I think you are exactly right and I knew what she meant. It didn't need 27 e-mail follow-ups. For those in Rio Linda, Molly meant people w/ no interest in the GSD joining or being sponsored to vote as a block the way their sponsor requests. Easy when the membership is $36. And yes, it happens and yes, some breed clubs have inserted provisions in their application to try and prevent it.

I think I know what Molly is implying (and here I go, speaking for Molly⦠big wrist slap). There are those who may ONLY join a club to oppose some aspect for what the club stands. It could be to support a buddy that wants a certain judge to be judging the National. Or it could be wanting the Club to adhere to the FICI rules about Breeder Wardens⦠or whatever. Those people are not joining because they have some desire to conform to the GSDCA positions as they now stand. They want to force an issue in which they donât have any real stake. Of course, I may be totally wrong. Been there, done that.
