You'll hear a lot of protestations over the next
few days and weeks because of the lies and deceit of a master
politician who has acted in his own best interests, instead of
those who elected him. An old-style political bully, Daley (right)
fraudulently wrapped himself in the cloak of a protector in
claiming that the destruction of Meigs was an
anti-terrorism action... when in actuality, it was an act of
political terrorism against a nation's pilots and all the assets
they once brought to the windy city.
Meigs may well be dead. And the aviation world has been shaken
to the core... but the stand we did not take so effectively in the
past must be taken now. There must be a price to
pay for the political dishonesty and moral
cowardice of the Mayor Daleys of the world, there must be
a reckoning when one man attacks an entire segment of society as
well as a national asset, there must be a fearsome and costly
response to an act that outrages everyone who loves aviation and
understands that it is an integral part of what moves this country
forward each and every day. Make Daley pay.
Make Chicago pay for electing this fool. Make the
world understand that aviation is a vital resource that is not to
be trifled with. Let there be a cost for such
arrogance and destruction... a cost that no one else will
be willing to pay again.
ANN Suggests A World-Wide Boycott of Daley's Chicago
We believe that aviators the world over must
rethink any plans to visit, or spend any money in, the Chicago
area... if Chicago's myopic powers-that-be so want to isolate the
aviation world, we should also isolate our dollars and
business from Chicago and take them elsewhere. ANN's
Editor-In-Chief was scheduling a trip that would have originally
taken him through Chicago next month. Instead, he has canceled it,
and all Chicago area activities that might have meant spending
money there, and decided to conduct his trip through Milwaukee,
instead.
Boycott Chicago. Boycott
Daley. If they hate us, they'll not profit from us ever
again. Boycott Chicago.
