Yes, Chop, I think you're right, one of the few clear alternatives would be to try and form our own trade association.
It would have a lot of advantages. But, I believe it would be _significantly_ more expensive. Let's say we can get away with $100 to $300 a year each with memberships to the FSC. Staring our own association would probably require closer to a thousand dollars each per year (that's a conservative estimate), if we wanted it to be anything more than a toothless symbol. And the learning curve, learning how to lobby and how to act politically, and how to run it as an organization, could be very steep. It's been tried before and failed spectacularly every time. But, it's definitely a choice that has to be kept on the table and studied closely. --- On another note, I just renewed my membership with the ACLU. $75 well spent. |

You get what you pay for. As long as we're willing to be treated like a red-headed stepchild and give them our money, they will be only more than happy to oblige.
My feeling is that if we showed we were seriously making an attempt to form some type of association...and it began to sprout legs...then the FSC would be willing to put more effort into our causes because while we may not be a major source of revenue....I can't imagine we're chump change either. As far as the FSC...I let my membership expire months ago and have no intention of renewing it. |

Well, I suggest that we have no idea what the FSC could do for us, because so far we've just thrown some cash at them without making any demands.
In politics, you aren't taken seriously unless you are a threat. And we haven't threatened the FSC. We need to bust their balls, then measure the response, in order to know wether or not they are of any use to us. |
