This just gets better all the time. You got a by-law committee which was chaired by someone who, even though has completed his job, seems to call all the shots,ignored everybodies ideas, satisfied their own agenda, a nominating committee hand picked by the current boss,who wont say BOO, a no campaigning policy for all  incoming canidate hopefuls, an internet forum which scorns any resistance to the entire proccess, and almost 6000 members who hopefully wont vote for anybody, because they have no idea whats going on or who these people are running for president or what those silly by-laws even mean anyways.  Jeepers John, i hope you know some majic, looks like you will need it.  By the way John, if you did happen to get in and do as you promise,which is communicate and lead, you wont hear one beep outa me. The way i see it, even if you never did or said anything i agreed with, i could and would live with it because you stood behind it with merit.
