NP>That's a "voting process"?
NP>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.
NP>This is your idea of a good system?  A system that works?  A success?
Okay, What's you solution to this "problem"?
