When the 527 group opens, I plan on reaching out to Feingold, Paul and Waxman - as well as test the waters with hopefully like-minded Reps from tourist-sensitive places like Hawai'i and Florida; but for that step, I need data showing a drop in tourism or a drop in pax counts at a particular airport.
They won't listen to opinion, but they might listen to facts.
The 527 will also reach out to airport directors and try to build a coalition from the industry itself.
If fund-raising is sufficient, and the website/ads/PR work gets some traction, I plan on extending things to a PAC, which would utilize funds to either support or go after Congressfolk running for (re)election.
