Thank you, Bill; for being the only person in this state who has had THE GUTS to come out and say what you just did. Our biggest supposed "advocate" for atv issues in this state; is now in what amounts to near total disarray......with most ALL of these former members having been absolutely SILENT about this sudden turn of events.
Will they go to this weekend's "high security" and exclusive club meeting with some demands in their hands?........or will they all get there and just be thankful for the "fellowship of the moment" and that the club expensed out some cooked "wieners" for them all to suck on?

I have never met a more pitiful bunch of "yes-men" in my entire life.
People who have effectively set our atv program back at least 3 years and turned away COUNTLESS numbers of willing volunteers in the process.
Potential volunteers who would not be treated like they were second-class citizens and did not appreciate a bunch of fellow members jumping down their throats when the very issues that these members are now leaving over.............were "unthinkably" brought forward and shouted down (or simply BANNED).

Let's see how many of these people show up at the STATE orv board meeting and who has the ***** to tell these administrators what the hell has been going on for all this time and WHAT they want done about it.

Who's willing to take a bet right here that the "yes men" at that meeting outnumber anybody that ever quit that club over "procedure" or just average citizens who believe in holding our representatives accountable........... by 3 to 1?

Sorry, but we don't DESERVE any more than we have ever received in regards to atv-related issues here in Michigan. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

John,
your right, and I dont wanna hear anything from those that just sit on their a$$es and bitch to others,but dont attempt to at least go and have their voices heard in Lansing Mich.As you well know it,silence has virtually got us NO WHERE in this State in regards to advancing our ATV privelidges,and these ''yes men''that belong to a certain club here in Michigan shall soon see the dismay of their decisions to keep silent and just go with the exsisting program?

I dont doubt that your figures will be accurate either.

No YES MEN here!

Bill
