From the Alliance for Aviation Across America:
I write with a critical update. The big commercial airlines and private interests are lobbying hard for a bill introduced in Congress, by Congressman Bill Shuster (R-PA), which takes away Congressional authority over our air traffic control system and turns it over to a board of private stakeholders.
The ”AIRR Act,” or H.R. 2997, would hand over this vital infrastructure to private stakeholders, resulting in more endless taxes and fees on consumers, and emboldening the airlines to further cut off access to rural communities. That is why business leaders, rural and agricultural groups, Mayors across the country and the majority of Americans all oppose air traffic control privatization. But this is a critical time, Congress will consider this legislation in the coming weeks.
Tweet at Congress and tell your leaders to oppose the AIRR Act’s hand out to private interests!
Write to Congress and tell your leaders to oppose the AIRR Act’s hand out to private interests!
We need your help now more than ever–please lend your voice by contacting Congress via email and Twitter, and tell your Representatives to oppose H.R. 2997, the AIRR Act.
With your help, we can ensure that Congressional oversight of our air traffic control system remains in place, and prevent this big, corporate giveaway to the airlines and other private interests.
Thank you.
