I am sorry you view me as a chronic complainer, but I intend to continue to 
speak out when I see something that is wrong no matter what the national 
leadership thinks.  The truth is that the national views anyone as a chronic 
complainer who dares voice any kind of disagreement with its policies no 
matter how miner.  
I once did a lot of work for the national only to have it blow up in my face. 
 In 1991, the national and the La. leadership didn't mind using this chronic 
complainer's broadcast contacts to gain valuable air time they otherwise 
would not have had.  Everything was great then.  But when I make my views 
known that's a different thing.
Denise Mackenstadt is just a sheep, a national wind-up toy, a robot, a kiss 
ass!  She and others like her are the ones who don't have a life because if 
they didn't have others in the national leadership to do their thinking for 
them they would not have a life.  
A lot of people are spending a lot of money to attend these conventions to 
have input.  I never said that everyone can be heard on every issue; that was 
your distortion of what I said.  But we should have a reasonable chance to be 
heard and to impact the decisions of the N.F.B. which we are not.
And while I love being a part of the N.F.B., if it comes to a choice between 
standing up for what is right and being a member of the N.F.B., I will stand 
for what is right.  I'm sorry for the tone of this message, but maybe this 
will teach others how we feel when we are treated like dirt with sarcastic 
messages just because we voice a concern.
