Beside the ligitimicy of the insurance, which seems to be debated endlessly in these forums, what about acting as a liasion for modelers?
Here is a quite from the President's Perspective of the November 2006 MA.
"...members of the AMA staff and officers have spend much time and effort meeting with everyone from local law enforcement to the Congress of the United States. There were meeting with various offices within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security, and the Federal Aviation Administration, all of which were aimed at retaining your right to continue to flye model airplanes. Keep this in mind the next time someone tries to tell you that AMA is only about insurance."

Do we have any proof of such meetings?
Was there a threat to model aviation?

I'm not against the AMA, but I would like to KNOW that I am getting what they say I am getting.
