I have read all of the posts and threads about the AMA, made a few posts and pondered over all said.
I have discovered that the following seems to be the gist of it all:
1.I can't read so don't want the magazine ...Donate it to your public library..it might attract new folks.
2.Was not around when we had less than ten frequencies for RC use. AMA was major player in getting the ones you now have!
3.What has the AMA done for ME, ME, ME!!
4. If I continue to ***** here will it change anything? Maybe, but working WITH the AMA and it's reps might.
5.AMA won't answer ME, ask someone else at Hq.giving up is easy.
6.I don't have all the facts but I'm going to ***** anyway,....maybe no one will notice.
7.I don't understand Non-profit organization and can't figure out that they are required by law to send out reports to the members.Oh damn, thats the magazine. (A mag and a separate report might require a dues increase)
8.What has the AMA done for ME ME ME ME! Provide you with very low cost insurance. OH now wait... not all of us have homeowners insurance. We are dead beats, we are not married, we are students, the list goes on..... But wait I forgot about the ME factor!
9.AMA has a new office complex and I will never see/use it. That is your choice. You will probably never see the inside of the White House but you are still paying for it.
10.I don't know about all of the programs for Youth and assistance for school programs. At a nominal cost and effort on your part you can make a difference, with the help of AMA, in enriching a child's life. But let me ***** anyway!
11.I have a business that is directly related to model aviation. But let ME see if I can tear down the the organization that actively promotes the Shows and Expositions where my products are advertised/sold.
The list goes on.....
It's late and I am sleepy, I will agree that the AMA has it's faults and problems. If you nay sayers out there think you can change anything on this site I wish you good luck. If anyone of you with enough balls to make an effort to make that change I will support your efforts.
This was not to offend anyone and if I did ...point well taken,I hope!
