GRASS ROOTS POLITICAL ACTION FORUM


There will be a forum at noon on Friday May 14th. of the Hamvention this

year on grassroots political action.



The program will feature ARRL General Counsel and our man in DC Chris Imlay,
W3KD, New England Vice Director Mike Raisbeck, K1TWF and ARRL President Jim
Haynie, W5JBP as speakers.  Great Lakes Division Vice Director Dick Mondro,
W8FQT will be the MC and Great Lakes Division Director Jim Weaver K8JE will
offer the opening remarks.



This forum was called by your Division Leadership to bring attention to the
importance of communicating with your legislators on amateur radio issues.
They have gathered experts to answer your questions. President Haynie and
General Counsel Imlay have spent more time lobbying in Washington than
anyone in recent history and they have the knowledge to teach us how to get
action.



This is a MUST SEE Forum and we would recommend that you ask your club
members to attend and to kick of an effort within your clubs. No one will do
this for us, we must act now to protect our spectrum and protect our ability
to enjoy the Amateur Radio Service.



If you have not met President Haynie, or heard him speak, you have missed a
real treat. Here's your opportunity to meet the people that work for you as
a League Member. Plan to be there.
