If you really want to know how the money is spent, go to the Member's Only section on the AMA site and look at the Financal Statement. It is there. It also get published, piecemeal, in Model Aviation Magazine.

Be careful in making claims in this forum. Anything that is ambigious will draw attention. Your claim that your club pays the AMA $13000 a year is a good example. If what you meant to say was the members OF YOUR CLUB pay that amount in individual dues, it is not the same thing. Your club sends the AMA less than $200 per year. The casual reader in this forum takes everything at face value.

The AMA is talking. If you really have a question about insurance, call Carl Maroney and talk to him at AMA HQ.

Now my turn.. a question for you. What do you mean when you say "But if people have been trying since the 1970's to change the AMA unsuccessfully, what can we really expect." I see that again and again, and no one ever explains what it is that they want to see changed or what they percieve did not change. What people? What changes? What attempts were made and how?
