Back to the Subject of the original posting that being Bob Violett's letter to the AMA; in reading the letter, Bob asks the AMA why they attended the 'AUVSI' Convention, spending AMA Member's dollars; when in my opinion, a large number of AMA Members do not support sUAS or FPV; and this has been shown to be the case.
At a recent AMA Executive Council Meeting on July 19, a proposal was made that Headquarters continue with the small UAS program and allocate $250,000 over 18 months for implementation.
Here is the link to those meeting minutes; scroll down to 'Motion V':

It narrowly passed 7 to 6; please note what Districts that voted 'NO'; III, V, VII, VIII, X and XI.
Which means, the AMA is willing to spend $250,000 of Membership money to support something that could be detrimental to the existance of our Hobby, huh, am I missing something here?
So depending in what District you live in, you can see what side of the fence your District VP sits on!
I am appreciative that my VP voted correctly!
