[LCC] U.S. House of Representatives: Co-sponsor HR.4969, the "Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014" - Sign the Petition!

[David Norris]

Marsh, Guys,

This link sends one to the ABR coax log in site.  I am not sewing a link past that.  

The ARRL is currently working on key Congressmen with our new lobbying firm.  We will need not only your signature on this and other petitions, but our LLC and I will be contacting some of you to help us work on your Member of Congress to gain more cosponsors on this great piece of Federal legislation.  

We have a bullet point document to be given to your Congressman or his staff.  If you have a close connection with Congress in LA, please let us know as we certainly can use your help!
