MARC ballot and Constitution change

[Brian SATX]

To OLD182- IF the Board really wanted input about the changes, I feel that they should have sent the proposed changes out for comment. I also feel that it is a little under handed the way it is told to the members. No where on the ballot or in constitution with the the proposed changes does it say you need to justify your vote, only one little statement inside the magazine. According to Article XIII members may get a proposed change on a ballot and if the Board recommended against it, could the Board then require members to justify a yes vote? The way this is being handled, I believe they could. Again, I do not feel that I have to justify my vote to make it valid.

There are dozens of changes in the paperwork I received, dozens. They even added a section. When you give just a no, what part are you against? How can you be against changing the name of driving award to the mileage award, but that is exactly what you are saying when all you say is no.
