To make it an even playing field, all nominees should have access to the membership list without charge. I appreciate the emails so I can hope to make an educated decision. I sure don't depend on the little bios that come with the ballots. OTOH, if a member wants access to the mailing list for personal or especially financial gain, they should pay a fee. I like that idea, but then the rich folk could afford to send a mailer out to everyone. Or maybe just a letter with $100.00 in it. Or, how about a free plane ticket to the national? What if they sent you a gift certificate for a free tank of gas? Or a year's supply of flea and tick powder? I think we might make the elections even more interesting. Some would vote in return for the gifts and some would vote against the person for trying to buy their vote. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
