Re: [Killietalk] Improving the AKA

["J. C." <hillbillynursery at yahoo_com>]

 I am sorry for the original line that caused the
uproar. But it was because everyone kept saying you do
not need the F&E just go to a meeting after I said
several times I can not do such a thing. It is like
telling a homeless person to buy a mansion it is just
not possible. It made since when it was in the whole
thread but I am sorry if it upset anyone.

 I do not feel I am speaking for 25 out of a 1000. I
think alot more people are wondering where the fish
are that should be listed in the F&E. I also think
alot more than 25 want more communication with the
BOT. The thing is the BOT can do nothing about the F&E
list not being used. That is something the members
have to do. I do believe to many members have grown
used to local club auctions where fish are plentiful
and think the F&E is not needed but they are not
thinking about all the AKA members. I need the F&E
like they need the box exchanges between clubs. How
many want more box exchanges? It sure was not me and I
do not think Ken Combs mentioned them as many of you
think he is radical because he is so out spoken for
change. 

 I hate using examples like the germany one but if a
few blacks did not stand up they would still not be
allowed in alot of restraunts or in the normal
schools. Many of the blacks had the same ideas that
things needed to change but how many of them put their
lives on the line to get that change. The number of
blacks in the population compared to the number of
blacks that made a difference is extremely low. 

  I know who I voted for during the BOT elections. But
how do I truely know they are voting the way I want
them to since I have not seen one vote result sheet on
any thing that has went before the BOT since August
when I joined. The last BNL had no statements of
anything even being passed or denied. So was there
anything voted on at all in the last couple
months(Larry since you are listening)? We get reports
that tell us which way our senators and congressmen
vote on the topics so that we know them by the fruit
they bare. They can say anything when they are
campaigning but how they vote makes a big difference
in whether I vote for them again or not. I know alot
of this voting stuff is kind of stupid but since it is
a NFP group it has to follow the rules. I know with
the church we had to legally vote to pay the bank
payment each month. We voted as a church to take out
the loan and build on so to me it is stupid but our by
laws said all expenses of the church had to be voted
on each month. I can say we never did take a vote to
pay the bill but that was against our by laws. 

 Now lets get back on track. This is what does the AKA
as a group need to do to better serve you? I stated
what my problems are now you state yours. No group is
perfect so do not say you have nothing to improve.
