Out of that 300,000 pilots, probably only about 50,000 vote, and that group
votes all over the place. Thus this is a meaningless group of voters and
ignored by all political parties.

What I am really surprised about is how many pussy pilots there are out
there.
I mean if there's 300,000 ish AOPA members out there, then that's an
important
block of votes. That's got to be one of the biggest PAC's next to AARP.
My reasoning about why our community is so tolerant of this flagrant abuse
is that we are all so used to being afraid of the FAA and what they may do
to our our pilots licenses, that we've forgotten what it REALLY means to
be a citizen of the United States.
