They got Senetor Mike Enzie lobbying on the floor of the Senate and to the press on behalf of the rocket hobby and sport rocketry, and it worked. The Senate backed off. All hear from the AMA is lip service. I'm frustrated, angry, and depressed at the thought of such a crazy situation this has become.
If you haven't heard anything from the AMA, how are you then able to say all you are hearing from them is lip service. What have YOU done since you've been aware of this, who have you reached out to and what have been your suggestions. Local AMA AVP's, National members, politicians?
