    Subject: Re: Vote
    do not archive There are probably more members in the SE that do not use their email regularly, read the list, or access the RPA site enough to be aware of this vote. (You know, country boys, red necks, and hillbillys) I'll get on the phone with the numbers I have and would suggest that might be a way of getting this done.

Vote. Particularly if you are in favor of the new By-laws. There are 33 members down here who have not voted so far. Since by-laws require a 2/3 majority is to pass, not voting or failing to vote, is the same as a no vote. Even if your vote is no, still vote. We need to know if you are getting the message. Now I personally hope you'll vote for the by-laws. I truly believe that regional representation of the BoD is the best direction for RPA to go. This is the major change in the By-laws that I personally feel strongly about. Are the By-laws perfect? None ever are. But I believe this is the best step forward.

I am finding this whole vote thing interesting. Has anybody asked the question, "how will this voting affect my flying?" If the answer is, "not at all," then how the vote turns out is not particularly important. The accuracy of the vote would then be equally unimportant. Regional "representation" (or any "representation" for that matter) doesn't strike me as being too all-fired critical. Regardless of "representation" we need individuals to step up to the plate and deal with things. Formal organizational structure does not equal people getting things done. Someone has to step up and organize regional fly-ins. But the people who are actually motivated to do that will do that regardless of how RPA is organized. And we do need someone to handle the paperwork for FAST but we have that too. And we have the shell of RPA to provide the appearance of legitimacy that makes other FAST signatory organizations and the FAA happy. (In a bureaucracy it doesn't matter what you actually do, you only need to have the *appearance* of doing it right.) So what you need is a way to communicate with your fellow fliers and for a couple of you to actually plan something. If you live in the SE, someone pick a place and plan a fly-in. The rest of you show up. It is that simple and your vote on the by-laws will have absolutely no effect on your flying experience. -- Brian "the anarchist" Lloyd I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Ignore the petty things. Go flying instead.)

This will be a module that is added to the existing electrical system and VR. It does not change the operation of any of the existing components and is only minimally invasive to the existing wiring. The only thing we do is insert a pair of relay contacts between the existing generator switch and the generator. The rest is a small amount of new wiring. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak at lloyd dot com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    Pappy, I'm with you! In the baston of Civil Rights Activism, Alabama, I had never heard of it until a "Black Activitist" decided to celebrate a pagen holiday of questionable origin during the time of the birth of our lord! Kwanzaa! Hum, "though shalt have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). Guess it will all get sorted out when we take the eternal dirt nap.

I know that someone has to do all those things. The key point is that someONE needs to do that. The mythical magical *organization* doesn't do it; *real* *people* do it. And those real people will step up to accomplish this task regardless of any *official* organization. This is like people sitting around and saying, "why didn't the GOVERNMENT do something?" My response is, "why don't *YOU* get off your ass and do something?" So when people stand around saying, "why isn't RPA putting on a fly-in down here," my response is, of course, "why aren't you getting off your ass and putting on a fly-in down there?" Want a fly-in? Put one on. Get with the other guys in your area you know will work on a project to the end and just do it. It is like this corporate guy I am working with on a start-up out here. He has been so into doing org-charts, work-flows, and ISO certification that he has forgotten that someone actually has to turn a screwdriver and string wires. Turning a screwdriver and stringing wires (or coordinating with the FBO or making copies of the FAST manual) makes things actually work. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak at lloyd dot com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    Subject: Ohh yee little Brian spunt and the vote..............
    It seems to me that for an organization like Red Stars we really should have regional representation. For example, if you fail to vote for the current bylaws then RPA will not have regional representation. I think it would then fall on the National coordinators (guys like Drew) to organize EVERYTHING. I doubt they are going to do that for all regions of the country on a continuing basis. Bottom line is few will devote a majority of their time and effort for free so you have little choice but to divide those responsibilities regionally among willing volunteers. All RPA staff are volunteers. So, yes, ohh yee little Brian spunt, the vote does affect RPA's organizational abilities and thus your flying activities as part of an organized group.

Great day. I introduced my girlfriend's grandkids to general aviation. Her granddaughter (age 15) was at first afraid to fly but then went with us anyway. I finally got her into the right seat and showed her how to make the airplane turn. I think I made a convert. Yeah, it was a good day. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak at lloyd dot com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
