Buzzer. AAA is a federation of affiliated automobile clubs. Each AAA club is an independent, not-for-profit organization, chartered and incorporated in its own state and controlled by its own board of directors.

The AMA and AAA are very much alike. Also, we as the members do not OWN the AMA. The AMA is a membership organization, just like AAA. The only reason that there are DVP's and VP's and an elected President by the AMA members is because the Board of Directors have decided to make it that way. They do this, like you say, for the better good of the AMA but still at the end of the day the member DO NOT own the AMA. You have the right to ask questions, but you don't have the right to demand them, a huge difference. You're membership card is not a stock certificate, so don't think of it like it is.

Now don't get them the wrong way, the AMA wants you to think you are a big part of the AMA, well because you are. Just don't think that it makes you get what you want when you want it. If you want to create your own AMA, go for it! Heck if it gets any worst then it is, maybe I'll consider creating a bigger and better one, anyone want to join me? Heck how hard could it be anyway?
