RE: EC problems for the AMA
Jim-
Cuppla thoughts, one a workaround of the immediate impasse, one for the long haul.
1) There is relatively little district-only business of a policy making nature; most of the policy that DVPs are involved with making is AMA-wide. A few of the DVPs know that, and would likely entertain your inputs rather than dissing you off like 'your' DVP has. You know who they are - contact them.
2) The D-cubed Plan - Dump the Dingbat DVPs. No need to elaborate on that, as the guys in D-I and D-V gave some very effective demonstrations just last fall.
