I've been in AOPA since the late 70s. I become more disillisioned with them

that they're just "improving" it .. I guess time will tell on that one. The

ADIZ and the constant pop up 30 mile radius TFRs are still around. They're
a business that sells memberships .. not an an organization for the benefit
of members.


The AOPA is a very small organization when compared to the money
involved in politics. I think you guys are expecting too much. How
much do you think such an organization can do in the face or corrupt
politicians, or even just ones that get more money from other interest
groups. I think the only way we are going to stop this kind of thing,
is for EVERY rights group to join forces and fight every stupid
political move or law that restricts the rights of any group. I doubt
that will happen. We lazy Americans don't seem to care until it is
something that directly effects us and what we like to do. What I don't
think most realize, is that an attack on any groups freedom is an attack
on everyone's freedom. Of course there is one big problem with my idea,
lots of so called rights groups that have nothing to do with rights and
really have the same agenda as the people trying to take away rights.
