... This works I just sent my letter . Recommend everyone join in ...
The ARRL is wisely recommending that we do NOT send letters directly to our reps (unless you have an inside contact with a legislative aide).
To be most effective, we are sending signed letters/faxes to our ARRL lobbyist, Chwat & Company. They will hand-carry these letters to the appropriate officials. Normal mailed letters can take up to TWO MONTHIS in is post 9/11 world to actually get to where you want it to on Capitol Hill.
Complete instructions are on the ARRL's site.
