As mentioned above, we also ask for your continued patience - we cannot and will not communicate publicly every step we take, but we will report to you significant developments. We will endeavor to work with rocketry information outlets to provide accurate and timely information. And when the time is right, we will call on you for specific, coordinated action. Here's the hard part - until we ask you to take specific action, please do not take actions independently, and please do not communicate with ATF unless necessary. Our communications with ATF must be precise, coordinated, and consistent.
Mixed messages are unproductive at best, and they can be fatal.
Our recent decisions have not been made lightly. While in Virginia, we met with counsel and mapped out our plan of action. We believe it is a good plan with solid prospects for success, and we are already moving forward. Finally, we feel a need to stress unity. We, as your elected representatives,are united, but we need your support and cooperation to remain that way.
