The problem with that is that you've got as many villains on the other side of the aisle. It's Republicans in New York who are trying to make it illegal for anyone under 18 (even a student on cross country) to fly into New York. http://www.eaa.org/communications/eaanews/030328_memberalert.html The Senator from Wisconsin who is the EAA's nemisis is a Republican. The governor of NJ, whose executive order is trying to mandate double locks on all airplanes, or the airport will be fined out of existence, is a Democrat. The seige of General Aviation is a bi-partisan effort to lay the problems of the Middle East at the feet of a scape-goat who hasn't the organizational strength nor will to fight back. This war against those who would close the skies is on so many fronts that it is going to be very difficult to win without measures that are proven by the NRA, by MAAD, and by other such single- issue groups that threaten political annihilation of anyone who crosses them.
