Space Exploration Alliance (“SEA”)
2008 Legislative Blitz
February 10-12, 2008


The SEA is gathering registrations for a visit to U.S. Congressional offices in Washington, D.C. for purposes of “…making a powerful, broad-based statement in support of space exploration. This year's focus is a Congressional Space Budget Campaign. Participants will be the first members of the space advocacy community to visit Congress to discuss the FY09 budget.”

To find out more and register to become a participant in this important effort, you must register here:

Act quickly, as training for the visit is on February 10.

While you’re there, maybe you could take some time out to lobby for a “revival” of Senator Enzi’s original bill to exempt model rocketry from the onerous restrictions placed on our hobby by the BATFE and the Homeland Security Act. Visit ARSA’s website for more details on that prior effort. http://www.space-rockets.com/congress.html
