HR 1301 PASSED - YOUR Help Is Needed, RIGHT NOW!!

Greetings fellow Great Lakes Division members,


Hopefully you have all seen the following message from ARRL President Rick Roderick K5UR.  It is now time for everyone to take action. 

Click on the link Rick provides and send your letter to each of your Senators.  It literally takes about 2 minutes to do, and you can take pride in helping pass this important legislation.

Here is Rick's letter to us all, and from your Director, Dale WA8EFK, thanks for your help:

Dear ARRL member,

I am writing to you today because we are at a crossroad in our efforts to obtain passage of The Amateur Radio Parity Act.

Our legislative efforts scored a major victory in our campaign when The Amateur Radio Parity Act, H.R. 1301, passed in the House of Representatives yesterday, September 12th. The legislation now moves to the Senate, where we need every Senator to approve the bill.

You are one of over 730,000 licensed Amateur Radio Operators living in the United States.  Many of you already live in deed-restricted communities, and that number grows daily.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL HAMS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS!

•        If you want to have effective outdoor antennas but are not
currently allowed to do so by your Home Owner’s Association, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!! 

•        If you already have outdoor antennas, but want to support
your fellow hams, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!!

•        If you want to preserve your ability to install effective
outdoor antennas on property that you own, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!!

We need you to reach out to your Senators TODAY!  Right away.

Help us in the effort.  Please go to this linked website and follow the
prompts:

Thank you.

Rick
