Title: Message
The RUS program to which some of  the companies in our industry are making application for financing is at risk on Capitol Hill.
 
We have been encouraged by our Motorola Government Relationship Organization in Washington D.C to encourage interested WISPs to let their respective US Senators and US Representative know how they feel.  To that end we have enclosed a draft letter that might assist you in this effort.
 
If you support the RUS initiative please encourage your Senators to support the Dorgan Amendment in the Agriculture Appropriations Bill.  The Dorgan amendment would strip the language in the bill that would do away with the RUS funding.  Please encourage your Congressmen and Senators to contact Fitz Elder, the key aide on this subject to Senator Bennett, the Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee.  The Members of Congress and Senators will know how they want to contact Bennett or Fitz Elder.
 
If you want to learn more about what RUS funding is and how it affects the BWA industry you may want to check out this link: http://www.connectwithcanopy.com/index.cfm?canopy=security.story&aid=122
 
Time is of the essence.
 
Sincerely,
