Your membership experience in AMSAT - and in our democracy - is way different
than mine.
I send an email on an issue to an AMSAT board member, and I receive a written
reply in a reasonable amount of time. EVERY time.
I pick up the telephone and get right through to the legislative aide I know at
my US Senator's office - 45 hours a week, any time.
For local issues, I can speak with either of two assistants to my county
supervisor during the week. I have the home phone number of one of them.
These entities are not "too busy to listen" to me.
Developing effective communication skills may be a key in how effective one's
message is. And if that message contains what the AMSAT BOD has identified as
objectionable (" ... Illegal ... Insulting, abusive, harassing, or threatening
... Knowingly false or misrepresentative ... " ) then that messenger needs to
clean up his/her act.
