Wow 35 voted yes, 25 voted no, 2 voted present.. Though that did not reach the "quorum: and we (petitioners) did not win, I certainly say that it dang sure speaks volumes to me. Especially when you consider that in any election including the presidential election, 50% won't even bother to vote. Says to me that the majority thinks we need help with the leadership.

I guess you are on a different volume. It says that 27% (35) - the minority favor an election at this time - contrary to our Guidelines and what the other members voted on by a majority as to be the Guidelines for Georgia. It says the majority - 73% (94) - do not favor a forced election in contrast to the Guidelines or don't want to be bothered by this foolishness but would much rather be left alone to do their web sites and the MAIN purpose we are supposed to be here for - not page police to other folks page but working diligently on our own sites. Data on county sites - as the National Bylaws require - not a bunch of links. I'm going to work on my sites - will you do the same?
