There is a bill that just passed in the House. It will modify the conditions in which a
scanner can be used. The language in the bill is such that the courts could determine that
the very act of listening to a scanner would be illegal. For more information see
http://www.strongsignals.net/ .
Below is a list of members of the Senate subcommittee that will first
consider H.R. 514. These are the folks you should contact first. EVERY
scanner owner should write to EACH ONE of these Senators, in addition to
writing to the two Senators from your own state.
