[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1129965, member: 11246"] [b]All about due diligence.[/b] There is some truth to what the OP has stated. During the negotiating process a lot of members, myself included, wanted to know every step being made. I understand that it is probably not in our best interest to be told everything along the way. That said, I also understand that most people do not read contracts that they enter into. I understand that a good number of my brothers will only look at the dollar amount of the contract. This contract is so very important being that there is a huge change in our insurance. I am worried that we will not have the adequate amount of time to understand what out insurance will be. If we aren't given EVERY detail of the contract and health insurance, well ahead of the vote, we then loose the opportunity to talk with our brothers who aren't following the negotiations and fully understand what we are signing into. To me, its about having enough time to fully understand what we are agreeing to. 3 years ago I bought a new car. Had a deal worked out with a local dealer. They pushed and pushed for me to sign. We had agreed on price, trade in and interest rate. I refused to sign and took the numbers home. A little time and calculations and I found that I was actually paying more then the agreed upon price. Had I taken the deal and payments at the time I was in the show room, I would of ended up paying close to 2k more then what was negotiated. Its all in the details and having enough time to do one's due diligence. [/QUOTE]
