We have met the enemy - and he is us...


This is all over the boating groups... We pilots also need to enlist
our friends, coworkers, acquaintances, enemies, and neighbors, who are
boaters and get them stirred up over this.. There are vastly more
boaters in the USA than pilots... The group that needs to get buried
in hate mail from our boating friends is your elected congress
critter.. They tend to be sensitive to voter unrest.. Once sensitized
to the issue they will drop around the HSA and casually mention where
the tax dollars to fund this massive new inspection and monitoring
boondoggle will NOT be coming from....
