> 
> The ARRL is making good progress on obtaining U.S. House of
> Representatives Co-Sponsors for HR 4969.  However, we still need more
> so that we can press the FCC into extending the provisions of PRB-1 to
> include private Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)
> attached to private residential property.  We need many more ARRL
> members sending electronic letters, email messages, etc., to their
> Representative requesting their co-sponsorship NOW.  The U.S. House of
> Representatives has returned from its August vacation and this session
> will last about a month until they adjourn in October for election
> campaigning in their respective districts.
> 
> For an in-depth discussion of the rationale for submitting HR 4969,
> including a brief history of ARRL’s struggle to obtain a level
> playing field for Amateur Radio Licensees living in CC&R restricted
> communities, please access the HR 4969 link in the horizontal scrolling
> portion of the ARRL website homepage.
> 
> If you do not know who is your representative, this information is 
> available here.  You will also find detailed instructions on how to
> communicate with your Congressman / Congresswoman.  
> 
> Due to the short remaining best time (rest of September) for making
> your request, please send email copies to me and our new lobbying firm
> - The Keelen Group - in Washington, DC.  The Keelen Group’s email
> address is:  help at keelengroup.com   Please put HR 4969 as the first
> word in your email Subject line.
> 
> On Monday, Sep 8th, I am flying to Washington, DC to personally lobby
> for this very important issue on behalf of all U.S. Amateur Radio
> Licensees.  A very large quantity of individual, well-documented,
> polite but firm, email requests will greatly enhance my efforts.
> 
> For the first time in the 12 plus years I have been your ARRL Division
> Director, I believe we have a pretty good chance to get the FCC 
> to extend PRB-1.  The more individual messages sent to the 
> U.S. House of Representatives, the better our chances of success.
