What I am really surprised about is how many pussy pilots there are out
there.
I mean if there's 300,000 ish AOPA members out there, then that's an
important
block of votes. That's got to be one of the biggest PAC's next to AARP.

Not really. It is tiny in terms of PACs. AARP has nearly 30 million members.
The National Education Association has 3 million members. So does the
National Rifle Association. And these are the small ones. Most of the other
big PACs and associations number their members in the many millions, too.

AOPA is a drop in the ocean.
