Hi With my apologies I have been out for a couple of days , we had a scare with Kaitlyn,...she's ok..pretty much...but I digress Really guys...if some GSD site obscure, gets to "host " questions for general consumption, and that in reality many of us do not visit, ever...then why not OUR website, or say Marhaven's or Karizma's or Garter's or Candia's or any number of sites? Why is GSDCA business being hashed over in venues that are NON exclusive of a membership? Why do we pay a membership , if we can get all the info etc for elections on any random site? Why are candidates being called out , and queried on GSD list -type sites..not exclusive to members and not INCLUSIVE of all or the candidates??? Why are the questions, not made EXCLUSIVE to the GSDCA site, for Members Only....because, ostensibly it is the MEMBERS THAT ELECT the BOD... We have candidates that are not affiliated with ANY list. We have some obscure third party, site, hosting candidate questions . Now why is this? I would like to see NO politicking on ANY list, and no questions mandated on some esoteric site. I furthermore, wold like to know why some people are calling out candidates as to their lack of answers... esp if the candidates are non political, non affiliated and NOT members of any list... Stop the politicking...or make the questions and answers available to all of us...I am quite sure I would have NO problem getting our elections to a WORLDWIDE audience if need be... afterall..if one person gets to have it on their non members only site ...then why not ALL OF US, WHY NOT THE REST OF THE WORLD? Oh yeah that's right, because it is supposed to be CLUB business...duhhhh forgot that...many did , apparently. Kathy http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com PUP-DATED: AUGUST 15, 2009 Home of: CH.
