Message Line

The list of candidates can be found under the MEC Special Message Line dated 12 Feb 09.

FWIW, there was a recall petition circulated over one year ago to recall DW and DM. Why DM? It was obvious (to some) he was going to be the next MEC Chairman......

We can keep the status quo or try something different. I do not have faith in our Block Reps to elect someone not in the current inner circle.

We can be certain that they will not elect someone who is not running.

SS is a smart, straight forward, stand up guy. I also believe he'd be a great MEC Chairman, and a pretty clean break from the past. I'm glad to see him throw his hat in the ring. If you feel the same, let your Rep know.

Or, if you really like the last couple of years let your Rep know that too because there's another choice. Either way, if you care, let your Rep know.

While that is obviously true from a technical standpoint, sometimes there are others who are willing to run, but only if they are assured of getting the votes. They keep their candidacy quiet until they area successful at horse-trading enough votes and then pop-in at the last minute for the win. Not much chance for the peanut gallery to comment in those situations.

However you feel, you owe it to everyone to let your block rep know your position on this. We will either get DW's protege' or new blood. If you feel strongly one way or the other, let your voice be heard.

Wonder if there are any additions to the mix here. Seems like a long time since we've heard something on a very important subject..

I hope all who wish to run throw their hat in the ring. I will echo the statements of many here, while the MEC votes for the officers, it should be your duty to let your Reps (or all the reps for that matter) know who you wish to hold our officer positions.
