Re: Time For A Lobbynig Progrma For A Mars Mission - Time to play politics
The Mars Society and people who support it need to organize themselves and operate more like lobbyists for traditional interests like the gun lobby and AARP operate on Capitol Hill.
Do we even have a lobbyist? Someone who can visit congressman or the president and talk on their own terms?
Can we afford one?

I know that as of recent there have been other groups that have spoken out against the space exploration vision or at least of parts of it or of its funding mechanism in whole or in part as defined by the President.
Not only should they lobby for it but they could also lobby for funding of there activities or programs that would either supplement or go beyond what Nasa is doing. I know the desert research and arctic facilities could use more than just support some funding could go a long way.
