Fwd: Stop the $100 per flight user fee

Dear 5eyey,

To stop the $100-Per-Flight general aviation user fee proposal now on the table in Washington, D.C., I need your name on our Official AOPA Petition to Congress.

This user fee was first proposed by the President in his 2013 budget. So far, we've been able to hold the line and stop it. But with national elections coming up in November, now is the time for Congress to hear your voice.

That's why I'm urging you to join AOPA today. By joining now, you can automatically add your name to our Petition, tell Congress where you stand, and give AOPA a fighting chance to stop user fees before they destroy general aviation and YOUR freedom to fly!
