At this point, manycongresspersons have been approached about the bill. However,for a successful effort to pass the bill, we need the bestpossible congressperson to introduce the bill. Due to hisposition as Chair of the House Committee on Space and Science,Congressman George Brown is the logical choice. He has a longrecord of support and interest in space development, and helpedpass the Launch Services Purchase Act and the Space SettlementsAct. There is a small group of activists in southern California who have assisted George Brown in his recent re-election campaigns.We are mobilizing this group to have them tell Congressman Brownabout the Back to the Moon bill. We are also asking pro-spaceconstituents to let him know that they care about gettingAmerica back to the Moon. Finally, there is a good chance that a nationwide alert for space activists to call or write George Brown to have himintroduce the Back to the Moon bill may be staged during latespring, 1993. All this should produce a positive reaction from Brown'soffice. As more is known, it will be passed on. However, even if we are successful in getting him to supportthe bill, this alone will not ensure passage of the bill. Forany bill to become law, one of three conditions must exist:either the bill must reflect widespread national support for anissue (such as extension of unemployment insurance benefits); bepropelled by high-priced lobbyists (we're out of luck there); orhave widespread support within Congress, due to small, butwidespread, constituent support. The latter is the path that we,by necessity, must choose. This means that the introduction of the Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act must be immediately accompanied by a large numberof congresspersons' sponsorship of the bill. To accomplishthis, we need activists to ask their congressperson to supportthe Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act - now. To wait until thebill is introduced is simply too late - it takes time to have acongressperson's staff review a bill. If your congressperson mentions that the bill is not yetintroduced, please elicit their opinion of the bill as currentlywritten. We appreciate all comments on the bill from activistsand politicians. If you have yet to see the Back to the Moon bill, pleaserequest a copy by Email (please include your U.S. postal serviceaddress), or contact your local chapter of the National SpaceSociety).--- Maximus 2.01wb
