President Bush is coming to visit Southern California this Thursday in order to see the damage from the fires.  He is expected to deliver news of federal aid, talk to some of the local citizens, firefighters, and politicians.

Unfortunately, whereever he flies, there is a T.F.R (Temporary Flight Restriction) grounding all traffic within 60 miles of his plane.

If he lands pretty much anywhere in Southern California, firefighting air traffic is effectively stopped from being able to do water drops while he's in the air.  (That's around 7.2 million acres around him)

While he's on the ground, the TFR shrinks, but will still have an effect.


Please Mr. Bush, do a broadcast and explain why you want to protect the thing we need most...  Air based fire fighting.
