Harrison Ford says: Stop Obama from giving away productivity

By Janice Wood · June 8, 2009 ·

More than 1.2 million jobs and billions of dollars of economic activity are generated by general aviation, actor and pilot Harrison Ford states on a Web site posting a petition to Members of Congress. “You can help keep it that way,” Ford states. His petition opposes Obama Administration policies detrimental to general aviation.

“By lending your name to our petition, you can help us protect over a million jobs and thousands of communities across our country that depend on general aviation as an economic lifeline,” Ford says. “Our petition will be shared with policy makers in Washington, DC, who can make a difference. Lend your name today!”
