This heated debate is necessary and we should be thankful that this open forum exists at all. If this Wagga event proves no more than another gab-fest, then the membership of the AOPA should say to the directors that what is expected now is the appointment of experienced lobbyists to get the message across at federal election time, and beyond. Every concerned member of the AOPA should volunteer on election day to man one of the thousands of polling booths across the nation, armed with how-to-vote leaflets.
If Fred Hoinviille was still around, he would write it in the sky. Think he might have been one of AOPA's founders, apart from being a brilliant sky-writer.
