>> ... This works I just sent my letter . Recommend everyone join in ...
The ARRL is wisely recommending that we do NOT send letters directly to our
reps (unless you have an inside contact with a legislative aide).
To be most effective, we are sending signed letters/faxes to our ARRL
lobbyist, Chwat & Company. They will hand-carry these letters to the
appropriate officials. Normal mailed letters can take up to TWO MONTHIS in
is post 9/11 world to actually get to where you want it to on Capitol Hill.
Complete instructions are on the ARRL's site.

The bit about it taking up to 2 months for mail to reach your Representative
or Senator is just not true these days! Two weeks ago I sent a letter to
one of my Senators and got a reply in less than a week from the day I sent
it. Not only was there a reply, there also was a copy of a letter from the
particular federal agency that I was questioning directly addressing my
concerns.
Also, every Representative and Senator has at least one local office and, in
the case of Senators usually several local offices, to which mail can be
sent. The address of those offices can be found on the website of the
Senator or Representative as well as in most telephone books.
As for my particular Representative, I can hand deliver a letter in less
than 10 minutes! His local office is about 1/2 mile from my house.

There are, indeed, exceptions to what we are being told. Heck, I have a
friend who is a legislative aide to Senator Boxer out here in CA, and I can
get my "voice" in their office when I need to quickly.
But there's little argument in the benefits of having our ARRL lobbyist
physically hand-carry our letters to the appropriate recipients. That can
only have maximum impact ...
