Thats basically what I said last year...

TRUTHFULLY THE TERM drama IS BEING WAY OVER USED. WHAT I HERE EVERYTIME IS SEE THE WORD IN A POST IS. "someone doesn't agree with me" IF I USE THE WORD "drama" THEY WILL CURL UP AND GO AWAY.

No one here has put down the current presidency for how they have ran things. I for one have said numerous times that they have done an amazing job. And shane mentioned he was not stepping down yet stepping aside.

Usually the presidency votes and decides on all decisions. We would like to give that power to paid members and have it be a majority vote. The president would still obviously be able to veto a decision if he felt it was not a good outcome even though majority said yes. It is not meant in no way to put down any of the current presidency or the members. This is of course reffering to your signature line

I like the idea of paid members making decisions on major items and such, it gives us a chance to be heard.  To me that is one of the important things in life.  A chance to be heard and recognized.  I agree that the current presidency has done a great job, the speakers and presentations have been outstanding and I have learned alot from all of them.  But as a new person into the club, I see things in a different light.  Some good, some bad. 

I have a question (even though I'm not a paid member I'm still curious) since this year there are two people running for president, what happens to the person that doesn't win??  Will they just completely lose and walk away as with any other run for presidency or will they just be thrown into the presidency as not the  president?

Ok, I'm going to say the thing that I shouldn't say...or does it matter which one wins??  Example if Jerry and Crystal win will Adam and Will be thrown in the presidency not as pres. and v.p. but if Adam and Will win then Jerry and Crystal are out??  Sorry to offend but just wondering...

(sorry Shane H.  I haven't changed much from last year...)

Interesting...especially the part where "unless appointed."  I realize the whole appointing thing but I just don't see Obama appointing McCain...
