President Calls for Increase in Model Rocketry

DaveHein said:

So the concensus on this thread is that we like that the president mentioned model rocketry in his speech, and we want the federal government to be more involved in our hobby? Be careful what you wish for.:shock:

I wouldn't have worded it quite that way.

I think that the idea is that we should "spin" this to our benefit just like the politicians do. We're not asking the president or anyone else to do more than they've already done. I'd just like to see NAR, TRA and anyone else get some mileage out of the comments that the president already made. Boosterdude's promo was sort of tongue-in-cheek but I would love to see NAR do something like that. Heck, there's no reason at all that AIA and TARC couldn't use the president's quote in some of their posters and stuff.

Every little bit helps...
