red, bill, and j-r,
i have had and still do have a lot of respect for you gentlemen, however i feel that this needs to be discussed on the campaine trail and not in this forum where we only hear on side of the story.
we must all remember that we are a democratic society surronded by god fearing men and women. and no man should have to stand under the gun thay mr. mcneil has done over the last few days, so mr stillman and me mcneil i ask that we present this when the election time arrives, i have met mr. stillman and mr mcneil and i think they are both capable to present their cases without any help from outsiders wanting in.

Denis - this is why Marc set up the AMA forum - to discuss AMA issues. Mr. McNiell is an issue. The forum is open to all to express their opinions. Where else would you suggest it be done? Only Mr. McNeill has his column in MA as a platform and a budget to travel in the district, send out letters etc. I agree however that both Mr. McNeill and Mr. Stillman are capable of presenting their cases. So far - and this goes back for the past two elections, only the challenger is has been heard from with any material of substance with the incumbent setting smugly on his pedestal knowing he can't be touched :bananahea . . . but that pedestal is getting a bit unstable as we "outsiders" continue to rock it.
If your reference to "outsiders" was meant to mean those not under Mr. McNeill in District V I would like to remind you that any actions or motions he makes as an EC member and should they be passed (heaven forbid) ALL AMA members will be impacted just as much as the members in district V. Only we will have the burden of having sent him to Muncie. For that we should beg their continued forgiveness! :cry:
