]If you reside in either AMA District II, IV, VI, or X then you must be either totally happy with AMA top-management and AMA itself because you contributed nothing -- that is ZERO -- to obtaining any change
YOU have actually forfeited your right to complain.

I don't feel like I have forfeited my right to complain. Just because I believe Charlie Bauer has done/is doing a good job in my district does not mean that I am happy with all the DVP's or things going on elsewhere within the AMA. You don't throw out the whole basket of apples just because there is a few bad ones in there. You pitch the bad ones and fill that space with more good ones.
You certainly have a right to feel however you wish. OTOH as I read the voting records, the actions taken, the meeting minutes, then observe the actions taken and more so the LACK of action taken, along with the results thereof, I firmly believe that a little competition in any election race makes for the incumbent to at least pay some attention to the membership. As of now such attention is NOT required.
I do not think any EC member is doing adequately to institute action to turn AMA away from what I perceive as currently a self-destruction course. What defines a "good job?" IMO,
anything less than Excellent, Outstanding, and/or Exceptional is simply below par. [:-]
In any district with an incumbent up for election,
there just must be at least one person who will allow his name to be placed on the ballot. It's up to the members to find one.
Nothing personal here against Charlie. I flew control-line with and against him for years back in Chicago-Land. We do have different opinions, and some like opinions. Charlie is a good guy to talk with, even though no opinions will probably change.
