[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

[David Cook]

Bully for the AMA but in this case I believe they are more like the AAA
Auto club. A trip-tik, a map or some lovely accessories from the gift shop
but you still have to deal with the DMV yourself. Do we know what
additional information the FAA wants that the AMA doesn't have. Say your
SS# to attach your records to the IRS? Maybe some of the already registered
full scale pilots can shed some light here. Government is like the 'big
bang theory'  of an ever expanding universe. I am unaware of a mechanism
that has successfully ever shrunk government incursion. Once registered,
what about the other involved agencies? HLS, INS, ICE, ATF, FBI, NTSB, BP,
DEA, CG, (FDA?)... I think we are just witnessing the sunrise folks.
We are all aware of the ridiculous degrees of separation between each of us
and FAA committee that implemented this, but. I very much encourage you to
send a written letter to each of your U.S. Senators and Representatives. It
must be a full FACTUAL explanation of the problem as you know it. The more
detailed the better. Remember they don't have the detail in front of them
(yet). Include a statement of the real or perceived harm that you would be
subjected to. Also include a proposed solution to the problem, if you
don't, you might just end up with the solution we already have. Now proudly
stand up, with your torch and pitch fork in hand, and put your name address
on the letter.
You will invest less time than you spend adjusting your ailerons. You will
receive a limp noddle letter of response for your effort  but I assure you
that this is not an indication of the level of impact your letter has on
the constituent services department within each elected officials office.
Once they know you are out here, your continued follow up has greater
validity. We elected them, lets put them to work for us.
DC
...end  of rant.
