Dear Ed, Thanks very much for your questions and for your posts and your strong feelings. Strong feelings are very appropriate - what is going on right now is as rotten as two week old fish. The people who are behind the maneuver against me went way out on a limb, and took others on the Board with them. Their actions are contrary to the By-laws, contrary to the Policies and Procedures, and contrary to the law of the State of New York. They apparently dug us soe "Parliamentarian" to agree with them and tell them what they were doing was ok, but it is not even close to ok - Parliamentarians really should know better than to give legal advice. I have discussed the situation with attorneys and parliamentarians, all of whom are aghast at the numerous errors which were committed by those wanting to "get" me. The only attorney who will even try to say otherwise is the one who was involved in this plan. I might add that they had tried previously to defeat me, to spread stories about me and to even get Hunte to come after me, and their prior attempts failed. It is no coincidence that the current effort is just before the election, ane that the timing of this notice which was send by Lew is no accident. They have wanted me off the Board for years. They will make excuses about how they are "not allowed" to discuss this publicly, which is baloney. They will try to say that Robert's Rules of Order allowed them to break the law. That is not even close to true, but it does help to show what is so very wrong in the GSDCA at the moment, that so many members of the Board of Directors do not seem to understand what they may and may not do, do not have the most basic understanding of fairness and due process. It will be curious to see how they defend themselves for coming after me because the Minutes were "late" (when they went out of their way to make them late), but did nothing about forgery of the signature of the President of the GSDCA by a Board member or of such apparently serious errors in the Hunte application process that Lew made a public apology. There are many other instances of "errors" which they chose to ignore, yet magnified perfectly explainable actions by me to then try to use it as a basis to take action against me that they had no right to take - to interfere with the rights of YOU - the Members. I do not intend to accept this illegal action. I tried to explain to these people that they were violating the law, because I really didn't want to escalate this mess further. They didn't listen, so now, please stay tuned for the other shoe to drop. Please feel free to contact me privately if you want to discuss in detail the outrage that is being attempted against the membership of the GSDCA by this group on the Board. They cannot remove me as Recording Secretary, and the fact that they are trying so hard, and just before my term would be up anyway, shows that this is not about the job I was doing, but about trying to prevent me from being re-elected. I am sure that most people will see through this lame attempt to discredit me, and not be fooled. It is disturbing that the clique on the Board things the membership is so easily manipulated. I am more than willing to discuss this, have done nothing wrong, have absolutely nothing to hide. I assure you there will be another chapter to this story - stay tuned for news.
