So we have number. Has the AMA historically released membership numbers every year? Is this data point wanted now because it hasn't been available down to the exact member before. I honestly don't get the drive to have a more specific number. Does it change anything that's going on now? if in a year or two the membership plummets, that's a different story no?

Do you feel as though the AMA must release information about lawsuits filed against the organization? 'm not asking to be argumentative, I swear, I just don't get the idea about needing that number. Does that change anything that is going on now?

Again, I don't know if they need to or have to disclose the data, but I would guess one place to start asking is the VP level.
