The problems facing Global Exchange and other TSPs are contained in the document you reference of July. In any case the obstructive spirit is the same.

The problem is political and the solution is political. All purposeful travel must receive a general license and the category of Travel Service Provider must be done away with.

A petition to that effect has been launched but more important is how pressure is brought during the campaign on Obama and his surrogates as these are steps completely within the President’s power. If Romney wins, everything goes down the tubes.
