peek 21 #1 October 9, 2002 I'm usually a rec.skydiving kind of guy because it is so much quicker to view posts there, and the fact that they talk politics there more often, but maybe we can entertain ourselves here too...... It's not too early to talk USPA election politics- Now that the candidates for the USPA BOD election (that are going to be on the ballots you will soon receive) have been announced, I was wondering what you all thought. Have you talked to any of them? Ever email your RD? What did you ask? Plan to vote for anyone running as a write-in? Who do you plan to vote for and why? - name recognition? - know them personally? - know their politics? - only person listed on the ballot for RD? - etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #4 October 9, 2002 I've met a few of the canidates and after meeting a few they will get my vote, and a few of them won't due to how they treated me or what they said their opinions were on things. I think the things that need most addressed are the GM program and the 180 repack cycle.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #6 October 9, 2002 The S&TA at my DZ is waging a write-in campaign for RD, and he is awesome to the nth. Attention people in the Gulf Region: look the guy profiled in your latest Parachutist. That's Allen Flynn, write-in regional director candidate! He's awesome! Vote for him! I think he plans to have his website up soon. It would be nice to have a little more to go on than the little bios in the election issue of Parachutist.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #7 October 9, 2002 - Have you talked to any of them? I see and jump with a couple of ND candidates at my home dz on a semi-regular basis. I see and jump with the candidate and incumbent RD for my region on a semi-regular basis. I see the other candidate for my RD at my home dz pretty much every weekend. I generally don't talk dz or USPA politics with any of them. -Ever email your RD? Don't need to. See him on the dz. - Plan to vote for anyone running as a write-in? Nope. - Who do you plan to vote for and why? Not saying who I'm voting for. Why am I voting for them? Because I a) know them personally and/or b) appreciate the work they've already put into our organization. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
