You must not know Tish Walker very well to even suggest even the "appearance" of an abuse of power!!! Before this type of discussion starts on the List I would suggest you ask Tish herself. There has never been a time that Tish Walker does not respond to anything she is asked. It sure seems a lot more simple than this type of rhetoric against ANY fellow member of the GSDCA, inc.

If one candidate was able to use his own name/address on the bottom then ALL candidates had that same ability. Gary chose to use his own name and address. Tish CHOSE to use the name of the GSDCA with her Spotsylvania address. The implication of GSDCA endorsement on any candidate's mailing is, in my opinion, unethical. It is even worse when that candidate is a current officer; it lends the appearance of abuse of power.

The question I have is why does Tish Walker's emailing have the GSDCA as the sender? Is the GSDCA endorsing her candidacy for president? German Shepherd Dog Club of America | 10407 Springwood Drive | Spotsylvania | VA | 22553 If you notice below in Gary Szymczak's bio, Gary is the sender. Is this something that candidates have to pay for? In my opinion this election should hold to a level playing field. Giving the illusion the GSDCA is backing your candidacy is NOT a level playing field in my opinion.
