The other problem is that it doesn't appear it's anything but a revisit of the recall attempt in C44. We've already been lead by this group, before your time, and we still have "LOA 44", and "Love, Joe K" tattooed on our red a$$es in cigarette burns.
As far as this movement being based on anger, I have to completely agree with ACL. The poor communication at DALPA, combined with an almost universal dislike for Prater and anything that looks remotely like an administration of any kind rigth now, have left the field ripe for anyone old snake-oil salesman to get in.
Enter DPA.

Sink,
I gotta agree with you on all points here.
