if it's who I think this person is, he blocks anyone from the FB page who gives the slightest hint they aren't on his team. Not exactly the best way to endear people to your cause.

Well if it is in fact a scam, the business model is to focus only on the most gullible customers, and not waste any time on the rest.

Try having a conversation with a phone scammer if you're bored... if you sound like you have all your wits about you they'll just hang up.

All that said, they will probably be successful in the end, just not in time to help those who are 62+.

Historically ICAO meets every 3 years, so barring something that pushes an extra meeting, it’s off the table until Sept 2028. Sure it’s possible to get something passed in the US but good luck getting 60 senators to agree on anything right now.

This is the extent any senator is gonna go to bat for LEPF.
