Thank You Oklahoma Senators

I’d like to thank Oklahoma’s (and by extension, my) Senators Coburn and Inhofe. These two politicians have done us proud recently. Firstly, and probably most visible to the general populace considering what I’ve seen on the national news, is Senator Coburn. He’s been working to cut the pork in Federal spending. It’s exactly what he promised in his campaign and he’s living up to it. We still have some time to see if his efforts are successful, but he is most certainly trying. I was embarrassed by his crossword mishap, but that’s far offset by what he’s presented in session. Secondly, I’m proud of Senator Inhofe’s public statements and pressure he’s put forth regarding the DC ADIZ. See the AOPA site for more. I’m sure it doesn’t mean much to the general public, but the outcome of this situation has grave consequences on everyone. There is almost nothing that isn’t affected by general aviation (think shipping), so this is quite important, even if people don’t realize it. While the DC ADIZ itself doesn’t affect most of the country, its method of implementation is critical. Let’s hope the AOPA is successful and thank you Senator Inhofe for helping.
