I agree also that we should poll our members.  Otherwise, we are doing the same thing to which we object.  If we find our members agree with us (and I think they will), what stand will we take if Carol does not agree?  I know her and I think she won't agree. We should think about that.  The more I read the news release, the more I am convinced that this is not the last anti-Obama news release that would go out ostensibly from AEJMC.  They will (Carol and her committee) will probably suggest that this be taken up at the conference in August and that's too late, unles she promises not to send out any additional news releases until then.

While there has been rigorous discussion about the press release--we have certainly not heard from a majority of the members. I don't want us to be guilty of speaking for the membership without input from a majority of the members.

I believe the process should be for the head of CSM or MAC to contact Carol only to tell her our opposition to her actions, our belief that it is inappropriate for her to use her position as president of AEJMC as a bully pulpit, etc--Whoever speaks to her should alert her that a resolution WILL be drafted by members of these two organizations.   I don't see that it is one or the other.  As Ali has said, Carol is very bright.  There is no chance that she didn't know what she was doing nor did she do it in isolation--there is her advisory council-- I am sure that she was in consultation with it.
