All efforts to extort tax dollars from the general public in order to
support recreational flying, resist attempts to impose security measures
at GA airports, battle communities' efforts to control airport/airplane
noise, or eliminate any local control of development surrounding an
airstrip, will be temporarily suspended on account of the holiday.

I've been a GA pilot since 1984 and have never bothered to join the AOPA.
But, after scanning and selectively reading this newsgroup for only a month
or two, people like the poster of the above have convinced me finally join,
and my dues have already been sent.

Skylune, thanks for contributing some of your hard-earned money so that I
can enjoy flying! I'm sure you appreciate all the money I've contributed in
return so that your kids can get a decent education.

AMEN! And -- don't forget your state and local pilots' Associations,
either. It is they who are on the first line of defense against
Philistines like "jgrove' and "Skyloon."
