Stans Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 The NDAA, including the requirement that the Defense Secretary prohibit defense contractors from requiring licenses or charging fees for the manufacturing, distribution or sale of model toy replicas of military equipment, passed the U.S. House of Representatives this afternoon. This is a significant victory for fairness and common sense. Our next step is to make sure that this provision remains intact as the bill goes to conference with the Senate. Rep. Andrews will continue to work hard to make sure that this becomes law. We all encourage US modelers to contact their representatives and congressmen to ensure that HR 4806, The Military Toy Replica Act, stays in the 2007 Defense Bill. http://www.modelingmadness.com/hr4806.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre_USA Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Coolio! I wrote my Congress-woman on this, as I feel strongly about it. I just hope the Senate is wise enough to pass it into law... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stans Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hey Doug......d'you think if we wrote some Congress types from a fake address in the US it would work ?? No, that might actually kill the initiative if lawmakers felt that this was not the will of the people. If you want to contact them, use your real name and address and explain your position and why someone outside the U.S. is interested in this issue. Now I can get real political with this, but I won't as I don't want my posting priveleges removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
