The House Resolution is looking great, with lots of support. But we are getting very concerned about the Senate version. First, we will have no more than nine days, once session resumes, to have it introduced into a committee and passed to the floor for a vote. And virtually all of the letters we are gathering are coming from Metro Detroit. We keep hitting the same Democratic senators with letter after letter, with few letters going to the Republicans from Saginaw, Lansing, Grand Rapids, etc.
Final Rules are below.
The next day I spoke with Senator DeBeaussaert, and he imparted new information which greatly raises the level of urgency, in regards to our resolution. Basically, we have about three weeks to do the bulk of our letter-writing campaign. Therefore, I am taking it upon myself, unilaterally, to work out the details of this contest. I apologize for acting undemocratically, but believe there to have been no other choice. But that every band who participates is a winner, simply for helping to relegalize community radio.
