Gentlepeople,
As you know, I have responded point-by-point to Tony Barr many times. I am
not going to do that again.
Anyone who wishes to know more about AOPA's government relations work and
our positions may contact me or Martha Rinker ( <Email Address Redacted> ). Our
website is available too, although some parts are accessable only to AOPA
members.
I would urge all of you to get involved in our important work to effect
changes in the law that actually have a chance of passage (i.e., the Harkin
Bill language). We are joined in these efforts by NAAOP, members of the
Academy, and ABC-certified practitioners.
If I wanted a prosthesis made I would go to a professional; if I want a law
passed, I would also go to a government relations professional. Please do
not be misled by misinformation from people that are practicing outside
of their scope.
Again, AOPA is open to your questions or comments.
