Air Travelers Association Endorses Barack Obama for President


Mon Jan 7, 2008 9:00am EST

POTOMAC, Md.--(Business Wire)--David Stempler, President of the Air Travelers Association, today
announced that he and the Association are endorsing Barack Obama for
President. The Air Travelers Association
(www.AirTravelersAssociation.com), founded in 1997, advocates
for airline passengers on airline safety, security, savings, and
service. David Stempler, President of the Air Travelers Association,
is often called the "Voice of Passengers" and is an internationally
known authority on airline passenger and air travel issues. David
Stempler was recently selected by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation
to be the airline passenger/consumer representative on the New York
Aviation Rulemaking Committee to reduce aviation congestion and delay
in the New York metropolitan area.

According to Stempler, "The best hope for airline passengers to
solve the current aviation crisis involving congestion, delay, and
dangerous safety, near-collision problems is to quickly get in place a
new, GPS-based, next generation, air traffic control system, called
'NextGen'. We believe that Barack Obama is the best candidate for
President, and as a forward-thinking President, will get NextGen
passed in Congress, and then quickly implemented and deployed
throughout the United States. We give our complete trust and support
to Senator Barack Obama who can use his charisma, inspiration, and
can-do attitude to solve many of the problems facing this country,
including those involving our aviation system."

Stempler continued, "Every individual, business, company, and
corporation, uses airline travel to get around this country and
internationally. The troubles of our overburdened aviation system are
widespread and affect every person, every package shipper and
recipient, and every industry in this country.

Stempler concluded that, "We believe that Senator Barack Obama is
the best Presidential candidate to solve our critical aviation
problems and to move our airline/aviation system into the 21st
century. We can have GPS navigation systems in any car or truck that
we want. There is no reason why we can't have GPS units in every
airliner that we fly on. We believe that Barack Obama will enable us
to have safety-based, GPS systems for airliners, sooner than any other
candidate for President, and that is why we are endorsing Barack Obama
for President."
