H.R. 1627, The Civil Air Patrol Homeland Security Support Act

[Lloyd Bumanglag Capt,CAP]

Send letters to your congressman/congresswoman to vote for the amendment.


H.R. 1627, The Civil Air Patrol Homeland Security Support Act of 2009

H.R. 1627 would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to direct the Secretary to enter into an agreement with the Secretary of the Air Force to use Civil Air Patrol personnel and resources to support homeland security missions.

man, that makes this seem rather probable!  http://captalk.net/index.php?topic=7599.0

Actually, I'd say it makes it less probable.  This basically allows the DHS to use CAP more freely without having to move CAP to DHS.

I just fired off an email to my representative by using this link:

Contact your Representative

It is quick and painless.

THEY WORK FOR YOU!!!!!!!

And I can tell you that elected officials' staff, who have to deal with the floods of emails generated by these web tools, find these things highly obnoxious.  They're 1000% less effective than a well-crafted, hand-written letter or requesting a meeting with one of the official's staff members to share your point of view.

Well, it's their tool... granted it  may just flush all incoming email to file 13, but if the House of Representatives put it up, they probabaly want people to use it...

What would be better than 100 emails some college student assistant has to sort through would be for members to actually go meet with their reps and talk to them.  I know people like to throw out the term "they work for us".  Sounds good, but then there is reality.  Its right up there with "Hey cop, I pay your salary."
