But, to each his own.
Hey, if you wrote your own letters, that's great. Thanks for doing that. For the rest of us, the call to action link is almost ridiculously easy and quick to use. I believe it can make a difference.
I have two relatives who lobby in DC. That's pretty much all that town is now, and you wouldn't believe the two things they lobby for. As in: They have lobbyists?? We absolutely HAVE to be there. I don't care if it's ALPA, DPA, or Billy Bob's airline pilots and bait shop... all I care about is having a voice. Right now that's ALPA. Well, thanks again for writing the letters. Those actually go a long way. Cheers...
