Frank Tiano, Candidate for AMA President

[dhal22]

That was more of what I was looking for. Specifics of things to change. Not sure I completely understand the insurance for vendors and if claims are made how that affects my dues. But everything else is good. And I'm not a FT fan, but may still write him in

I'm not a FT fan either but agree on writing him in.

I know nothing of the other 2 candidates so I'll have to do some research. I know good and bad about FT. I do know he cares about his portion(s) of the hobby though.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/627418730749785/ Here's a good start, not sure how reliable the info is, but if it's on the interweb it's gotta be true.

Also more info over on AssHat's drama site

Absolutely

Make sure to read up on ALL the candidates and not just support the one that has a front page thread on him and you may recognize his name. I'm hearing there will be more info coming out soon (I hope) on the other candidates and their stance with regards to drones, aircraft and the future of the AMA.

issues with the candidates being part of the nominating committee are disappointing. organizations like AMA should try to avoid losing their credibility by letting things like that happen.

potential candidates were voting in the nominating process for/against themselves and other potential candidates (like Frank).

we'll see what the others have to say but so far the process isn't providing a lot of confidance

All I know is whomever you vote for make sure it is not my do-nothing District X VP Lawrence Tougas, who surprise, surprise, was on the nominating committee and is himself a candidate!!

To review, he had 3 main campaign promises:

1) Establish a District X flying site. He refused to believe that we had "BTDT" and made is part of his platform. Guess what? Still nothing there!!

2) All new and improved District Website. Sure, it looks different but most do not know it exists and it is largely worthless as well.

3) Work to save flying sites. I have personal knowledge of his "involvement" with at least one flying site situation in Los Angeles and let's just say his interest and efforts were underwhelming.

So I can safely say he does NOT have my vote.

Frank is worthy of consideration, no question. But write in candidates rarely do well. I fear that people who might vote for the other candidate might vote for Frank and thus we end up with Mr. Tougas thanks to a split vote.

I have know Frank and we have done business together for a number of years. Frank can be a little rough around the edges but I believe that's what the AMA needs. We know Frank can get things done and done well. I hope he can get the support of the membership and board to back him.

Frank you have my vote and support, let me know what we can do to help.

What he need's is a thorough reaching of the masses and the modeling magazine would not do it. Somehow he need's to generate emails to the AMA members, or something of the like. Of course all the r/c related businesses could aid by way of sponsorship of ad's on their website's.

Uh Ohhh, @Bartman, did GSN get hit by the polical's? The Frank sticky on the featured thread page is gone.
