Re: [ga] Vote on representation first

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dominikand all,

  I also believe that the "Voting booth" is a wonderful tool,
and should be used.  It is a wonderful mis used tool in
the hands of anyone whom would seek to control it for
his or her own agenda's.  Seems to me Joop is beginning
to again do just that.  I can only say: one whom refuses
to learn the lessons of history is doomed to repeat them.

  So I suggest strongly Joop turn over his "Voting
booth" to someone else and or another GA member.
