As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital
snip...

I urge those who care about this
issue to sign the online petition, join the online forum, and write
their own senators with their opinions of this bill.

This could end up like things in Russia. Public money funded resources are deemed too inefficient to be run by the
government, so the assets are put up for bid to private companies. The private company acquires the asset, and then
sells the service to the public.Very bad idea for the NWS, very bad idea for our freeways, very bad idea for our
airways...
