The NAR just sent out a mass mailing encouraging us to to this, too.
Another excellent source of such communications is youth groups. Every model rocketeer who is involved with the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H Clubs, Camp Fire USA, the Civil Air Patrol, and school model rocket programs should inform their local groups, chapters, or teachers with whom they work on these programs, and encourage them to contact the DOT regarding this issue. A united front of many people from all walks of life is more likely to succeed. Also, model rocketeers who are members of these organizations (the Scouts, for example) should contact their *national* headquarters and request that they respond to the DOT's proposal.
