They spend $10,000 out of their own pocket to be our elected officals, prove it, we pay sancation fees to have a event, we could have a event without those fees and make money. Our club dues is $15 per year and our home owners is the primary insurrer. If the elected officals spend their own money then AMA dues should be no more than $25 a year and they can keep the rag.
I have no intention of trying to prove anything to you. If you have genuine interest, pick up the phone and talk to your VP and see what he has to say about how much he spends.
What would you do for club insurance or landowner insurance? Your homeowners does not cover them. If you are an AMA member you can see where every penny is spent. Look at the financial statement. If you don't want to belong, don't. Simple, huh?

I agree, as I said in an earlier poste. The HQ and Museum have to exist somewhere. Whether we need the flying site is another matter.
