Thanks Dwight,
Yes, you are right, we must not make a mistake and just react, we must make sure we do things the right way since two wrongs do not make a right.

Thanks Petra,
I have been asked by Dr. Linda Callahan to draft a resolution.
I am happy to do so, but I was a little concerned by some of the concerns
raised by Brad Gorham and Ken Campbell. Also, I would not be able to
complete the task until later this week at the earliest. I want to be sure
we follow protocol and make the most of the opportunity for our resolution.
I assumed the resolution would come from the Commission on the Status of
Minorities, but await specifics from the leadership of that body (besides
Dr. Callahan).
I am open for discussion on this matter.
Dwight

I concur with the group that a resolution is appropriate.  I, too, question
why this topic, why now.  I find it inappropriate that the AEJMC leadership
would think it acceptable to take a stand on an issue that's going to cause
such contention.  If the leaders of the organization are trying to bring
attention to AEJMC, this is not the way to do it.

Colleagues --  It's clear MAC and CSM must lead the charge in taking a stand
against our AEJMC President's clearly selective perception assault on
President Obama.  Has anyone told Carol Pardun, Paul Lester or other
Advisory Council members that their position don't match Obama's record?
What was their evidence in taking this position?

Definitely, as all have said, we need to protest this release through a
resolution response, and hold further discussion on the proceedings at our
Denver meeting.

My appreciation to Dwight for starting the resolution draft and to Anita
Rife for immediate expression of disdain.

As some have mentioned, I can only think of how DR. BARROW would respond in
initiating an informed and deft call to action to demonstrate our dissent
with the AEJMC President's position.   In my humble opinion, Pardun's AEJMC
release does not speak for great numbers of  AEJMC members, is politically
charged and has transparency issues as well.

This is a call to action.
