There is a line in the above EAA link that shows the number of folks who have signed up-----------currently at 27,400+ and growing larger every time I check.

Send this link to your family and friends too.

And, if you are a member of other online forums-----------I have gotten good feedback from my Jeep forum.

Now 74 cosponsors in the House. 4 Senators on board. If you have a Democrat in your district , give them an extra bump. This needs bipartisan support.

Thumbs up

Happy to report that my email to my Congressman was answered today with an email telling me that he has signed on to support HR 3708. First time I have ever received a response from a legislator that actually told me what his/her position on the issue is. Refreshing!

Default Back to Reality

Well, back to reality. After getting an actual response from my Congressman discussing the actual issue, I got a response from one of my Senators this morning. He did not have one word to say about this legislation but crowed about his support of the FAA Modernization act of 2012 and the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme Prohibition Act of 2011 that he proudly supported. Not one word about the General Aviation Pilot Protection Act of 2013. Inside the Beltway must be an alternate universe.

E-mailed both senators and my rep about three wks ago. Only response was a form letter from the one senator up for election in Nov. who faces a close race. Speaks volumes where their priorities are. I sure hope this bill makes it into law, I would start building an -8 or -4 the day it gets signed into law.

Don't let up on pressuring your Reps & Senators. The FAA final rule will never be as favorable to us as the legislation would be.

Absolutely don't give up the pressure on the congress!! This just means that the FAA will start thinking about looking at how they might consider doing a potential rulemaking process - a good way to delay it for at least several administrations.

This is an attempt to stave of a mandate from congress, and then they won't actually change anything in the long run.

Default FAA - bait and switch

The FAA is running for cover now and a bait and switch. They do not want the rules changed and don't want to lose their power to just change rules when they want. They really do not want a law restricting their "power" like is being proposed.

This is a stall maneuver to hope congress does not follow through with the legislation that they do not support.

Now we need to talk to those people in Washington and our own state capitals that work for us that we need the LAW, not a half assed bait and switch by the FAA. They are not our friends when they try to do this.
