[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 97517, member: 1335"] Fair enough with the cheerleading comments..... This brings up a valid concern that reasonable people have of the APWA. There is no track record to consider. When choosing two candidates in a political race, the candidates usually have a voting record...some way that we can predict how they will perform. In this instance we only have the ideas and directions that Eason and Skillman would like to take APWA. The charter describes much of this in writing, but there is no track record or "voting record". How could APWA satisfy this deficiency? To choose to not support because of this is a reasonable arguement, but this choice implies that you believe that the performance of the IBT is a better alternative which I would argue against. I believe that to support the APWA requires something that the IBT has massacred in its tenure as the agent......trust and integrity. Can we trust the two guys from North Carolina? How much planning and foresight have they put into this? Will they abuse the power if we give it to them? Can we believe the financial predictions they are providing? I think this is why its so important to attend the meetings in person. They pretty much repeat all the information thats on the website at their meetings, but more importantly, you get to learn who they are and what kind of integrity they would bring back to the union. I'll finish up by leadin us in a round of kum-bah-yah if you like.....:lol: [/QUOTE]
