Should Drone Pilots Support Air Map?

Air Map is actively supporting the Fienstein Drone Federalism Bill which will severely limit airspace for pilots

Recently the Drone U team was sent a compromising email that showcased that Air Map was actively supporting the Fienstein drone federalism bill, the drone innovation act which both promote a patchwork of local drone laws. Essentially these bills would empower local authorities to have control over the airspace up to 200 feet, creating a climate of chaos for drone pilots. Should pilots support Air Map when they are attempting to take the Federal Aviation’s Authority away?
