Mark -
Gee, Mark, waiting to post messages on this subject after the election
will defeat the purpose, don't you think? I guess it's just a little
quirk I have - I want to know who and what I'm voting for before I
actually cast my vote. I would suspect that people on both sides of the
issue would like to know as well.
It seems to me if we put our heads together, we can make some kind of
arrangement to get this information out without violating any rules. How
about having AALL collect the statements and post them as a newsletter
addendum to be also included in the next newsletter? How about sending
out a short, special mailing with this information? Is there time to
get them into the next newsletter before the vote, even as an insert?
