[amsat-bb] AMSAT Member Mailing list

[Kenneth P Alexander]

It's not that simple Brian.  If you follow that line of thinking then
people by the thousands would be renouncing their American citizenship
because of the current shitshow in Washington, but I haven't heard of that
happening.

The best thing to do is stay in the game, sort through the hysteria and
misinformation and exercise your right to vote when the time comes.  Then
you can move Amsat back to becoming an organization you'll want to remain a
part of.

Ok, back to sleep for me!
