No one cares about yours either then since, as a Canadian, you have no say as to what happens in this country just like I don't in Canada. Then again, you have the right, apparently, to get traffic tickets in the US and not pay them since, in Washington State alone, there are outstanding traffic tickets, written to Canadian offenders, totaling several million US dollars



When you pontificate that all members are being taken advantage of and their money being mishandled who gave you the authority to speak on their behalf. How did you come to represent the views of the membership when you yourself are not a member?
I gave me the authority since most don't give a damn about what is being done in Muncie. If they did, the officer's election last year would have had more than 30% participation



If there were anything illegal I am sure guys like Franklin would be all over it like a hobo on a ham sandwich.
He is all over it, like an F-18 pilot on an attack run





I believe your constitution delves into rights not privileges. You might want to look up the difference on Google.

Rights are yours by birth and even they can be removed. Martial Law suspends certain rights and the right to bare arms is suspended for felons.
My right of freedom of speech says I have the right to call out the AMA officers and staff as much as I want.



On the other hand privileges such as driving a car, flying a full size plane, flying models etc. are all privileges and can be suspended/changed without infringing on any of your rights.
The privileges you listed all require a license to do, except for the model planes. A license can be revoked for failure to follow the laws, not arbitrarily taken away without cause



Last post on the subject!!!!!!!

This is what I see happening (my opinion only) The FAA comes out with a baseline set of rules for everyone. (this is the simplest way to get things done, no multiple categories).

The FAA reserves the right to grant waivers to the general rules. Remember this is a privilege not a right. The AMA petitions the FAA for a waiver for its members only. This waiver is granted after the FAA and AMA agree on mode and area of operations.

Results are simple, except for AMA members all others will have to adhere to the baseline set of rules or be in violation and be held accountable. Being an AMA member is not a free ride either. If you operate outside of the AMA guidelines you to will have to follow the baseline rules.



Let’s see how close my opinion is to the final draft.
