AOPA calls on members to let President Bush know what his TFRs do to them
July 18 — Security restrictions for President Bush have created a "perfect 
storm" over Texas this weekend: four 30-nm-radius temporary flight restrictions 
(TFRs), two of which overlap in time and airspace, in a 24-hour period. These 
TFRs impact 70 Texas airports.
"President Bush is a pilot. It's time he understood what his security detail 
is doing to fellow pilots," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "Presidential 
security personnel have only one constituent: the President himself. But Mr. 
Bush 
has millions of constituents, and now is the time for him to hear from them."
AOPA is urging any pilot who is affected by this weekend's TFRs to write to 
President Bush and let him know how his security arrangements have impacted 
your flight.
"Don't send an e-mail," said AOPA Senior Vice President of Government and 
Technical Affairs Andy Cebula. "It might as well be junk mail. Send a letter. 
In 
Washington, a piece of paper carries a lot more weight." The White House 
address is 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20500.
