THE SIGNAL NOVEMBER 2012

Legislative CornerEANGUS has only one mission--to provide avoice on Capitol Hill on enlisted National Guardissues.

The most powerful voice of all is constituent mail,

emails or personal contacts, and volumecounts!

Do YOU actively send emails, letters or makepersonal contacts by phone or in person to yourmembers of the Congress?

The makeup of Congress hasn't changed after the

November 6 elections. Our U.S. Constitutionplaces budgetary responsibility on congress. Doesthis mean a continuing impasse on the budgetagain? Let's hope there will be some leadershipand compromise! Congress, do what is best for ourgreat country before it is too late!

CURRENT LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE SOP

Barbara RainsEANGUS Auxiliary Legislative Committee Chair

CORRECTION: The 2012 Data Disk distributed at the national conference has anincorrect Legislative Committee SOP found on page 18 in the Auxiliary SOP section.We apologize for this error and Cora Sower will add the new revision to the next batchof disks. The following is the current Legislative Committee SOP (revised 2011) thatshould be used:

NGB - National Guard Bureau estimatesunemployment for the National Guard is ashigh as 20%. Write your congressionalrepresentatives and urge them to support andcosponsor H.R. 6372 which would require the

Department of Veterans Affairs to give firstconsideration to qualified veterans foremployment.

The Library of Congress THOMASsite (thomas.loc.gov/) is the sourcefor federal legislative information.THOMAS provides several options

for finding bills, resolutions, andsearch status of bill summaries andresolutions and appropriationsamong other things. The Thomassystem has had its first majoroverhaul. It will now be calledCongress.gov and will be replacingThomas by the end of 2014. Thenew website is still in beta. You cannow search across all of the contentin the system (as of the launch, thisincludes bill text, summary and

status, and Member profiles), refineyour results, quickly see the statusof a bill on a timeline, and view thenew Member pages with legislationsponsored and cosponsored. It isalso designed to dynamically fit thesize screen you are using, which isvery helpful if you are like me andwill look at Congress.gov on amonitor, tablet, and phone.

EANGUS AUXILIARYSTANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE

The Legislative Committee of the Auxiliary of the Enlisted Association of the National Guard ofthe United States will consist of a chairperson and one member from each Area (Area POC)who will be appointed by the Auxiliary President or the Legislative Chairperson.

EANGUS Auxiliary Legislative Chairperson (Chair) will contact Area POCs serving on thelegislative committee. The Area POC will contact each state in their area and establish a StateLegislative Point of Contact (SLPOC); this person can be the state president or their designee.When THE CALL or pertinent information is received, the Chair will immediately sendinformation out via e-mail or hardcopy to the Area POC; who in turn will send out the informationto their SLPOC. It is then the responsibility of SLPOC to disperse the information in a way theyfind the most effective in their respective state.

Semi-Annual reports are to be made by each SLPOC to their Area POC. The information forthis report will be obtained from a list kept by each SLPOC. The list should include the state,members name, e-mails, letters, phone contacts, visits and responses. In the event the lettersare obtained at an event, such as a state conference, briefings, Family Program functions, etc.,simply list the event rather than an individuals name. This information will be compiled fromthe SLPOCs Semi-Annual Report by the Area POC and forwarded either by e-mail or hardcopyto the Chair, who will in turn compile all information and forward to EANGUS and the AuxiliaryPresident.

Semi-Annual Report timelines for states may be established by the Area POC so as to arrive tothe Chair on time to meet the following timelines.

Semi-Annual Report Timelines:

Due to Chair from Area POCFor the period ending January 31 (for months of July 1-Jan. 31) - due February 5For the period ending June 20 (for months of Feb. 1-June 20) - due June 25

Due to EANGUS Legislative Office & Auxiliary President from ChairFor the period ending January 31 (for months of July 1-Jan. 31) - due February 10For the period ending June 20 (for months of Feb. 1-June 20) - due June 30

The EANGUS Auxiliary Budget authorizes a line item for the Committee. The Chairman willsubmit an expense voucher for all expenses within the current budget. The voucher, with

supporting receipts will be mailed to the EANGUS Auxiliary President. The final voucher for theyear should be sent to the President no later than July 15th.

ASAP THE CALLOccasionally THE CALL will require immediate action; therefore, it is recommended that eachstate establish a THE CALL phone tree, unless they have established an effective statewide e-mail list.

EANGUS AUXILIARYSTANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEEContinued

EANGUS Auxiliary Legislative Award Program

In the June report to the Area POC, each state SLPOC may nominate an individual whom theyfeel merits national recognition for their legislative activities during the previous year. Thesenominations will be compiled and forwarded by the Area POC to the Chair. The Chair willchoose one winner from each area. The winners will receive a certificate during the annualconference for their contribution to the legislative process. Hard copies of this information willnot be necessary. We work on an honor system. Each SLPOC may document their statesinformation in whatever way works best for each state. The high cost of mail makes it

prohibitive to send hardcopies to the Chair there is no need for the Chair to maintain hardcopyrecords.

EANGUS Hardcopies ofTHE CALL

It is strongly recommended that the e-mail system be used as much as possible as this will getthe information straight to the EANGUS office. In the event that e-mail cannot be used, it wouldbe beneficial for the member to make a copy of the letter and mail it to the EANGUS office atthe same time the member mails the letter to the congressman. NOTE: It is not necessary tosend hardcopies to the Chair, send directly to EANGUS.

Note: Letters to congressmen should not be sent on recycled paper as recycled paper

disintegrates when put through the security processes necessary for the congressmen.

A Military Thanksgiving

We offer gratitude this dayFor blessings multiplied,

For family, fellowship and friendsWho remain by our side.

Through many separations,

And distances so vast

That lesser love would be subdued.

It's doubtful it would last.

We share these bonds of feeling

That stretch between our souls

When distance separates usAs we pursue our goals.

But you have favored us with friends,And families that clutch

Us close although we wanderAround the globe so much.

So Lord this day we offer thanks,

And bow our heads in prayer.

We recognize that

You're the sourceOf all the love we share.
