Certainly no need to argue. However, looking back at all the constructive feedback you've received regarding your campaign efforts, I can't help but notice the folks you appear to label as trolls are the only who ones who actually provided any worthwhile feedback.
The jpg file format was never intended for sharing documents. It was created for sharing digital images, particularly those created from digital photography. Glad to see you were able to get it converted to a PDF. PDF was created way back in the early 90s specifically for sharing documents.
Running a paper campaign seems so 1970s, but I see its already been suggested to you to run an on-line campaign.
Good luck with your campaign efforts.

Now that you mention struggling with a concept...did you really just draw a comparison of a motorcycle and a model aircraft? I would try to explain the difference and how one does not equate to the other since we're talking about model aviation...but I'm guessing it would miss the mark. Obvious fail is obvious. Carry on. I'm going flying today, yippy!

Not interested in arguing with a couple of trolls, I will just post the pdf version of the letter and supporting petition, and go back to other productive activities. I have received emails from member of another forum who mentioned they could not properly print the jpg files that were posted.
Those who are so inclined to support it can print the letter, sign the petition with whoever else supports it, and mail to their respective district VP.
This is the only way the AMA Executive Council will get a clue of the level of discontent.

All U O'l Gezzers (and I use that term with reverence) can partition and complain all U want ... After christmas there will be more people flying Quads (DRONES than belong to the AMA by a factor of 3 or more. As for Keeping Model aviation the way it always was, Then we all would be flying Free Flight with Brown JR motors or Control Line. Go fly your stick built planes with a 4 channel am radio Instead of all these 18 channel 2.4 Ghz computer radios and Gyros that do it all for U that is if U really don't like PROGRESS. It's the AMA Promoting advancement in this Hobby/Sport, that has kept this Hobby/Sport growing and making it easier and far less expensive.
The problem is not with the AMA endorsing DRONES and not sticking their heads in the sand and denying that they are here and soon to out number fixed wing. If we don't accept it and Attempt to Educate not just Whine and dismiss the coming influx of these Quads DRONES.
If the problem is the uninformed drone pilots (flyers) let's all make an effort to get the word out , When & Where to fly so as to curtail the coming threat from the FAA to limit the use of all R/C Toys that fly anywhere in the USA.
It's Your choice Educate them or die with them, again It's our choice and time is running out FAST.

When all else fails and they can't win someone over to their way of thinking, or they lack the ability to support an argument, they resort to name calling. Sad. It's hard to believe this bumbled launch of a letter is what Island was talking about months ago, this was the best they could do? Yikes.
Alas it is not to be. All that grandeur as amounted to nothing more than a read it, print it, sign it, and mail it in "pony express" campaign. I sure hope they haven't underestimated the frugalness of "most" modelers when they designed their campaign. With the exception of "the letter", it appears all the cost and work effort is being passed along to the individual supporter.

Geez, when someone tries to do something all you here is bellyache's. I don't entirely agree with it, but at least it is an effort. I see no efforts from those complaining.

I'm a bit taken back myself. I really thought we were going to witness a world class grass roots paradigm shift. Something that future generations of modelers could look back upon as one of the most significant life changing events in model aviation history.

I am mostly talking about those complaining about this petition. But, yes - that to. Same people tend to post negatively about most every other post here as well. Some exceptions, you not being one of them. Even though we often disagree I can be sure you are not complaining just to complain.

But remember the FAA very seldom comply with the recommendations of any organization including the NTSB/Congress, Why should they accept the Recommendations of some ad hoc Committee.

I do applaud the effort of the 14 who at least did something more than complain on a website, but that being said, it's still fair game to point out the positive and negative aspects of it. I said before, A for effort. I did also say C for execution but I'm leaning more towards a D the more I read it. And although some of what occurs here could be labeled as arguing (the saddest part being adults calling other people names ), I'd like to think most of it is either an exchange of ideas, or even a healthy debate. The fact that so many people take a contrary opinion so personally is beyond me.
