then get rid of the oversized, overprice club house in muncie indiana, I know for one I will never get to use or see the place, like most people in AMA wont, so why should we pay for it ??
another thing a suggested is that they take a cut in pay(no responce on this one) I live on 10k a year, they could too, or atleast 15k a year at most, AMA is suppose to be a Habby, not a job.

So we should shut down the factories because our cars are to expensive. Or fire all the engineers because it cost too much to design better products.

hmmm lets see...

If someone has a hobby its because they enjoy it and its something they "want" to do. You dont "have" to do R/C aircraft, free flight, control line, scale and a dozen other AMA supported SIG's... do you? AND you dont have to be a AMA member... do you. But if you want ot fly at any responsible AMA sanctioned field you do. Is a $6-$10 increase too unreasonable price to pay to have the type of organization like the AMA? I dont think so. I would sacrifice one gallon of fuel or one roll of Mono-coat or one prop to keep it alive and stable.

RedKnight...(allthough I empathize with the though of having to live on a meager income) they havent raised your dues in 5 years. I'll bet there isnt anything that you have consumed in the last 5yrs that hasnt gone up in price by at least 10%...think about it.

I commend you for trying to use the available lines through AMA and hopefully they will extend help to your orginzation. If you are having problems in those areas and your district rep cant or wont help you then its time to use your vote and convince others elect a rep that will.
