skycat 0 #1 June 28, 2004 Ok, everyone should we vote hooknswoop in as the next national director? I know he would never run so it would have to be a write in vote. The platform, "If I can't get change at least life will not be boring at HQ" So what do you all think?Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #6 June 28, 2004 I think Derek would be one of the best choices you could possibly make. But, if he doesn't want to do it, why write him in? If he were to say, "Yeah, I'd do it" then go for it. If not, then why make him look bad for winning an election and then refusing to take his seat? My wife is hotter than your wife.

Truthfully, it would never happen, he would need a DZ(s) backing him and they would never do that since his veiws are opposite thiers. Actually, I think he would do it, if nothing else to prove that nothing will ever change. The biggest issue is that he let his membership expire (I kind of forgot that part).Fly it like you stole it!

Oh now thats great advice...LOL okay cat how about I just go around with big smile and encourage everyone I know to vote for him...I mean should he win how could he possibly disappoint all of the DZ dots by refusing??

mailin 0 #14 June 28, 2004 Actually... from what I know about Derek, I think it'd be a fantastic idea, and a great playform for the change that many say is needed. JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are lucky if 10% of the USPA members vote. I think Hooknswoop would be a great director. I'll write him in. JudyBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Hooknswoop 19 #19 June 28, 2004 QuoteI'll work on convincing him to do it. You would have an easier time pushing a rope. Write in Bill Von. I tried fixing things from the inside, didn't work out. I eneded up pissed off and bitter enough I sold my gear and quit skydiving. As a ND, I couldn't do any better. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #21 June 28, 2004 Well, if we're being serious, I'll be serious too. Derek is exactly the kind of person we need as a ND. The USPA GM progam has basically gone tits up as well as any desire to adhear to the BSRs when its inconvient to (not all DZs, but a LOT) and other problems. Even if Derek couldn't get things changed, he could raise awareness and get things moving so that eventually we could get the USPA straightened out.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
