The Truth for Those Who Want It
I have seen Joan Fox's letter "Use Your Vote Wisely," and I could not
agree more. Please read her letter through at least twice it is long,
because there is a lot there to understand. There are strange and creepy
things that have been going on in our Club for quite a long time. The
difference is that now you know more about it than used to be true. It
used to be that these were done in secret, and that the members often did
not know what happened.
However, once the electronic age was born, it became much more possible
for members to be in contact, and to have much more current news.
Showgsd-l came into being, and suddenly it was possible for everyone to have
live or almost live information. Information could be posted from the
Board meetings, and you will no doubt recall that some members came to the
Board meetings and took notes, and posted them to the List the same day.
Those within the Board who didn't like the light of day shining on their
plots and conspiracies worked very hard to shut off the flow of
information. They passed rules prohibiting people from posting from Board
meetings. They did (and still do) do everything they can to interfere
with the functioning of the List. They hold closed sessions and work hard
at gagging Board members, to keep them from talking about what they know.
What is Going On With Me
For those who don't know what happened to me: my husband got very ill,
had to have several major surgeries unexpectedly. The first of those was a
quadruple cardiac bypass. All of this came as a total surprise, and in
addition to my being there for him during and after the surgery (and I
literally had to feed him and take care of him once he was discharged from
the hospital each time), all the work of our practice landed on me as well.
Not surprisingly, all that was going on concerning the Club dropped down
the list of priorities, my first and only thought for a long time was
Stuart, and second was my law practice. I was told by the Cardiologist
that, given the facts as they existed, it was a miracle he was alive. I
was so totally swamped by this that I just did not have the time to keep
on the front burner my lawsuit to combat the battle that was being waged
against me by "them," those people who I describe in the lawsuit. The
lawsuit is not over,
and will not be over until justice results.
Now that we have yet another ugly election period, I decided to sit here in
the middle of the night and to clarify some things:
1 The lawsuit is not over, and despite the lies that have been told,
NONE OF THE DEFENDANTS were vindicated. The Defendants used as part of
their defense strategy a claim that the suit should not have been filed in
Florida, that the State of Florida did not have jurisdiction over the
dispute and the causes of action. The judge assigned to the case is a
relatively new judge, and has a background in family law. She did not seem
to understand the jurisdiction issue, and Florida law, which DOES allow
the case to be filed here, so made what I am sure was the wrong ruling.
Accordingly, I appealed. The appeal is still pending, has been for a long
time, which I and others consider a very favorable indication that the
appeals court WILL OVERRULE the incorrect ruling of the judge and will
allow Florida to take jurisdiction. However, that is the ONLY issue that
has even been before the judge. " the bad conduct I discuss in my
Complaint has not yet gotten to be heard at all. However, even if this
does not happen, my causes of action remain open, and I am free to re-file
the case in New York, AGAINST ALL
DEFENDANTS, and will do so. I have been waiting only to see what the
outcome of the appeal is. I expect to win it, and to continue on in
Florida, but if not, I WILL refile in New York, and the people who think
they are off the hook will be right back in court. It is not that I wanted
to sue the Club. Tthere was no other choice. It is that I want the
INDIVIDUALS who did wrong in the Club's name to be held accountable, and
since they used the Club's name to do it, the Club is a necessary party.
2 I DID NOT QUIT OR RESIGN. I renewed my membership, as I have done
every year for many years. I have the receipt to prove it. Interestingly,
the claim was made that it was "never received." This is not true. it was
done to try to get rid of me, similar to the shenanigans that were designed
to get rid of Joan. However, I am not gone, and have no intention of
going anywhere. While they may thing they have excluded me from the Club
with the bogus norenewal issue, I am quite certain that a court of law
will deal with that, whether it is a Florida court or a New York court.
3 Due to my husband's condition, attending Board meetings would have been
difficult. However, since I NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE MEETING NOTICE,
although I was and still am the duly elected Recording Secretary, I did not
know where they were, and with all else that was going on, there was no
practical way to plan on attending. It is humorous how the Minutes of each
of the meetings note that I was not present, and that I gave no notice that
I would not be present, although they are well aware that I was not GIVEN
notice of when or where the meetings would be. I wonder if those same
Minutes note when the current President is not present and as I understand
it, has
given no notice that SHE would not be present yet has disappeared from
attendance and from her Club responsibilities? "They" had gone out of
their way to make the very difficult Recording Secretary job virtually
impossible to do properly, and I understand that
others have had difficulty filling in also. There is no good reason why
the job should be so difficult or unpleasant, and in fact, just before my
husband's illness, I had been working on some really great new
technological approaches that would have put streaming audio of the Board
meetings on the Club web site within 48 hours of each Board meeting, so
you could all hear for yourselves anything that was of interest. Needless
to say, "they" did not like that, and took measures to interfere with
getting it done.
I am still here. I am still an administrator of Showgsd-l, although, due
to the personal situation that has been going on here that I described, I
have not been able to put the time in as I used to do. It is impossible
to describe how many countless hours of time and work are and have been
involved in keeping the List going. I do intend to resume some share of
the responsibilities in the near future.
Please, before you cast your votes this year, look around you, read Joan's
letter, read my Complaint if you have not, so that you can understand what
is happening in your Club. YOU have the power to stop it. YOU have the
power to take control away from the people who are doing this to you, to
our Club, to our Breed. In fact, no one BUT you can get rid of these
people.
Clearly the AKC is not going to. They do nothing now, just as they did
nothing when that group completely perverted the bylaws and rules of the
Club where I was concerned. It is easy for them to say the membership can
vote the people out if they don't like what they are doing.
That is true. You CAN vote them out, and I hope you WILL vote them out.
Although I am a member of Showgsd-l, I am sending this to Zoe and asking
her to post it for me, because my email will not be able to handle any
quantity of replies. I really appreciate all the people who have stood by
me, had faith in me and supported me, knowing or believing that the things
being said about me by "them" were lies. Please know that the battle
continues, and that I am determined to see to it that the people who did
wrong to the GSDCA in their improper actions against me pay for what they
did.
However, YOU can see to it that it does not happen again by VOTING THEM
OUT. Don't be complacent, and don't be fooled. Return the GSDCA to what
it is supposed to be, what it has always been, GET RID OF THE
CONSPIRATORS.
Best always,
Margery Golant
Recording Secretary, GSDCA
