That is clear to everyone, but the MEC bureaucracy disagrees with you. They're happy with things just as they are and could care less what you or your rep thinks.
As has been said here many times, recalling reps accomplishes nothing. That is because the MEC bureaucracy and national bureaucracy is permanent, you and your reps are not. Your opinion to them is meaningless unless you're telling them how much you agree with them.

This is spot on. Bringing up this idea of DPA members banding together and recalling reps looks to me like just another way to try and divert the discussion away from the real issues.
