Couple good points above...

AMA is needed.

YOu cannot make everyone happy. I know this one right here from RCU...14,000+ members and every decision I make never makes them all happy.

Dave Brown who I've met seems like a very nice guy. My gut feeling is he's trying to run things as best as he can.

With all that said I still only have the small issues of full disclosure of their books for those who want to see them. Option of not receiving the magazine and getting it online to cut annual fee to those who wish to do so (it used to be this way remember and it was done away with). Last there are some things coming that I wholeheartedly do not agree with the AMA engaging in but cannot discuss at this time.

Easytiger - just curious and please don't take this the wrong way but do you know what the breakout of insurance premiums and magazine printing/mailing cost is as a part of the $58 premium? You seem to claim to know more of the facts on the AMA than the guys here so that is why I'm asking you.
