Re: [IRCA] NY Times - House Cmte Chmn orders FCC Inquiry

[LEE FRESHWATER <amlogbook@xxxxxxxxx>]

Do not send emails.... They will not count.(and they probably wont get read)... You need to send a letter. Send it to their Washington office AS WELL as a copy to their main district office.

SEND seperate letters to each member of the committee

I speak from experience...actually my wife worked 18 years for Cliff Stearns  R-FL


regards to the group and good luck......
