504.0. "Voters Response" by COMET::PEACOCK () Thu Mar 19 1992 22:33

As a RON of this notesconference since its creation, who has just posted
two Ballots (two badge house).  This election I feel is serious enough to 
cause me to write instead of read only.  So I would like to offer the 
following to those I/we voted for and those I/we didn't.  We are currently 
members of 3 other credit unions so can weigh how they act against how DCU
has acted.   All of these credit unions pride themselves on not only having
the officers but the enlisted in equal parts on there boards. (If you haven't
guessed they're military credit unions)

This notesconference has given us the opportunity to really feel that we 
"KNOW" who we voted for.  Communication IS the key.  

To the candidates.. We at times have not agreed with your responses, but
more times have agreed.  Your bickering is not any different than any 
political process but it does enable us the "silent majority" to understand
what you represent.  I know the notesconferences leave out probably at least
half of the members.  But, that is still more than typically vote in any 
election anyway.  The report as issued by the credit committee didn't sway
our opinions at all except that it was nice to put a face to some of the
usernames.  This conference has allowed us to feel that we know, and did
vote for the right candidates.

Thank YOU!!

504.1GUFFAW::GRANSEWICZI'm voting for REAL CHOICE candidates next weekFri Mar 20 1992 00:203
    
    
    Welcome to the conference ex-RON!  And thanks for voting.

    I just received the ballot paper yesterday.I was surprised to see so many
    senior DEC people ) VEE PEES and PEE VEES as NOMINATED candidates.
    Already as senior officers of the company their schedules plates must 
    be full and they will hardly have any time to do DCU work. It is hard 
    for me to imagine they just do DO DA DO DA in their regular jobs and 
    hence have all the time in the world to do DCU work. 

    I felt that most of these PEE VEES who are nominated may be using this 
    as additional status symbol to beef up their resume and nothing else. 
    Hey ! let them focus on their main job and make DEC more successful. 

    Also once these PEE VEEs  are elected it is difficult to approach
    them- Our calls will get filtered out by these NOMINATED's secretaries
    and in many cases the calls will never be returned. ( Heck- Some of
    these folks have not  even returned the official calls I made on DEC 
    business )....  

    Hence I decided to vote for 7 REAL CHOICE candidates. I hope they win !

    Nobody asked- Just my opinion.

    After reading all the infomation that was sent via the official ballot,
    and the information that I got from the notes file. I was pleasantly
    surprised, at the background, that the candidates had. i.e. choice
    people. I was also impressed by the background of the two people that
    got on the petition on their own. I hope my vote helps turn DCU around.
    
    Please vote.

re .3:

Actually, all of the petition candidates had greater or lesser degrees of
help from the volunteer group in collecting their signatures, plus a couple
of other people who did not submit petition forms.  The "real choices"
candidates are a subset of the group that the volunteers collected signatures 
for -- they are the ones who chose to campaign together.

	Enjoy,

504.5THANKS!PICKET::KENNERLYFri Mar 20 1992 13:5911
    I, too, would like to take this opportunity, post-voting, to thank
    all the contributors to this notesfile for keeping us so well informed.
    
    The candidates inparticular have worked endlessly to make this 
    election as honest as possible and I think I speak for many of us
    silent readers when I say ....Thanks for a job well done.   
    
    I don't think I have ever been so well prepared or anxious to cast a
    ballot.
    
      
504.6THANKS!MEMIT::KELLEHERFri Mar 20 1992 14:0813
    I'd like to add my 2 cents worth if I may.
    
    My personal thanks to all of the petition candidates and the volunteers
    who assisted you.  You have enabled at least this voter to make
    intelligent choices on who will run the DCU in the future.  Your
    openness and honesty has been refreshing but most of all I appreciate
    ALL the intelligent questions you have posed to the Board for the past
    year or so.  Without these questions the truth may have been hidden
    from us for much longer than one would expect.  I look forward to
    seeing your names announced at the meeting in April.....as the NEW and
    IMPROVED Board of the DCU!!!!!  Good-luck and best wishes.

    Also a RON up to this point...but I feel inspired to jump in with my
    two cents worth.  This notesconference truly enabled me to feel
    empowered, and to be informed, and thus, to cast an "intelligent"
    ballot.  I "campaigned" for one of the "Real Choice" candidates, and
    busily distributed to my own wide readership all of the excellent
    information Phil G. worked so hard to put together and get out on the
    Net.  I therefore have the illusion that I have been some small part of
    helping us to reclaim our own CU.  I have cast my ballot, making my
    choices ONLY from the excellent petition candidates, and am praying
    like all get out for success for all of us, especially all of YOU who
    have devoted so much time and effort to prying the facts from the
    recalcitrant DCU BoD, and putting fingers to the keyboard, and getting
    the word out.  Thanks to all of you, and you know who you are!  :^)
    
    TGIF, and here's to success!
