A pilot friend mentioned an alleged conversation he had with Phil Boyer, the

presidential candidate and was told that AOPA had already supported George W
Bush through political contributions. I can find nothing to back up this
claim. Does anyone else have any information?


Rumors are worthless. The information is easily available.

Money given to both parties, though it skews Republican. I'm a Democrat
but I'm OK with that skew if they are really selecting candidates to
fund based solely on support for GA. That's their purpose. I give to
AOPA PAC and will continue to.

No money to Bush, Gore, Kerry, etc. Looks like they stick to
Congressional races.
