I also used examples of AMA getting involved with Reno and Oshkosh or anything else that is aviation / public related. I feel that there is a big void in public relations if the time comes that we need support in keeping frequencies, or worse yet, rights to fly period.

IMHO, I think it would be much easier to get many people in very high places into and very much hooked on RC aeromodeling. I've mentioned this several times, but no one seems to be interested in such an idea. Get local and national government officials and their kids to visit any club so they can see just how important in the grand scheme of things our great RC endeavor truly is.
Otherwise, everyone can complain till the cows come home since no one at AMA headquarters will be fired even if they never utter another word to the membership nor do anything at all to change the hobby's downward direction.
