User Fees are coming closer to being very real

The threat to general avaiation from "User Fees" is right now. I know
this has been discussed for as long as I've been around aviation which
is 30 years now, but this is not hot air this is a real 2006 problem.
As you can see from the articles below the white house, FAA and
airlines are all in agreement. The only thing standing in their way is
the congress.

If you care there are two things you can do.

Email, Snail mail and call your representatives in DC.

Join or renew your AOPA and EAA memberships. I know neither
organization is perfect but they are our best representatives in DC.

AOPA story from yesterday March 2nd 2006
"When the FAA and all the airlines are in total agreement about
something, it's not usually good for general aviation."
