Gore making this claim is like a lion complaining about hyenas.True statement here. I remember after 9/11 a comment by Al Gore (no I am not a big fan of his) . He made the observation that the loss of personal liberties in reaction to the terrorist attacks was a greater threat to America than the terrorists were. I thought he was nuts, but in retrospect, I see what he meant.

Glad Jimmy Hoffa's son had our back on this one. Don't see ALPA mentioned anywhere. Hope we have more success with the cabotage coming our way from the Emirates.Teamsters President James P. Hoffa expressed concern that drivers would be "forced to spend money on a test they may not need at the whim of a federal agency."
Just because ALPA isn't mentioned in the article doesn't mean they are standing by on this issue. Between the whim of an over-reaching medical chief, and cabotage.....now more than ever would be a great time to send money to ALPA PAC.

Yea, it was a cheap shot. This Moak letter was the most powerful reason I've seen for the need for a strong PAC.Just because ALPA isn't mentioned in the article doesn't mean they are standing by on this issue.
