The last discussion I had with the PPA on this matter was that they were going to stay out of this type of stuff.

I've had some recent communications with them where they seem to be more receptive to the idea of having their members acting more actively. Perhaps they've started changing their minds since we starting having successes and have gotten noticed. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I'll PM you with more info.

Everyone: if we want the PPA to do more, we should ask them. If they won't, we should consider doing it ourselves, I think. We may be able to start a very small 527 or PAC, simply to have a legal structure. Through this, we could get small donations here and there from industry and from concerned citizens. I think the first step is to tell PPA what we want.

Perhaps I haven't been following this as closely as I should, but where is AGA on the issue? Anyone looked at their PAC structure and who they give money to?
