This was going to happen if we spent $1 or $1 million. The only way we had to possibly avoid this was the drone definition vs traditional model aircraft.

Maybe there is still time, but we have to convince our own "non elected" leadership (Mathewson/Hanson) to change course and they seem intent on doubling down (or maybe quadrupling down by now) their existing strategy.
Even if the AMA educated all of the membership and then some, most people will be ignorant of the registration requirement. And most of those who know will ignore it.
