"I have to agree with Jo.  I cannot stand by and allow one person to make the decisions for a group with democratically elected leadership and governance.  You really do not have the authority to unilaterally decide whose posting you do not like and then censor them.  

And furthermore, let me remind you that you do not own the listserve nor do you pay for it.  It is a group effort that belongs to the members of the organization, paid for by the members and if you read your Robert's Rules, you will learn what the President's role is and it is not to act as judge and jury deciding what the rest of the members will be allowed to read on their listserve.

I realize that I am one of the ones who has brought you to this decision and for that I am sorry, but please do not abuse your office in an effort to "protect" people from themselves.  We are more than capable of deciding what we should or should not read.  And whether you like it or not, rude, uncivilized ranting is still free speech."

**********IF MICHELLE AND BRIAN ARE NOT ADDED BACK TO THIS LIST BY DAYS OUT, I WANT THE CONTACT INFORMATION TO GCNA'S LEGAL COUNSEL EMAILED TO THE LIST SERVE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!************
