[fvc-wat-announce] Robocall Article Response Request

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hello Everyone,

In case you haven't seen it, the article in today's Record on our robocall
talk is quiet good. Many thanks to Chris Herhalt for covering the talk
writing with fairness and objectivity.

http://www.therecord.com/news/local/article/871339--local-robocall-recipients-still-waiting-for-answers

One of the things we addressed at the talk was the need to keep this issue,
which is so fundamental to our democracy, alive. One way we can do that is
to respond to the article by writing  letters to the editor of the Record.
 Would you consider writing a letter to the editor of the Record addressing
any aspect of the article?  They are easy & fun to do and can carry a fair
punch.  If you write one, let us know so we can look out for it, and post
it to the announcements list!

There are three great events coming up that you might want to attend listed
below.  Usually we send links to other groups events but being the totally
nontechnical person that I am this is what I could do today get this
information out to you in a timely fashion.


Wishing everyone well,

Sharon
