By the way look at the home page of the MAAC web site and notice the line that says "Join because you want to!"

No MAAC member in Canada is attempting to discredit or interfere with the work done by the MAAC leadership. In fact on the forums I read there only seem to be the half dozen on RCU that are working hard to discredit and interfere with the process the AMA is working on.
The issue here in the US isn't one of discrediting or interfering. What's actually happening is that the AMA home office and executive committee are not being truthful and forthcoming with the members, not to mention being fiscally inept. For example, the FAA has recently published on their website that any R/C aircraft must be kept below 122 meters. The AMA is telling it's members that they can pretty much do what they want as the height limit isn't in effect due to something posted in a now superceded law from 3+ years ago. The office is telling members that everything is great, but not telling anyone except the government (due to forms that are mandatory) that the AMA is losing several thousand dollars per year. It's not a matter if interference or discrediting that you're reading, it's calling out a corrupt, wasteful and dishonest organization's officers and paid staff.
