FIRST OFF, I do not defame or seemingly defame this orginaziation, I 
refuse to call it fine.. YOU FOLKS AT THE TOP SEEM TO TAKE 
CARE OF THE DEFAMING PART ALL ON YOUR OWN!

FIRST, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE ANY SUGGESTIONS, 
THE NUMBERS SHOULD SCARE YOU TO DEATH!  Check the 
QCWA numbers out yourself.  Those are not my numbers, they are yours. 

I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A LIST, NOT JUST MINE BUT WITH
THE VIEWS OF SOME CHAPTER MEMBERS. I expect nothing to happen!!

IF THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS GROUP HAS BEEN SO GOOD OVER
THE PAST 20 YEARS, WHY ARE THE NUMBERS WHAT THEY ARE?
