Comment Help out rocketry, put the ATF in its place (Score 1) 728
John Wickam, a former NASA engineer, is trying to get an exemption passed through the US Senate for amateur & hobby rocketry. Please help by contacting your US Senator (preferably next week). Here is John's post from Rocketry Online:
"To all ARSA Members & ALL of ROCKETRY, Next week, we will be calling on all fifty states to write and phone their US Senators. This will be in support of an exemption for rocketry materials from the Safe Explosives Act. A major announcement will be made next week in the US Senate and we want to time your letters and phone calls with that announcement. We will be putting up information you need on "talking points" for your letter and phone calls plus the names of all your Senators, their addresses, fax numbers and phone numbers. This information will be provided on:
You may repost this anywhere you wish.

Please notify as many people as you can about this so we can get a major response from our fellow rocketeers. This will be the time many of you have been waiting for, we must not hold anything back. I cannot stress how important a big response from each of you is to the success of this effort. We will be sending and posting more information as the time approaches. For now, get the word out on the street to assemble the troops and get ready for action.You may repost this anywhere you wish.
