Well Hoss I'll give you one more before I let you go.

Well Hoss, I was just informed that the USPS needs a copy and must have on file EACH year the same independent auditors report which we all see on the AMA's website to be eligible for the discount. Furthermore the financial statements, 501c3 tax status along with the application are reviewed by the USPS Pricing and Classification Service Center each and every year. Furthermore the PCSC makes the determination for discount based on the criteria of the application and the financial statements what you discount will be based on THEIR MATH, not yours.

Also the AMA qualifies for the discount by a longshot. Furthermore the publication can have as much as 75% advertisements which must be in line with the content of the publication and the members who receive the data. Meaning you can advertise McDonalds, but the bulk of the ads need to fit the shoe. Oh financial institutions ad are big no-no's and it's pretty easy to understand why. Furthermore the publication can be part of unrelated business under the umbrella of the NFP, but I'm sure you already figured that one out. And of course the AMA can charge whatever the market bears for advertising rates. So your theory of AMA keeping rates low doesn't come from the USPS . Of course there are dozens of other reasons why the AMA qualified for these rates, but that's information the AMA already knows, so we'll leave the t's and i's up to them.

So good luck with your whistle blowing, they already have the data. Unless you know of some kind of ... secret data??
