AMA Election Latest Edition

[Hoss Cain]

Hate to drive this too much however:

Here and other places, some are using various excuses for NOT voting. Gents, there is simply no real excuse for any eligible AMA voter to NOT vote.
  
For anyone who says they do not adequately know the current Candidates for election, then do both Yourself and the AMA membership a good deed. Simply  go study what they have done within the AMA as previous EC members and/or paid positions.

IMO the slate does leave a lot to be desired yet that is NOT changeable at this time. However if you go to the Executive Council on the AMA web, then study for at least 3 years back the EC meetings and minutes, you will have a better understanding of what they DID or Did NOT, and how they think. Are they for the organization, for the membership, or just for their own longevity for free rides to the big shows? Decide for yourself, vote for  your opinion of the best and forget the excuses.

The exception is Neuberger. He has a super "pedigree" yet, will he voice his learned opinion when he should? Will he go with the EC yes-sir yes-sir types ,or will he use his immense background to stand up and be counted when the overall membership is on the hook?
  
I'm voting Rice and Neuberger. Not because of personal liking or dislike, but because, IMO, they will best serve the AMA's membership at this time, more so than the other choices.

Yes Clancy, it would be great gaining a write-in victory, however even though I did that once, I never expect to do so again. Right now I think we need to consider the future of the AMA membership. So far the CL and FF guys have virtually elected the officers because they vote. Keep it going.

Too late, Bubba. I already voted for you.  Steve

Will get my vote in.  I am one of the few that read Model Aviation and also read what candidates have to say about them selves.  Thanks,
