[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3747195, member: 14176"] Oh, I see now....??? It's only a "mandate from the members" at these lower participation levels, if it is a majority yes vote for ratification of a contract proposal??? Doesn't Article 12 of the IBT Constitution validate my assertion??? There is another way to look at this, and I didn't have the revelation until recently when thinking about the last POTUS election. I went to the poles with my mind made up that day, dead set to cast my vote for several candidates and on several issues, but when I got into the ballot booth I soon realized that there were a couple races and issues that I wasn't prepared to vote on. At that instant I had a decision to make, to just "pop-a-shot" my vote, or to abstain and leave that box blank. I decided that it was best not to vote, as to not dilute the votes of those who came prepared. While I implore everyone to educate themselves and to vote, maybe just maybe, some of them are doing the best thing for all by not voting??? ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
