Actually, since you brought this up, I want to vent my spleen.
How does GA actually do a political stunt that will get the attention
of the courts in a good way, or get political clout, that will stop
these TFRs?
Example: When the truck drivers of this country (or farmers) decide to
make a point, they drive into DC and bring it to a halt for a few hours
or day or so.
Would getting, say, 20 people with slow, but IFR certified a/c to all
file and fly into BWI, Dulles, and National (low pass, no landing) -
simultaneously, get their attention?
The answer is, YES. And GA could get banned. But I do like to fantasize
about doing that with 3 blimps at Ohare to make a point to Da Furher!
So, what GA function that if it were not done for a week would get
their attention? And it must be done in such a way that those who
refrain will not be out of pocket.
I'd love to work on this hot potato, because I honestly don't see AOPA
or EAA making it happen. So I think it must be a grass roots thing.

ps. NO, I do not have any Blimp time or hopes of any.
