I've no doubt that AOPAs DC folk (and Phil himself) are doing some serious
flesh pressing. This is a subject that has been on AOPAs radar for quite
some time.

I hope he's doing more than that. I know the AOPA funded a couple TV
commercials but that seems like a high cost/low effect effort.

I'd like to see the AOPA put together a coalition of GA manufacturers,
flight schools, aircraft dealers, charter companies, FBOs, insurance
companies to put some focused pressure on congress. I'm betting there are
quite a few private pilots in congress that could get heavily involved.

Write your senators and representatives...we can change this...

I would add Phil's favorite statements that The United States has the
largest, safest, most efficient air transportation system in the world, why
should we jeopardize that with a change?

her request to have access to USAF aircraft for her transportation

Yeah, she got her request approved today. Did you hear that she also
requested an aircraft to take her 150 miles to a Williamsburg retreat while
the other members of congress took a bus.

Thankfully her request was denied.

Anyone who thinks the Democrats are any different than the Republiclans
is naive beyond belief.

Anybody who imagines a group of US Representatives or Senators
climbing on a bus and singing "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" for
any distance, much less 150 miles, has a tenuous grasp on reality.

If they're not wearing their hair in braids, it just doesn't cut it.

Yup. A democrat will have to come clean up the mess, and get blamed for
stifling the economy because taxes went up, all to pay off Bush's war
tab.

Defense is all of 16% of the budget, up from 14.5%.

A peak at might be a benefit, too.

Get a clue!

How about a hint, or a link? What is the Article 1, Section 8?
