It's called nitpicking. Bob Neiman / Walled Lake, Mich.

There is no question that the GSDCA is backing Tish's candidacy for president. They said as much when they nominated her for the position. As to the constant contact emails: Gary obviously created his own account and used his own membership list to email everyone, hence his address at the bottom of the email. I have no idea if he purchased his list from the club or not. Tish had to have used the constant contact account for the GSDCA, hence that address at the bottom of the email. Regardless, to call her action an "abuse of power" is exactly the kind of seditious commentary that needlessly stirs imaginary controversy, and draws attention away from the task at hand; namely The German Shepherd Dog. Yes, I know and like Tish very much. Yes, I know and like Gary as well. However this ends up, I am sure the club will be led by the most qualified candidate. In the meantime, can we please stop poking the lion? I would really like to know more about Shepherd greats from the past, and who is bidding on whom for GV and GVX. Tell me about how your breeding program came to be. Share what you hope to accomplish with your dogs. But please - PLEASE - enough of the politicking and snide remarks. A fed-up Becky T.

If one candidate was able to use his own name/address on the bottom then ALL candidates had that same ability. Gary chose to use his own name and address. Tish CHOSE to use the name of the GSDCA with her Spotsylvania address. The implication of GSDCA endorsement on any candidate's mailing is, in my opinion, unethical. It is even worse when that candidate is a current officer; it lends the appearance of abuse of power.
