Bob,
I should have chosen my words more carefully.
Obviously, the vast majority of AMA members, 90%+, as evidenced by the percentage of AMA members who don't vote, could care less about the AMA and it's officers or programs, and therefore, my statement is in error.
However, I do remember getting an e-mail about the proposed PF program, because I wrote a two page reply expressing my opposition based on tiered dues and the AMA using its limited resources going after the Wal-Mart crowd instead of supporting the members of the AMA in the challenges that lay ahead, namely the FEDS, fields, etc.
I remember reading that the majority of responses received by the AMA were against the program; I guess I could look up where I read it but at this point it doesn't matter, now that Smith, et al, has put the program in place.
Anyway, sorry for the unfortunate choice of words, I guess I need to proof read a little better.
BRG,
Jon
I wasn't trying to nitpick between "all", "Life", or "leader" members. Just asking in general where the information came from. I'm heard that there was an email poll conducted, but I have yet to hear where the information came from that the response was overwhelmingly against formation of PPP. Actually, I would appreciate it if you could find where you read the information. So far the only thing I've been able to get is that someone heard it from someone who heard it from someone who is supposed to know. I'm not saying that your information isn't accurate, to the contrary, I really have no way of knowing at this point. I'd just like to figure out where it came from to know if it's real or just something that someone posted at some point that has been repeated enough times that it's now accepted as factual.
Again, nothing to be sorry for, as I wasn't trying to parse your words to that point. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
