Thanks to John Mitchell, Moyaone Reserve:

• There is an important proposed amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act, sponsored by MD Senators Cardin and Van Hollen, to seek greater dispersion of flights to avoid having them come over the a swath of the same residences every 90 seconds. The FAA Reauthorization bill has passed the house, and awaiting Senate action. Now is the time to contact the ranking Senators on the Senate Transportation Committee, asking for passage of the Markey/Warren/Cardin/Van Hollen Overflight Dispersion Restoration Amendment to the FAA Budget Reauthorization Bill.
