text: @BadgerZero you're right, it isn't about me/I. I'm here because I fear the future for my kids and grandkids, I'm here for THEM. I'm here because of the dedication from AP to my family & community and yours as well. I'm a humble person (to an extent, I don't just let people walk all over me) and live a very modest life, usually robbing Peter to pay Paul. I was raised to be respectful and have taught my children to do the same, regardless of where they end up or who they are talking to in the societal standard. Respect is a 2 way street. If Scot didn't have respect for those he thought was capable of leading a state under the name of HIS organization, he wouldn't have put them in that position, especially if he thought they'd tarnish the name of AP. He has let states "do their own thing" for a very long time. Some folks have swelled heads and think because they've been left unsupervised, that they are exempt from the changes coming. It doesn't work like that. To keep moving forward and to make AP the greatest Patriot group around some changes have to be made. Running any organization takes funding, especially if it's nonprofit, which AP will be. Everyone wanted to bitch & moan before they even knew what the hell was going on, all because a Regional officer let the cat out of the bag before anything was set in stone. So what happened, everyone had something to say before they even had all the facts! An intentional move to stir the pot and make a grand exit and take as many people with them as they could. Period! So before everyone jumps the gun on the Membership dues anymore, why not wait to see what National actually has to say about it!I'm done for the night. This shits gave me a headache! The pissing and moaning, chest puffing and complete disrespect for our COC and leadership has me feeling some way. I really thought we were better than this. I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend.
