Lynda says, at the end of a list of assumptions: "I'm just saying we need to have an understanding of the fears and concerns our BOD may be dealing with if, as you say, some are preferring not to participate because of fear of reprisal. *************************************************************************** Lynda: For some on the board, their fears and concerns contributed to the mess we are in now. For o thers on the board who voted yes, their motives were not based on fear or concern. The entire board knew this vote was comming about as far back as March of '06. As far as fear of reprisal is concer ned, what do you think is going to happen at the next election if Hunte is not removed. ************************************************************************** "So, let's offer some real, tangible support". ************************************************************************ The support is there! They are covered by the Club insurance. And, they have all of the support of the members who want Hunte out! ************************************************************************** "These people are volunteers, don't forget, and this is definitely a trying time for each and every one of them I'm sure. **************************************************************************** Like it's not a trying time for the general membership, who are made to look like Hunte's stooges! It's not a trying time, for those who are fighting to salvage the credibility of our Club with breed clubs all over the country! It's trying times when those who are willing, stand tall! **************************************************************************** And just to add a little more support for thoseboard members who may be failing; if Hunte sues the Club, or if he wants to be so petty, sues the board members individually, then he opens himself and his corporation up to scrutiny. Do you really think that Hunte would want his puppy mill operations ,"clean" incinerator and "high class staff" open for public review and disclosure? I think it's called pre-trial discovery and I doubt if he would want any part of it. Plus, I think that other breed clubs may come to our support, one way or another. So Lynda. If the "volunteers" have a problem doing what the menbership is shouting loud and clear, maybe they will volunteer to resign. Then perhaps,some other more dedicated volunteers will run for office knowing that we (the general membership) are not really sheep. Thanks for listening.
