Do you have any facts to back up that claim? If so, I want to hear your sources. You make up this bogus claim that National (excellent choice, stay vague in your made up conspiracies that way you can dodge around later) tried to end-run (what does that mean) the negotiating committee. Is that the same National that sends them help every week to assist in their negotiations? How was "National" (whoever that is) going to change the election process so that negotiators were not going to be elected by the reps, but instead appointed by some National officer?

Seriously, you made a charge here, do you have any facts, any shred of evidence, any direct conversations with anyone to back up that allegation? "I talked to my reps" is not an answer, that is a dodge. I want to hear specific facts and not made up conspiracies If not, then I understand why you have trust issues.

I read the Council 20 letter. A committee was formed at the direction of the Executive Council. They made a report. Then the governing structure will make a decision. There will be a vote. If the C+BL need to be changed then the entire Board of Directors will vote. That is democracy. Tell me what is wrong about that?
