Leave it to you Porcia83 to be the voice of discouragement,
I counted on it, you have never failed me, that is precisely why I sent my post directly to you .

All that the petition requires is for a member to check they agree to the petition, and type in their name, email and if needed address.
The petition and all the names and emails could be sent from
Muncie Central even after they arrive.
The AMA already has the language needed for a petition, it wouldn't take long for an IT to do IT. (not quite a palindrone, no,no I mean palindrome, not drone)

The AMA email says "Executive Council will arrive at Capitol Hill to speak to members of Congress and their staffs ,it is better to have a hard copy of a petition it has greater effect.
Even if the Executive Council misses a few Congressmen, they could present the hard copy to most.


"The time to write and voice the concern is done, and past, and a write in campaign isn't going to change a federal agency. "

You could also make the argument that a trip to Washington would not change a federal agency.

You and I do not know what factors are needed to persuade a Federal Agency, Congressmen, petitions, protests, emails, letters, $$$$, hookers ?

The AMA's representation of us in this situation is a matter for discussion. To offer the AMA's 80 year history to

avoid criticize actual encourages criticism.



Does not a successful trip to DC serve the "whole hobby" and not cater to individuals ?
