I'd be tempted to kick it up a notch. Write a letter to the local chambers of commerce congratulating them, along with their congresscritters, for diversifying their economic base to the point that they don't need the business tourists bring into town. Specific example, the riders who won't be coming through, and won't be bringing their families back to see the spectacular scenery (at kilobucks per week). Add in that the loss of their tourism was caused by NFS employee John Doe (fill in the name(s) if you've got it), and point out that since the congresscritters didn't do anything to stop Mr. Doe, this must mean that tourist dollars are now swamped by the booming local industry.
Then sit back and watch the fireworks.
