I was hoping to target congressman who were specifically interested in these issues. I've told my story to every congressman I possibly could. I would encourage everyone to do the same. It's a matter of doing a simple Google search to find the representative in your district, and state senators, if you don't know who they are already. Most have a really easy e-mail system to use, right on their website. The only problem I have with it, is that it verifies your zip code, to make sure you are not trying to contact a representative outside of your district. I guess it's understandable, so they can avoid needless spam; but at the same time, I'd like to contact congressmen who are informed on the issues we face. I guess I will have to print out my e-mail, and send it by mail, or start making phone calls. To those who say it won't do any good: I say it's like voting. Yeah, maybe one person doesn't make much difference. But, when everyone is not doing it, because "it won't make a difference", the whole system is weakened. Then, the only people who are heard are those with a mass lobbying effort, such as the RAA. I'm doing my best to do my part, regardless of actual affect. The planets are well aligned for change. The best I've seen it since I've been a part of aviation. This is a hot topic in congress right now, obviously, and we have the right people in the right positions to actually do something about our situation. The time for resignation and whining is over.
