It is time for a change.
The AMA has strayed from its mission.
We must return the AMA’s focus back to traditional modelers.
These are the first 3 lines of District 10 VP Larry Tougas' campaign statement
So at least one AMA VP agrees with the sentiment that I find I am surrounded with at my club.

Silent , can I ask you what promises were made and broken ? I'm not doubting you or challenging your statement here , I'd just like some details of the promises and how they were broken to add to the decision process . I'm lookin at it from the perspective of the more info on all the candidates I have means the more informed choice I can make .
Short version:
District X flying site, all new and improved website and significant new programs for flying site retention.
No District site, or real progress towards one.
A different, but not tangibly improved website which few people even know about
Not sure about flying site issues. That must take place behind the scenes.

So how can they want both? Perhaps they don't buy the sloganeering without specifics. Or as Tim noted, have personal experiences to base their opinion upon.

You throw this accusation around , a lot , and it's getting old .......Tell me , exactly , who ARE these "historically anti-AMA" folks Porcia ? Because when I look around this forum , all I see are longtime members who quite obviously are rather PRO AMA due to the fact that at least some of us have been paying AMA dues for better than 50 years ! Sorry Porcia , but when a member sees something they don't like about an organization that they quite obviously do like , I'd call that person a member with an issue about one small part of the organization's operations and NOT someone who is ANTI-AMA , but then again I'm not looking to divide folks here in the way you are . Folks who push a "go along to get along" or "don't rock the boat" agenda aren't some kind of "super member" with anyone with a question of AMA operations being an "Anti-AMA" member as your divisive narrative repeats continually , they are the members who ultimately IMPROVE the organization by finding areas for improvement .
So , hows about knocking off the "anti AMA" stuff and treating ALL your fellow AMA members with the respect they deserve for being members in the first place . You claim to be an LM , great , as an LM your supposed to lead the way in advancing our organization in the best ways possible , you wanna tell me how dividing folks with your trite little "Anti-AMA" label is doing the mission of advancing the AMA any favors ?
Can you tell I'm tired of seeing such "anti-AMA" insults coming from your keyboard ? We here are ALL AMA members , and in my view not a one of those members are "Anti-AMA" !

Lol.....the hall monitor routine is old and tired, so is the constant need to manufacture drama and indignation.
Pick virtually any thread in the ama forums...then read. If you don't spot the ever present anti-AMA sentiment, you are ignoring the obvious. Try not to take this personally....it's a general comment based on my observations. ...YMMV.

Tried to PM you with a full accounting of why I am not supporting him, but you do not accept PMs apparently.

A vast majority of your posts DO contain personal slights and are meant to continue your "duel" (Freudian slip? LOL).
That is a fact. You can stutter, stammer and refute it all you want, heck, you can even agree to disagree, but it doesn't change the facts.

As a frequent target myself, thanks for articulating it.
