Here’s the text of the letter to the Congress, at the end of the letter I sent to the media – about 10 minutes before take-off.

I agree 100% with your comments. Personally, I believe most politicians don’t even realize how much donors influence– or even infect– their positions on issues.

Take the situation with a newly elected congressperson. Maybe they are on the job 6 mos. They are expected to raise $$ for their party. One day, someone from K street contacts them. After a few “coffees” during which the would-be influencer compliments the congressperson, it feels like they’re friends. The k st person suggests he/she would like to sponsor a small fund-raiser for the new member of congress. That congress person may not realize that the real sponsor is the XYZ industry. And now the congress person feels indebted. Even worse, he/she may not even realize he/she is being influenced by his/her new “friend”.

We need all elections for Congress and President to be funded SOLELY a by federal govt…e.g. by taxpayers… With zero contributions from any other person or entity, including the candidate and/or his/her family. Period. No loopholes!

Thank you Mr. Hughes for your heroic flight and most important mail delivery of your career. You are a true Patriot. I just watched your story on Democracy Now and in
turn discovered your website. I can’t thank you enough. It is people like you who give me hope and urge me to keep up the fight.

Mr. Hughes,

Good luck with your upcoming hearing. I am deeply upset at the lack of media coverage about your flight. You must have hit a few of the right nerves if your incredible act is being overlooked (some people/companies don’t want your ideas to become widespread).

I’m greatly inspired by the level of planning and thought you obviously put into this. And beyond that, I respect the flawless execution. Hopefully you can respond to this letter soon, but I’m curious as to what happened to the letters themselves? I doubt the congressmen they were addressed to actually received, let alone read them.

I would like to do what I can to make sure your plan is seen. I imagine I could send a copy of your solution myself, and try to have others do so too. Could you send me a copy of the letter you wrote so I can forward it? I have some of my own thoughts on how the government could realistically be altered, but I haven’t thought of this as much as you have.

Your actions weren’t a joke to me, and I would love for your actions to have been the spark necessary to ignite real change over the next dozen or so years.

I want to help fan the flames Doug. I want to send your letters to Congress until they reply. I want to make your message known to the people it will ultimately help so much. I’m 23 years old and don’t want to see corrupt politicians affecting the rest of my adult life. I want my family’s freedoms protected, and I fear our current systems do not allow for true representation of the people.

Please stay in touch.

Best,

Michael Gentry

I agree with your position on getting the money out of American politics. I am sorry that your message of finance reform was “lost”, but I am not surprised that corporate media buried your intended message.

In Solidarity,

Doug – you are absolutely right. Thank you for your courage. It is so frustrating to try to comunicate sense to people, they are so blinded by the partisanship and the Fox propaganda machine. I wish you all the best in your efforts, and hope the feds don’t try to make an example of you. Very best regards, Rick Blumhorst, Paola, KS. BTW – I flew a VW-Bensen several years ago. I survived the thrill. :>)
