Leanne, if the shoe was on the other foot and it were me, I would be very upset. I am still upset at the fact that i will never know if my votes will be counted since I was instructed to cross my name off the back of the envelope by emails from what seemed to be official emails. Then after the fact the official GSDCA email said cross off bar codes..............unfortunately I will never know nor have faith that mine and my husbands votes will even be counted or will they be invalid. It is ridiculous that our Canadian members can't even vote due to continued mistakes..........I could walk them up to you quicker from Florida than you are recieving them. By the way, did you ever recieve them last year ? And if so, how late were they ?
