Once again (this is getting scary, Heidi) I am in total agreement. I will
have to vote "No" as well. The Family Membership is vital to planting firm
roots if the organization is to grow. Find 'em young and hook 'em early and
they will be members for life. Making it easier for adults to get their
children involved really makes sense for the long term health of the
organization. As for resident aliens, I can see no good reason why anyone
here in the US legally should be denied full participating membership. Has
there been any rationale offered for these changes? I'd love to hear it, but
in the meantime, I am voting "No."
