  Just call me vindictive. if I drop my membership I can't vote.  So what do I do? I call Pat Ertl of Antique Power and tell him Why I'm not renewing his magazine.
  He said he was staying out of the politics of the HPOCA. Hey if your making money from the board who will not answer our questions,  I'll spend my money elsewhere till they answer our questions. And said so.

Keith, you're vindictive alright. 

Pat is doing what he was contracted to do. It's not his place to get involved in what goes on in this club. And I also feel that if he did take a stand, he would alienate more people. You'd then be saying 'stay out of our business'. 

As long as you are going to such lengths, maybe you should find out who supplies the paper for both the HPOC and AP.  Why stop there, find out who grows the trees. They should be willing to take a stand. My point is, if you have trouble with the HPOCA, there are ways to make changes with out having to draw in people that are just doing their jobs. 

By the way, I wasn't too familiar with Antique Power until we took this job. But I have been very impressed with what I have seen. Last I heard they have somewhere close to 50,000 subscribers. I'm guessing that your one subscription isn't going to make a world of difference, especially since I am going to subscribe now.
