So would their vote on that one single issue be some type of litmus test? Depending on their position it would be an up or down vote? Like it's not hard enough to find people to get involved (let alone the membership to actually vote). IMO, it's shortsighted to base a vote on one single issue. What if everything else they bring to the table is outstanding?

I do recall though, not in the to distant past, someone running for an AMA position being asked for his position on something. He struggled mightily to give a specific response, and was called out on it repeatedly. Took a few tries to finally give a definitive answer.
We as members deserve to know just what the plan is along with just how much they plane to spend. Let the members decide. After all it's our money and we elected them to represent us the members.
