Because AOPA did backed Obama and charged the annual dues automatically to my credit card after I told them not to, I canceled my AOPA membership. So far, AOPA is nothing but a money hog with little return. They backed Obama and nothing could doom GA faster than a Communist in the Whitehouse. McCain is not for GA, either, but Obama is far worse.
They backed an effeminate poser over a former naval pilot for President? It's sad how institutions move to the left over time until they go bankrupt, morally and financially.
I’m having a hard time seeing the return for my AOPA membership, too.
The primary reason I keep it is to qualify for their insurance program. (I rent)
