AOPA Releases $$ Amount Spent on Lobbying

AOPA released its dollar amount spent on lobbying in 2007. In total, AOPA spent 4.8 billion (yes I said billion) sticking up for the the GA types of the world, which would include myself and Steve. Breaking it down, that is roughly $10 of each AOPA member's annual dues, which are $40. Glad to know that money is being spent toward something. I know AOPA has a pretty big footprint in Washington general aviation issues, but I guess 4.8 billion was not what I would have guessed. Naturally most of this money was spent to bend the ears of those who make the laws or regulations pilots and manufacturers abide by.
