text: In reply to message1766: I don't care about previous conversations, I'm replying to this video message specifically. Hello everyone, I am the XO/State Intel Officer of Colorado. We have over 200 active members. (contrary to the video presentation) Who in my humble opinion are extremely solid. (With teams, of 30 plus in one prominent zones, and an average of 10+ in many. National perhaps doesn't know this, but they've never asked.) We vote, on everything, trivial, or substantial. As a state, we've never asked for anything but to break even on any monetary investments. We're trained, we're as ready as we can be, but there's no such thing as too much training or knowledge. We don't ask from any other state, and have never really received anything from National. (No offense). We sort of stand alone and will continue the course. We're patriots, that's good enough for us. As requested, I've submitted a response regarding the National Membership website, and never heard a word from our Regional CO. It is what it is. We will not, participate in the National website database, This was voted upon as a state. Our hearts are in this program, but if we're considered outside of National's expectations, then perhaps we will have to part ways. There are many videos and statements that are seemingly contrary to our hearts. We will not be dictated to. We will not be told something is 'mandatory' or that something is not 'optional'. This isn't the democratic convention, this isn't a democracy it is still a Constitutional Republic as a country, and even though you see me as an XO, of an organization, I still feel like a representative of my state speaking on behalf of my zones/counties/sectors. They have voted, that they don't understand what National is implementing and therefor will not participate. Period. Cut us off if you wish, we will stay the course on our own if necessary. Otherwise I personally suggest, (and this is seriously my own opinion.) that you figure it all out, and let us know. We can go our own, or we can be a force multiplier. The choice is your's. If AP is to be a dictatorship, we'll roll along without that branding. If states are interested in preserving the Constitution, we might be interested in collaboration and networking.
