These satellites don't just build themselves. If you choose not to get
involved with YOUR organization, then don't post on amsat-bb someday wondering
why there are no more satellites available for you to "play radio" with. 

For some, this may be "just a hobby", for those who volunteer to serve AMSAT
with their personal time and effort, it is much more than "just a hobby". I
believe that every volunteer comes to AMSAT to serve the cause of keeping
amateur radio in space, but may see different ways to move the organization
forward toward that goal. 

There is a Board election coming up very soon. Like all elections, it behooves
you as a good citizen of AMSAT to be informed of the issues and make a wise
choice in voting for your elected representatives. As my high school civics
teacher (and probably yours) said, "if you don't vote, you don't have a right
to complain".
