Good point. Sending out pre-addressed postcards for members to send to
congresscritters is a good tactic that AOPA should adopt.

I got interviewed when I flew in to AOPA Expo in Philadelphia. The guy asked for
one thing that I felt that AOPA should do that they aren't. I told him that they
seem to be scared to point fingers at people in Washington. If someone adds an
amendment to a bill that the NRA doesn't like, the entire membership finds out
about it, including the identity of the author of the amendment. AOPA seems to
be scared of crossing anyone in Washington. They'll mention the amendment, but
they won't tell you who sponsored it.
