[Vision2020] RE: Tribune uncovers new Moscowpro-growth gro

[J Ford]

Just got the below from a member of the GMA...really polite one at that.  :)

Doesn't answer the question as to who is supporting them in the paying for 
the big items like ads, printing, etc.  The "membership" dues of $25 is 
really not going to go far especially since they don't seem to have all that 
much of a membership.

Now, if they all are REQUIRED to kick in on those larger items, that would 
explain some of it.  Wonder if that is on the membership form when you sign 
up - small print that is.  Can't see it myself, but maybe you have to have 
the secret handshake down before they let you in on that little thing.

J  :]

NOTICE:  This was an OFFLIST missive; however, to protect the writer and 
still get the message out, I have deleted the member's name and return 
address.  Notice I did NOT say to protect the "innocent."
