1. How many of you have ever been to any BOD, S&TA, Gen Membership, DZO, or group membership meeting held by the USPA? This February will be my first one but I am Going along with several others from the Atlanta area. 2. Have you read the lawsuit that was brought against the USPA by Skyride? I am the one that posted the Complaint to the Skyride Thread. Yes I have read it. I have read every publicly available document associated with that case. I used my own personal Pacer account to acquire those documents. 3. Have you ever contacted your RD for any reason? Talk to him most weekends to atleast say hello. 4. Do you even vote in the USPA elections? Yep. These things need to be discussed by the General Membership. The general membership has a right to know what their organization is doing. Posting this information and making the general membership aware of what is happening at the USPA is critical if anything is ever going to change. Depending on the USPA and USPA Officials to tell us what they want us to hear is not the answer.

What is that supposed to mean?? Blacck Tee Shirts, Converse High tops and Levi`s will ALWAYS be in style.. And lets not forget the Stylish way I wear hats!!

I offered her a place too.. But I KNOW I cant comepete with that. Hey.. If I gave away all my camper spots, Could I come too?

My Opinion: The reason a lawsuit was brought was that the USPA tried to stand up and do the right thing. No matter what was posted, said, done or otherwise... Skyride would have filed that suit.

Sadly enough.. I agree with you. The USPA has us and they know it. We really have no choice. If you want to skydive, You MUST be a member. It sucks but it is a sad fact of life. Maybe one day.. Just maybe.. People might actually get pissed off enough to get involved. But these are skydivers we are talking about. All they really care about is when is the next call and who bought the beer.

The USPA was the one being sued.

Cowboys has Poprocks.

Fact: Impeachment Proceedings for Jan are on the BOD Agenda. Fact: Jan Meyer has been very outspoken about Skyride and their unethical Business practices. Fact: At least one member of the Executive committee is a Skyride supporter and affiliate. Fact: The USPA Executive Committee just settled a lawsuit with Skyride. You draw your conclusions from that, I will draw mine.

There is a thread in General about it. I would post a link but then I might get in trouble for cross posting. Your WAG is as good as my WAG.

Opinion. I only know of ONE member for certain that is a Skyride affiliate and supporter.

The USPA Executive committee has us by the short curly`s and they know it. If you want to skydive, You must belong to their organization. There is no alternative for the vast majority of us. They will continue to do as they please, a few people will rant about it but in the end.. They can do anything they want and there is nothing we as the membership can do about it. Right? How else could the executive Committee that is firmly in bed with skyride be the ones that settled the skyride lawsuit (can anyone say "Conflict of Interest") and now impeach the most outspoken member of BOD against skyride. But.. hey.. Everything is GREAT for the USPA. Just read the press release. right?

I am still planning on going. Even more now that I see the USPA is going to try to impeach Jan Meyer during BOD meeting. If you have an opinion on that matter, You might want to find a way to get it heard before the meeting.

Dont know.. Adgenda just says: New Business A. Impeachment proceedings re: Jan Meyer. But my wild ass guess is that it has to do with her outspoken stance on Skyride and the fact the members of our Executive committee are Firmly in bed with Skyride. But that is just my opinion and may be wrong.

I just saw on the USPA website that the USPA has scheduled impeachment proceedings Jan Meyer at the upcoming Meeting. Since we (the general membership) elected her, do we have any say in this matter? How do we as the general membership start Impeachment Proceedings against CORRUPT officials in the Executive Committee? Edited to correct spelling of name.

Only in Alabama!! Where they are still convinced that wrasslin' is real but they faked the Moon shot. Glad to hear you enjoyed the show.

Yes, But they changed the name to Skyfest and moved it to South Carolina.

If it is an Ouragan Suit that you had Rushed with every option... We would be in the same ball park.

Which is exactly why I started this thread. I am a man on a mission!! (I feel so stalkerish right now.. )

That L.A.M.B stuff is ridiculous. Try $65 Tee Shirts and I will NEVER admit how much I paid for a Pair of jeans and a Skirt for my daughter from them. Of course my daughter being somewhat more intelligent than her father bought all her LAMB clothing off ebay for about 20% of what her dumb ass father paid for it off the website.

I managed to get her manager and her agents name and address. Sending out SASE`s and a letter today. Snail mail sucks. Almost forgot how to use an envelope. Hope it works.

Do I get a Vote?? I like the fly to ATl and ride with crazy Atlanta kids ME!!

I have messages in to her Myspace, Website and record label so far. It is a long shot but I had to try.

My Daughters Sweet 16 Birthday Party is coming up in a couple weeks (the 26th). Her biggest Idol is Gwen Stefani and has been since she about 9 years old. Her room is covered in G and her closet full of L.A.M.B. I decided to try the impossible and see if I can get a message to Gwen Stefani and try to get her a personalized Birthday Wish. An Autograph, Note or Picture or anything like that. I don’t mind dropping some Cash to get this done as I think it would make my daughter birthday to get some token from her hero. I know I can buy autographed Pics all day long on ebay, but I was hoping for something personalized. A simple Happy Sweet 16 Eve or something like that. I have tried her website and few other places. No luck so far. Anyone have any suggestion on a way to get a message to celeb or should I just drop this silly idea?

I didnt say I wanted to Catch them. Just Chase them. Kinda like A dog chases cars. If the car stops, the fun is over.
