Come on Guys! Take this Challenge!

My niece worked in DC for a Senator. She said they seldom read e-mails but always read snail mail. Was this recently? For a while there after the anthrax scare, congresscritters avoided reading snail mail. It also took months for it to pass through the security stuff. What's that like now? George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |

Before, during, and just a month or two after. She left. Anthrax security was one of the reasons - having to deal with it, let alone having to even consider it. Montblack |

That's funny -- I was just thinking how the danged bureaucrats had become
so *bold* since 9/11. While you seem to be a very good person, unfortunately it's individuals like you, with your blind 'yes I will follow' attitude who can so easily be led down a path that are the greatest threat to our country. Remember that it's 'government by and FOR the people',,, not the other way around. Uh, Cecil, I believe you have misinterpreted my comment. That was NOT meant to be a complimentary view of what our bureaucrats have done. In fact, I'm appalled at the way our government is run primarily by the bureaucrats, with the politicians doing little but trying to wag the dog. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

That's funny -- I was just thinking how the danged bureaucrats had become so *bold* since 9/11. It doesn't take any boldness to create a bunch of regulations to cover your ass. It's the populace that has become timid, in the face of the bloody bureaucrats, in virtually all aspects of public life. Yes; we are to blame for putting up with this bullcrap. -- Dan "There ought to be limits to freedom." - George W. Bush |

Yeah, both of my senators have a statement on their WEB sites stating that if you want them to see something, it has to be e-mail. |

Exactly!
Add to that the fact there are about 400,000 members of AOPA, and about 600,000 pilots total, and one does not even have 1% of the voting population to draw from. We are not the AARP, or the NRA who the politicians actually listen to on occasion. These letter writing campaigns are a waste of time and mean nothing to these guys. Tom "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Jay Beckman" wrote in message news:MS15f.77802$lq6.12852@fed1read01... [...] I think that if the powers that be see a significant volume of comments opposing the proposed rule, they're gonna probably (I hope) notice. One need only look at the outcome of other recent FAA NPRM, in which thousands of "against" comments were provided without changing the direction of the rule-making, to udnerstand that commenting on this NPRM isn't going to have an effect either. Face it: at this point in the game, with the NPRM already written and published, the rule is as good as made. Whichever FAA bureaucrats put this whole thing together, there's no way they're going to admit it's a mistake. Frankly, if anything, restricted airspace gives those FAA bureaucrats a reason for being. It's the same reason ALL of our supposed "security improvements" have been made: for some bizarre reason, the general public is trusting those who get paid to create security to tell us how much security we need.
