bob, youre not understanding the difference between local and national level politics. The NPS at nrgb are cooperating for the reasons you gave. Other nps locations are not under any obligations to help wv and dont care remotely if wv senators call them.The wv governor isnt going to washington to speak on our behalf if fewer people show at bridge day. Calling your local congressman would be more appropriate if everyone who did bridge day participated. Showing up at the Department of the Interiors park division office en masse would have more effect than boycotting bd. People wouldnt cooperate in bd boycott anyway. You are right though, money, friends, and phone calls--word of mouth, knowing the right people. Ive seen more nuclear engineers, doctors, lawyers, businessman, etc in base than anywhere else. Doesnt someone know anybody big? George Bush Sr., are you on line, jumper? Free Base Jump, georgie!
