Don't know...great idea, though!

I think Rep Allen West, retired Army Lt Col, is from the Orlando area, and he's certainly no fan of intrusive government. He'd be at the top of my list of invitees.

Had the opportunity to hand deliver a letter to Congressman Mike Ross today, he agrees with the AMA's position and pledged his support.

Dropped off two letters at Congressman Tom Petri's Home Office here in Fond du Lac today, along with the recent copy of Model Aviation to give him a feel for the size and scope of our hobby. He was not available at the time, but I discussed the issues with one of his aids at length. One letter was the form letter suggested by the AMA, and the second was a more personal letter as I have know him for all 17 of his terms. It included invitations to our fly-ins and more detail how Model Aviation betters our community.

The aid understood the issue and will be presenting it to Tom in D.C. next week. Tom is the Chair of the Aviation Sub-Committee of the House so is in the center of the FAA Re-Authorization Process.

I plan to follow up with phone call next week. All congressman are up to their ball sacks in politics right now with upcoming expiration of funding on March 4th, so hard to pin them down.

Oh, Dean....your gliders aren't 'faster' at Chatfield. You have to go climb up a mountain first and hope for wind! LOL

I just got the post from Sid, so I'm 337th in CO....yeah, yeah, I'm slow.

Not much activity on this thread lately. Are you all waiting for the next guy to do it for you or don't you care if the FAA is in your back pocket? Get your letters sent in. It's easy, fast and hopefully affective.

Still haven't been able to make phone contact with Tom Petri, our local 6th district rep in Congress, who sits on the Transportation Committee as Chair of the Aviation Sub-Committee in the House after discussing the FAA over-reach with his top aid, but still trying again this week. Very busy man!

I still do not know for sure how the AMA is delivering our form letters to our Congressman, hopefully through a lobbyist......Why? Well here in Wisconsin my local State Representative, Randy Hopper, who is a Republican involved in the Madison, WI bruha over Collective Bargaining, blogged today that last week, his office received 56,000 emails, most of them form letters from constituents, with only about 10% coming from his district. Well over 50% are coming from out of state.

With the budget crunch in D.C., I would expect similar numbers in our Congressman's InBox.

So, while all the numbers you guys are running up with our form letters are phenominal, I still think that personal contact should be included whenever possible, even if you only get an aid to listen and relay our concerns to the Congressman. A personal letter, in addition to the point and click form letters, should also be considered.
