Robert,
As I said in my first post in this thread......I will not debate my decision to vote "NO". Everything that can be said about the subject has already been said. There is no need to repeat it in this thread. If this does not pass, I'm sure there will be a LOT more to be said & I can understand that, because you & others feel strongly about your cause & I respect that. Also, this issue & the slabbing issue are different. So, even though you want to lump them together in your post to me one has nothing to do with the other. I will tell you why I voted the way I did & then if you choose to reply, just do so knowing I will not respond. I have been on the fence with this issue since it first came up. I did not make up my mind until this last Friday. I feel that no matter how the vote turns out we WILL lose members either way. If it does pass, we lose members we ALREADY have in the International! If it does not pass we lose potential members for the most part. I would rather keep the members we ALREADY have. The sad part is that however it does turn out, there will be people upset at the final outcome...........Andy - Las Vegas
