Hey, Butch, there are part-15 organized people on the ground in Louisana right now, and we're funnelling support to them as we speak. We're supporting people who, just like Mac, are attempting to do the same thing Mac's doing. WISPA's support of Mac is a great example of kindness and generosity

A couple issues... First, delivering a WISPA message to the FCC doesn't need to be expensive. It only costs me about $3.50 in gas, to show up on the FCC door step, and hand deliver it and take a meeting with someone. All I need is WISPA to organize an agenda of what information they want me t
