Take action: Three ways you can help beat user fees

Stop User Fees T-shirt

The greatest strength in the FAA funding debate is you—AOPA's more than 413,000 members. We have three ways you can help right now defeat user fees. First, e-mail the CEO of US Airways, Douglas Parker, to voice your complaint against the airline's recent e-mail to its frequent fliers advocating a "surcharge," or what AOPA calls a user fee. Second, sign our petition against user fees, and e-mail a friend now, urging him or her to sign. Third, share AOPA's message by wearing our Stop User Fees T-shirt, available from Sporty's. The T-shirts are being offered in response to demand from members who first saw them at AOPA's Big Yellow Tent at Oshkosh. Wear your T-shirt to local community meetings with your congressman or senator. Strength comes in numbers—so join AOPA as we continue this fight against user fees.
