I have said this before and I am saying it again simply because it is so important. We need as many members of the Congress and Senate to join the General Aviaiton Caucus as possible. 

On  February 15, in Washington, DC there is going to be a reception to host present and potential Members of the GA Caucus.  We need to get your representatives to that reception. 

So, get on your e-mail (or call them up).  This communiqué from the AOPA will be helpful: 

The Co-Chairs of the U.S. House of Representatives General Aviation Caucus (GA Caucus), Congressmen Sam Graves (R-MO) and John Barrow (D-GA), both AOPA members, need your help.  They are required to re-establish the Caucus in the new Congress and in so doing, they have to recruit Members to join all over again.  The Caucus is a bipartisan group of Members of Congress who are interested in learning the importance of general aviation  to our economy and transportation system.  

We need a robust GA Caucus to fend of attacks on our freedom to fly.  Last year we had 125 Members of the House GA Caucus and Congressmen Graves and Barrow want to surpass that number this Congress.  They can’t do it without your help.  

Please reach out to you Representatives and encourage him/her to join the GA Caucus to secure the future of General Aviation and the 1.3 million jobs and more than $150 billion it contributes to the U.S. economy annually.  

Be sure to tell them that they can join the Caucus by contacting Mike Matousek (with Congressman Sam Graves) at 202-225-7041 or mike.matousek@mail.house.gov or Brandon Webb (with Congressman  John Barrow) at 202-225-2823 or brandon.webb@mail.house.gov.  To view the Dear Colleague letter from Congressmen Graves and Barrow to all Members of Congress inviting them to join the House GA Caucus click here http://download.aopa.org/advocacy/GA_Caucus_Dear_Colleague.pdf
