UPDATE: Pass the Bill Initiative

QST QST QST - All Radio Amateurs in the Pacific Division
Last year the ARRL launched the Pass the Bill initiative, a grassroots
effort to pass the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act (H.R. 1094
in the U.S. House and S. 459 in the U.S. Senate). This bill would
eliminate private land use restrictions that prohibit hams from
erecting
antennas on the property they own.
Many individuals, including Pacific Division members, have written to
their members of Congress asking for their support of the Amateur Radio
Emergency Preparedness Act. In fact, over 161,000 letters have been
sent by not only U.S. Hams, but even by non-hams and GMRS licensees who
believe the elimination of restrictions on the right of Americans to
communicate as they chose is important.
At present, the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act is still in
committee (the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Senate
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation). In order to be
voted on and passed in this Congress, the bill would have to be
approved
by these two committees. Current membership of these two Congressional
committees is available here:
https://www.commerce.senate.
https://energycommerce.house.
In the House, the bill has 32 co-sponsors at present.
If you have already sent a letter to your Congressional representatives,
thank you!

More can be done NOW to advance this bill.
Call your Congressman and Senator and ask them to support passage of
the
Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act (H.R. 1094 in the U.S. House
and S. 459 in the U.S. Senate). If they are not a co-sponsor, ask them
to join those who are.
Your continued help with securing their support on their respective
committees is critical to advancing the bill
this year.

ARRL members.
Please share this email in your club meetings this October and November.
