Well, the local level complaint is a tough one. Although I completely agree they SHOULD be more active on the local level helping the clubs of each state with any legal issues that may arise against county local or state government. The AMA has long stated they do not get involved on the local level. So, though I would like o see it and welcome it, I cannot blame them for not doing something theynever said they would.
I also agree that I think they could/should be a stronge rlobby on the federal level that they are. Big Tobacco, big oil, why not Big R/C? seriousley though.... we have the money, why not use it to work with and help steer our state and federal officials in the direction we need them just like any other special interest group or lobby.

Again, I am in no way complaining about the AMA. I am just speaking of what I would like them to do in the future,I have no issue with the AMA. They have NEVER not done anything they said they would. I find that people who dislike the AMA are upset that they don't do this or that instead of realizing that the AMA delivers everything they promise.
