Dear ARRL Member-   
      
   We need your help!  TODAY!   
      
   For the past year, ARRL has been working in both houses of Congress to promote   
   the Amateur Radio Parity Act.  This is legislation that would provide some   
   relief on antenna restrictions for Amateurs living in deed-restricted   
   communities. The bills are H.R. 1301 in the House of Representatives and S   
   1685 in the Senate. Complete information on the legislation is available here   
   www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-parity-act   
      
   We believe that H.R. 1301 will be scheduled for a hearing before the House   
   Energy and Commerce Committee in the near future. Your Congressional   
   representative is a member of that committee.   
      
   We need you to contact them and ask for their support of this legislation of   
   vital importance to the future of Amateur Radio.   
      
   ARRL has set up a website that makes contacting your Representative an easy   
   task.  Please follow the link to https://arrl.rallycongress.net/   
   tas/urge-congress-to-support-amateur-radio-parity-act .   
      
   When you visit that page, enter your Zip code and your information (name,   
   address, etc.).  An editable draft letter will be created.  Once you make any   
   desired edits, click the "send" button and your letter will be on its way.  If   
   you prefer to contact your Representative by phone, the site provides that   
   information for you as well.   
      
   We are now at a crucial stage in our effort to get the Amateur Radio Parity   
   Act successfully through Congress. The bill cleared the Senate Committee on   
   Commerce, Science and Transportation on November 18th. We need your help NOW   
   to insure that the bill successfully moves through the House Committee on   
   Energy and Commerce.   
      
   WE CAN ONLY SUCCEED WITH YOUR HELP!  Please take a few minutes to let your   
   Representative know this legislation is important to you and all the other   
   Amateurs in your District.   
      
   Thank you for your help at this critical juncture.  Let's get this done!

   "So let me ask you a question about this brave new world of yours. When you've   
   killed all the bad guys, and when it's all perfect, and just and fair, and   
   when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going   
   to do with the people like you? The trouble makers. How are you going to   
   protect your glorious revolution from the next one?" - The twelfth Doctor
