If you REALLY want to get your ire up, take a look at what they did to the
Florida chapter a number of years ago. They suspended them for three years
because they were pursuing Clorox for dumping waste into the flow that went to
the Everglades. All for a $100,000 quid pro quo "donation". The national
treasurer at that time was a woman who had locked horns with me many times in
poublic in any and all circumstances to promote herself. She was her own
agenda.
