The Truth for Those Who Want It
I have seen Joan Foxâ??s letter â??Use Your Vote Wiselyâ??, and I could not
agree more. Please read her letter through at least twice â?? 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 didnâ??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 â??closed sessionsâ??, 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 donâ??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 â?? 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
â??them
â?? â?? 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 â?? 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 â?? 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
â?? there was no other choice. It is that I want the INDIVIDUALS who did
wrong in the Clubâ??s name to be held accountable, and since they used the
Clubâ??
s name to do it, the Club is a necessary party.
2 â?? 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 â??never receivedâ??. This is not true â?? 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 â??nonrenewalâ?? 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 â?? Due to my husbandâ??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 responsibilitiesâ?¦..
â??Theyâ?? 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 husbandâ??
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, â??theyâ?? 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 Joanâ??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 â?? 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 â?? 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 â??the membership can
vote the people out if they donâ??t like what they are doingâ??. That is true
â??
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 â??themâ?? 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.
Donâ??
t be complacent, and donâ??t be fooled. Return the GSDCA to what it is
supposed to be, what it has always been â?? GET RID OF THE CONSPIRATORS.
Best always,
Margery Golant
Recording Secretary, GSDCA
