However, less than 10,000 of the 75,000 members voted. I suspect that many had no idea a vote was happening. Even if they saw the page in the magazine they may not have been interested enough to actually tear out the ballot and put it in an envelope. FMCA was counting on that, of course.
So they used a "tear-out" ballot from a magazine for voting? I think I see part of the problem right there. Most of the people I know who are 30 (or even 40) years old and younger don't get any magazines anymore. Or newspapers.
Yes, that's how the vote was designed. Pretty much a rigged system as the regional directors were out there promoting the change to everyone who would listen and those who were not active in a chapter or on the FMCA forum had no idea the vote was happening or what it actually meant.
I'm lucky, my membership expired before the vote so I don't have to worry about what to do going forward. My ONLY reason for being a member was the information provided in the magazine about things that interest me. I will never own a towable so information about them is really of no interest to me. Now, if the guy next door invites me over to his towable we will have a great time and I will likely take a tour (if offered).
