Boyer: "With our long experience in lobbying Congress, we know when
and how to target politicians to express our position,"
Boyer added. "Rarely has AOPA ever been placed in a position
to bring in the full power of our 400,000 members to stop a
bill on either the House or Senate floor because we work at
being effective well prior to that point. In this case, we
did just that and didn't need to call on our members for
assistance."



What a total load of BS, as usual. Having apparently lost on the really,
really big issues, ADIZ (and having gone apolplectic about the transcript
being pulled from the record) and user fees (though light GA may be
exempted from some fees), he takes credit for this ill-thought Weener bill
being pulled. A bill that has no support.

Does anyone know WHAT "rare" occassion he is referring to when AOPA
brought to "stop a bill on the House or Senate floor?" Maybe this has
happened in an episode of West Wing....

Junior Soprano has more marbles left than this guy, judging from the most
recent tirades about the ADIZ and user fees being the "death" of GA.
Ridiculous.
