EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE need to take this state wide.If everyone does there part locally the attention is drawn.Then we all set a date while it is a hot topic to stage a protest again same day for all areas county wide in same location for each respective area.Now all of a sudden we have news coverage from every little section of the state on the same day and that gets point across for the real issue of paying registeration fees & not opening more areas!
Bravo!!!!!!!!!
Maybe an Association can be created that will protect our sport. For example, I'm sure many of you have heard of AOPA (Aircraft Owners & Pilot's Association), this is a national and there is also an International group (IAOPA). They defend the private aviation community from ilegal airport closures and extreme measures. They represent them at the local and federal government level. Not just small groups protesting here and there, but a strong group a legal entity.
I cannot say that I would be a good person to start something of this magnitude, but I would certainly not mind at all joining an association of this type and pay my dues, as I have paid my AOPA dues for more than 10 years now. BTW, there are more than 400,000 members today... A group with that weight most certainly has a say in what laws and such passed.
Just a thought....
