----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Greg and all, I wrote my Senators and a couple other important ones, also the house, but not my representative, he is doing like he did on the drug problems when he was US Attorney in Ft. Smith (nothing), but I did write a couple other representatives. I suggest everyone write DC, and more than once or more than one person. The following is my letter: Robert Parker
P.O.Box 18 Mena, AR 71953 9/19/01 I am in small aircraft maintenance, they mostly fly under Part 91. Part 91 VFR flight has been closed down for a full week now. Most Part 91 operators work on a day to day basis, if lucky it is week to week. It is by no means a one to three month to the next one to three months type of operation. I am already feeling the vise tighten on my neck. There are six airplanes done, there are 11 waiting to come in. The ones that are here cannot leave, so no money for the work. The ones wanting to come in cannot do so, no money from them either. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 The CEOs of the airlines met in Washington to beg for $24,000,000,000.00, now if they get it, which they most likely will, are they going to devide it up with all of the part 91 operators they are putting out of business? Will Congress push the so called advisors to put us back into operation, then we could go back to work, and we would not be so weak as to ask the tax payers to bail us out. We would go to work and work with our own hands to get back on our feet. We would not come to Washington, begging the tax payers to bail us out. In 1950s I was 18 years old and in the United States Air Force, we were as all veterans fighting for the statement Benjamin Franklin made 191 years earlier, among all of our other freedoms and rights. Part 91 flying a privilege, I think not, I fought for rights. The right to worship, the right to speak my opinion, the right to make a good an honest living,that has not been taken from me by so called advisors. They say the terrorist could use the small airplanes to drop Bo-chemicals in water supplies. So we in General Aviation are paying for the attacks on the World Trade Center. Did they stop all automotive movements when a truck was used to bomb the WTC the first time or when McVey bomb the Federal Building in Oklahoma. If the airlines, National Security Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation to name a few, had been doing what the tax payer pays them for, this would not have happened. Who is now paying for it? We tax payer who was paying them to do a job, that they failed to do. Our terrorist are not hidden faces, they are people we have paid to do a job, and they failed. I would fire an employee with their record. We need to fly yesterday, not 30 to 90 days in the future. I have never ask the government for anything, unemployment, welfare, food stamps, and at 68 years, have still not drawn on social security, all I am asking now is for the government to give me back my ability to buy my food, pay my rent and utilities, that will be done by stopping the cover my _ _ _ advise given our President by the people unable to do their job, SECURITY. Thank you for your most valuable time.
