Excellent post. I generally agree that monied lobbies (such as the AOPA)
generally win out over loosely (or non-) organized citizens.

However, the internet is enabling groups that are seeking to change the
FAA culture and limit GA to come together.

You are absolutely right to fear the Kelo decision. This will be another
quiver in the anti-GA arsenal, especially for publicly owned GA airports
that pay no taxes. The strings on the FAA grants will make it a
difficult, but interesting battle. I expect local groups to begin eminent
domain proceedings against private and public GA airports.
