Weight is not the issue!

[Michael H Lance]

I've always echoed what my Dad told me; "If you don't have the time to
vote then I don't have the time to hear how you think the voters screwed
up."

In relation to my and Tom's previous post, I am of the belief and am
sure that everyone would like to see a majority of our members express
their position on rules change issues. With that in mind I believe that
NSRCA should devise a plan that might improve voter response to the
issues. This could possibly be accomplished by having a district
repersentative assigned to get out the vote and having that
repersentative assign local people to try to get each member that is
assigned to him to vote. everyone will benefit if we could achieve a
majority concensus from the entire membership. we go to great length's
to define the changes required which should be considered but I think we
could do more in the area of getting more people to vote.
This will minimize the on going discussion of the so called dead horse
issues. Many people are not comfortable when 20% of the whole are making
the decissions, because no matter why the 80% did not vote it cannot be
deturmined what the and majority concinsus is.
NSRCA is for the members by the members and if the real reason that 80%
did not  vote is that they were just not interested then this indicates
to me that our membership will continue to decline. I really don't think
that is the case, So what can we do to improve the situitation?

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
