I'm trying to figure out how to say this without making it seem that I don't appreciate every single person who has joined the Legislative Members List. They are terrific and I'm grateful they stick with the Legislative list. Almost 1/2 of the clubs have had a member join. It isn't a heavy duty list, it seems to be more for receiving information, hopefully to be passed on to club members, with some active and interactive:-) I would go on bended knee for more news of legislative activity from club members, by the way. However, to what some are saying, it does appear that there is some reluctance on some clubs (or members in the club) to join with those Leg. members who would welcome their input and news of their activity. As far as I (capitalize that I!) am concerned, there are NO, NO politics in fighting bad legislation, and there are no sides, no cliques....nada. ANd it would be sad that there are those who choose to do something like that with this VERY VERY vital endeavor. This infighting DOES come up with legislative groups and clubs all reaching for the "WE ARE BEST" button, but I fight it in other clubs of that type to which I belong, and I would fight it VERY hard in the GSDCA Legislation Members Group I did not include other posts on this, so it can be forwarded with MY permission to wherever.
