Hi Kathy My statement was NOT regarding moving the National! it had everything to do with what was posted about the motion Frank & Gary did! So lets keep the facts seperate. I know the California crowd is angry about this entire National mess, and I don't blame you! I really try and be fair and objective. Yes, I live in the Midwest, and Topeka was a shock, even to us Kansas City folks!!!! If you read earlier posts of mine, I have been to many many many Nationals over the years, and WILL continue to do so! And for whatever it's worth, I am signing a petition to keep the 2012 National in Colorado, I don't agree with breaking another contract and think it's a great site and the only fair way to do the Nationals!

This is in the P and P. By having the Nationals now in a Central , Central , East location for the next three years, which basically shuts out any participation by members in the Western states, it is a direct violation of the P and P . and THAT is a fact. As far as inciting the masses...that IS a right when something like what I have stated above, has come to pass. You live in the Central US, correct Chris? Kansas City area? So you are about 1 Hour and 20 minutes from the Topeka site, and about 4 hours from the St Louis site. Well you must be very happy then to have TWO nationals back to back within close driving distance... The last time we were that close to one was in 1999. I can see why you don't want anyone rocking the boat. Don't blame you. Kathy http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com UPDATED: Jan 26, 2011 Home of: CH. Elvaston's Nations Cup TC, 26 BOBs CH.
