RE: AMA Video scheme
The AMA is fine. The marketing ploy is not. The only way I can act against the AMA or anyone else's policies/actions that I don't like is with my wallet. People in Muncie may not worry about 1 person not renewing membership, but I guarantee I'm not the only person who found their strategy irritating. This is just not a classy way to market your stuff.
I'm desperately sorry you have to pay taxes.
