The reason that AOPA is in Frederick, Maryland, is because it's close to
Washington DC. While transmitting data can do much, there's a lot to be
said for "pressing the flesh" when the occasion requires it. Access to
legislators is a lot easier from Frederick than from Hobbs.

Although that is a compeling reason, SSA can't afford the lunch tabs, nor
the rent or staff. Might be much cheaper to hire a lobbyist (part-time).
