I support the AMA. That doesn't mean I agree with Its stance on every issue. I have noticed a lot of inflation in the goods and services that I have used over the past 5 years, so it is not a surprise that the dues are increasing now. The AMA does a lot of good. It brings modelers together, provides flyers with insurance, and is our largest and most vocal National advocacy group. The hobby is very broad, and the AMA supports areas that I don't currently participate in, however; I have found that my tastes change occasionally and I am glad that they are involved to protect all areas. If the dues increase to $75 then I would still support the AMA. I like the return on my investment...I just wish my taxes were spent half as efficiently.
