[CW] numbers ?

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

If you are just going to let your membership expire to send a message, it
won't be a very strong one.

It is much better to resign with a few days membership left.

I know also people who won't become members because of what ARRL has done,
but somehow it is good to send a message.

If you are a member and don't like what ARRL has done, write them.

It doesn't look like "being the ARRL" has any sway with FCC - which is VERY
BAD.  This SHOULD be the reason to belong, but it isn't what seems to be
what the FCC listens to.

Anyone think we should go back to the "Pre-Republican Reagan/Bush FCC"?

I do.
