I just received my ballot form for 05,i went to the AMA web sight and read the statements by the two candidates on the ballot.
there is a section 3 on the ballot card that has writ-ins,where on the Internet or AMA web sight would i find any other statements or names as a write-in?
i intended this to be a little sarcastic,because there are only two choices on section 1 of the ballot,i could put my name as a write-in and get 1 vote but if it were on section 1 of the form wouldn't i get more votes just for being another choice?Maybe I'm missing something it just seems odd to me.

Got my ballot too. Pretty slim pickins for choices. I will probally vote for Hossfly just so he will either "put up" or "shut up"! Wish more people would have gotten their name on the ballot so I wouldn't have to cast my vote for someone who irratates me so much. He thinks he can do better than the current VP, so I am all for giving him his shot. My vegas bet would be that he will fall right in with the "click" within a few months if he gets in, but we'll see!

well sometimes it takes someone very irritating to get their point across.when i was working we had union stewards and the good ones that would fight the best usually made supervisor,because they were such an irritation to management.......lol.if they made supervisor they couldn't be stewards.

I'd bet he gets something like 3 to 5 % of the vote, no more. That what happened last time around, and scant little has changed.

I would do a terrible job! AMA would be broke in a month. This is why I am glad there are those smarter than me who are willing to run for positions like this. They put themselves in front of everyone to be judged, and may the best man win!

"clique" spelled like that just looks so french. "click" spelled like I spelled it, looks exactly like a dumb American like me would spell it!

Thanks for the support regardless of the reasons. If you wish to really investigate if I will "....fall right in with the "click"..." you may be interested in my time as a DVP for District VI 79'-'82. Available to all in the MA mags in the AMA web Members Only section.

My interests, goals, and loyalties are to The Academy Of Model Aeronautics' established purposes, and the membership thereof, which is to promote the SPORT and RECREATION of model aviation. As it is written, "Leaders are like eagles, they don't flock, you find them one at a time."

While many good leaders may not be the most popular personality with the total public, sometimes the learned public recognizes those that accomplish things. I felt that way when the EC nominating committee refused to place me on the ballot for a second term, yet the good people in AMA Dist. VI were alert enough to maintain me in office with a firm majority (back then it required 51% to be elected) of WRITE-IN votes. Of course there were those that flock, and those that had a finger in the plum-pie that still scream about how bad I was/am, yet they never seem to present any specific reasons.

Since a lot of the respondents herein were not around TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, why don't you bring them up to date on that little fiasco ?

I mean, did you resign the D VI slot _before_ the write-in campaign, or _after_ the write-in campaign ?

While you're at it, perhaps you could enlighten the other respondents herein regarding the _reason_ the nominating committee refused to put you on the ballot for a second term ?

I seem to recall something about the AMA President telling you to either behave in EC meetings or you'd get tossed out. True or false ?

I hope you get elected Hossfly-at least we will have someone watch dogging the expenses and maybe that will promote aeromodeling at a local level instead of muncie-you got my vote and I am spreading the word

Recieved my ballot this morning and got it back in the mail with a checkmark on Mr. Cains name, just as I did last time around.
