That's a "voting process"?
That's not voting, that's the good ole boy system.  You've got to know
the right people, and then you're in.  Gathering petition signatures is
a joke with a nation wide mail order lobbying organization like the NRA.
Getting known personally by the Nominating Committee (yet _another_
closed door secret society) shouldn't be grounds for nomination for
anything, other then schmoozer.  Definately *not* nomination for
president of the organization.
This is your idea of a good system?  A system that works?  A success?
