Boy this is going to get me flamed, but the vote was taken, all NSRCA members 
had a chance to vote, if some don't care enough to vote then why should we 
care about what they think of the results of the vote?   We can't get enough 
"volunteer labor" to do what needs to be done, why waste time trying to get 
people to vote who are not interested enough to do so on their own.  There 
are a few who make this thing (NSRCA) go, we don't need to waste their time 
holding the hands of those who CHOSE not to vote.  If you don't vote, you 
agree, by default, to let those who do vote make the decisions for you, it's 
that simple.

Flame on
