Michele 1 #2 January 30, 2004 Any other avenue? Phone calls, letters, email? I've already signed the petition, and am willing to do more, I just don't know what else to do! Thanks, Missy; get there, and then kick some international booty!!!!

Trent 0 #3 January 30, 2004 Just so you all know, there are a lot of names on that petition already, but they could use a lot more! If all goes as planned, the BOD will see the petition on Monday or Tuesday, so if you've got just 2 spare seconds, sign up now! The US Team, now and in the future, needs to have alternate plans for selections to the team, and this is a way to get the BOD to consider it and start to make some changes. Don't hesitate: http://www.flyvertical.com/petition.cfm Thanks again!Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissMissy 0 #4 January 30, 2004 I've included the link to my weekly update subscribers which is 1000+ people and have called everyone saved on my phone. Some people don't like mass fwd'd e-mails otherwise I'd suggest to fwd it to those on your e-mail list. I'm about to head out of the country for a week in Mexico. We're having our 2nd Boogie in Ixtapa... can't wait... but I hope to collect more names while I'm there. I really appreciate your support. Maybe I'll have more ideas to work with when I return. -- Missy--- Missy Nelson **Learning Never Stops** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me that makes no sense whatsoever. Why not show up at the next BOD/Competition Committee meeting February 20-22 with as large a petition as you can muster by then. http://uspa.org/news/notices.htm#wintermtg That way everything will be on the record and if the ideas have merit, you can apply more pressure.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trent 0 #10 January 30, 2004 Well, she's sending the letters from competitors in a package that explains the situation for the BOD members. That has to be done in advance so that they'll know what's up come meeting time. A link to the petition will also be given in these packets. We're hoping that the petition is large enough so that they'll see that people care BEFORE the meeting, so they'll take it seriously DURING the meeting. Remeber they're having to appeal to individual board members, so the more time they have to consider it... Showing up would be a good idea, but that's not always an option... Maybe we could send a hardcopy of the complete petition by then for the meeting? Missy?Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 0 #11 January 30, 2004 Already got my name on the petition Missy. Good luck and I'll see you in Mexico Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skymama 35 #12 January 30, 2004 So, let's say the someone wasn't paying too much attention when they were filling out the petition, and they put in their license number instead of their USPA number. Should said stupid person redo it? She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Trent 0 #13 January 30, 2004 Nah, License numbers will work too... future signers should use their uspa numbers though... so tell your stupid friend not to worry!Oh, hello again!

I'm just thinking it would be more impressive if at least one of you showed up to plead the case. If you really want to be on the team, it would show them you're taking things seriously rather than just sort of "phoning it in" and expecting to be given a slot.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MissMissy 0 #17 January 30, 2004 Bill is working in Mexico as well.
