I agree that it is time for letters to the board. It no longer matter who voted how. They need to hear from each one of us who are gsdca members. But first we need to be united in our message. I like what Evan started with, he used the word "promote", I think that is a key word here. Handlers who buy and sell do not promote commercial buying and selling of dogs. They are safe, the biggest concern. And the breeders of greater quantity are safe too, as they do not promote reselling of their dogs either. And those who at one time or another worked in pet stores, which was the beginning of their love for dogs and our breed would also be safe. But I think it needs more. The board need to be certain that they can remove from the roster those who become damaging to the breed in as big a way has Hunte seems to be. What do you think? Once we have a unified message, we can present it to the entire board, from each one of us, with our member numbers on our letters. I think email is just fine here as long as we stand together. Then one of the board members who voted no can tell us how many letters are received, this will be important. Additionally we should encourage members who are not on this list to send the same letters. When the words are repeated over and over and the numbers reach a majority of the members, then we will be able to elicit the changes we need. So, our next move needs to be to clarify the message we want to send. sheila --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
