<P>It seems that there is one controversy after another between those in special intrest groups and the AMA leadership another recent example of similar action is when they reversed course on the CD dues issue. I think that they should buy the Dallas Cowboys they seem to be useing the same logic as Jerry Jones when it comes to intellegent management. If they insist on Dictatorship instead of Leadership I can see a bunch of Free Agents in the near future.</P>
<P>OOps maby I should wait and see how they handle this one before I make such comments,sorry Dave</P>

<DIV></DIV>>maybe it's time to remind them that we are willing and capable of
<DIV></DIV>>doing something like NPAC if we feel that our needs aren't being met
