XRe Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 That sucks ass for a lot of reasons Realize, folks, that this means nothing changes as far as getting the Nationals dates sooner, or anything else... I like Mike V, but he stated quite plainly that nothing would change if he were re-elected. What I can't for the life of me fathom is how A4 didn't end up with a different AD.... I can only hope that Gary will continue to serve as an AD, and that he and Bruce can continue to represent me on the BOD, cause God knows my AD doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Like Dave, I am disappointed in the lack of change for the better. I feel very strongly that we need to have schedules much further in advance than we currently get. I don't feel like there is good communication at all, and I felt we had a chance to really improve things. 38% is pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I would like to congratulate all those who not only won, but who stepped up to the line and took a shot at being elected to a position of trust in the organization we all love so much. As I noted in a private e-mail to a friend, I never felt this election was about me personally. It was about someone who had an amount of experience and was willing to make a 100 percent committment to the sport. I will continue to serve USPSA in whatever manner is approptiate in the future. When I got up this morning I checked and the sun was still rising in the East and appears to be heading toward the West. That is the way it should be. Thanks again to all those who supported me in any way. I appreciate it more than you will ever know. All is well. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Congrats to the winners! I am afraid that 38% is pretty typical response to ALL elections in this country. A Czech friend of mine asked me why people don't vote (this was in 1991, 2 years after the Russians left his country). I still have no good answer. Or at least, no flattering answer. That said, I think the real reason for the poor turnout was Alan Meek and we should start a recall right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j2fast Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Poor enthusiasm ?Lack of interest ? Lack of common sense ? PICK ONE ... I'm afraid the answer might be all of the above......... It's seems that the folks like us here in BE'land that care about the sport are greatly outnumbered by those who consider the USPSA just another distraction from normal life and have no desire to contribute to it's well being.

Flexmoney Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I bring this up every time that people get to wondering why others don't vote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_ignorance I learned the concept as Rational Apathy...which seems a better term than ignorance. The basic premise is that things don't suck enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRNinTX Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I too would like to thank all of those that supported me. I called Ken this morning and told him I would be willing to help in any way and that I appreciated his service. We here on this forum live in a much smaller community than I imagined.

Ron Ankeny Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I voted, but not voting is also a right I can exercise. I discussed the election with some of my shooting friends and most of them aren't well versed in USPSA politics. For many, not voting is a way of allowing those who really care to decide. Thousands of recreational USPSA shooters chose not to influence the election by casting an uniformed vote through ignorance. That's just the way it works. Not saying anyone has to like it, but it is reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
