[b]Time for a Change?[/b]

I too was thinking that getting some young blood (no pun intended) into the AMA would be a good thing.

Wardy has very perceptively pointed out that the “Professional” and “Amateur” sides of the AMA are, indeed, completely separated from each other.  And, the big problems within the AMA are mostly due to greed, power, and money on the Professional side.  I do however agree that the AMA has truly botched several important endeavors.  In a few very important instances they have not proven that they are on the side of the professional racer, air fence being the most prominent.

It would be very easy for me to vote for Kevin Schwantz.  I want to believe that he could make some good changes.  Fact is I was fully prepared to cast my vote for change.  Then when I read the candidate’s statements, I was no longer impressed.

If Kevin Schwantz, Jeff Nash, and John Ulrich are so gung ho for change why is it that they couldn’t take the time to write individual statements?  All three used the identical words, and therefore, lost my vote.

Or at least John Ulrich  lost my vote since he is in the Southwest region.  Couldn't have voted for Kevin Schwantz, but you know what I meant.  Right?
