I would like to ask a favor of people reading this post. I have contacted Senator Barbara Boxer's office and spoke with her Legislative Assistant, Bridget Petruczok, who handles aviation matters. I explained to her the importance of having a Senate AMT Day Resolution to mirror the Congressional one passed last year. I am enthusiastic about Senator Boxer introducing this resolution but it was indicated that in order for her to do so that letters of support need to be received by people from within California. If you are not from CA that is fine. Writing to Senator Boxer and informing her that you will contact your Senator once she introduces the resolution you will ask your Senators to be co-sponsors.
I know it is time consuming to sit and write a letter and then mail it since we have mostly become use to jotting down a simple e-mail for a lot of our day to day correspondence. But if you could take the time to write to Senator Boxer voicing your support and interest in having a Senate AMT Day Resolution introduced and passed I would be very grateful. A long letter is not needed but rather a request from you asking that the AMTA's efforts to recognize Charles E. Taylor and today's skilled AMT work force be given her attention.
If you can write a letter please let me know so I can keep track as best I can so when I contact Bridget in a month I will know how much support this resolution receives. People writing to Senator Boxer do not need to be licensed AMTs. What her office is looking for is internal support from Californians. Once she introduces this important resolution to the Aviation Operations, Safety & Security Subcommittee we can then ask for people from across the nation within our profession to write in. If you could forward this request for writing to Senator Boxer to as many people you know who live within California will help ensure that Senator Boxer moves forward with the process of having a Senate AMT Day Resolution.
Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] if you would like to copy the letter which I have sent to the Senator along with your letter. You may mail your letter to:
Honorable Senator Barbara Boxer
112 hart Senate Office Building
Washington D.C. 20510
You may also fax your letter to her Washington Office at (202) 224-0454 and send it Attention: Bridget Petruczok. If you wish to call her office after writing her office number is (202) 224-3553. I thank you for any assistance that you can lend in having this important resolution become a reality. Ken MacTiernan
