Have you written or emailed your Congressman about H Res 230, introduced 
by Rep Ross - WD5DVR?.  

It is not only important, but imperative for you to encourage your 
Oklahoma State Representatives to endorse this Resolution!!!!

If you have received this post then you have a computer, or access to 
one.  Type in the following <http://www.congress.org> -- Right in the 
center of the page, it will say ... "Write Elected Officaials - enter 
your zip code".    It will ask for your nine digit Zip -- if you don't 
know it, the program will ask for your address and tell you the last 4 
digits of your nine digit Zip Code.   Just follow the instructions -- 
WRITE OR EMAIL your Congressman!!!!

See the  full text of this HR 230 Resolution and a 'sample letter'  on 
the ARRL site <http://www.arrl.org> -- it is the second article down, as 
of today.

===================== O =================================
THIS IS WHAT I EMAILED TO MY CONGRESSMAN
Rep Ross has introduced a resolution (H Res 230) calling on the FCC to 
"conduct a full and complete analysis" of interference from broadband 
over power line {BPL).  The previous FCC Commission completely ignored 
our pleas and many others who have serious concerns regarding the 
interference BPL does and will produce.   BPL is not only harmful to 
Amateur Radio, but Police, Fire, Emergency Management, EMS, and all 
others utilizing VHF frequencies.  
The President has encouraged the use of BPL, so I believe that is where 
the emphasis came from to approve this detrimental mode of  radio 
transmission   The FCC approved BPL before they really understood the 
impact it will have on existing emergency 'First Responders'.
Please assist Rep Ross, from Arkansas, in his attempt to revisit this 
poorly adopted BPL implementation
