Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: corky, need "jist" of letter to congressmanWalt,I would advise that you NOT use a standard letter as a congressional aide once told me that if they receive those memo letters they usually send back the standard reply and trash the requests, AND I BELIEVE HIM.It would be much more effective if you were to take a few minutes with a pen and write your lett, long hand and as brief as possible. Be sure and bring out that this Sport Pilot issue is one which they can BRAG about as not costing the tax payers or the government one red cent to put into effect. I also brought out the position of small private aviation as becoming extinct. Ask him how long has it been since he looked up on a week end and saw or heard a Cub flying over. Try to make them think ( if that's possible).Corky in La________________________________________________________________________________

Kip,thanks,The part about keeping the small airports going and paying taxes , I like,and put into the letter.also put in about, that passing this won't cost the taxpayers " one redcent" (whatever that is).Think we have to push what the politicians think is "back burner" to whatthe people who vote them into office , feel is "front burner". Guess ifcorperate jets aren't affected, it's not an issue.Corky, us yankees up north are doing our small part." you got to keep kicking till you get out of the box"walt evans----- Original Message -----
