===================================<\/p>\n
I. READING BETWEEN THE LINES – MEMBER COMMENTARY<\/p>\n
Have you gotten multiple calls encouraging you to vote yes
\nand send in your ballot?<\/p>\n
If you’ve said you won’t vote until you have more information and are told,
\n“Notice of intent to sell the #47 property was posted in February 2015.\u201d
\n\u00a0
\nPlease keep in mind that… <\/p>\n
There was no such notice in February. The Board for the Club voted\u00a0
\n…to initiate the process of selling the Local 47 property through mail
\nreferendum.” on 2\/17\/2015. Very poorly worded motion, but apparently
\nthat’s when it started. An entry in meeting minutes does not constitute
\nnotice to members.<\/p>\n
More rat spit from the local.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the local stopped printing meeting minutes in the Overture.
\nIf you want to review the minutes you need to go to the members only
\narea of the website. So what it comes down to is that members had no
\nnotice or confirmation about selling the properties until September of
\nthis year.<\/p>\n
There really is a pattern developing on all of this, and it goes way
\nbeyond ambiguity.<\/p>\n
“If you repeat a lie enough times it becomes the truth.”
\nJoseph Goebbels<\/p>\n
====================================<\/p>\n
II. NEED MORE PROOF?<\/p>\n
Do you need more proof that the Ballot is a fiction? A fix? More proof that
\nregardless of whether you vote yes or no they can use it as a yes vote?<\/p>\n
It’s easy to verify.<\/p>\n
Here is the original question:<\/p>\n
Shall the officers of the Musician\u2019s Club of Los Angeles (\u201dthe Club\u201d) be
\nauthorized to sell the Club\u2019s real property. – located at 817 Vine Street,\u00a0
\nHollywood, CA 90038 – for not less than Twenty Two Million
\nDollars ($22,000,000) to the successful highest bidder?<\/p>\n
If you remove the Address you get this:<\/p>\n
Shall the officers of the Musician\u2019s Club of Los Angeles (\u201dthe Club\u201d) be
\nauthorized to sell the Club\u2019s real property for not less than Twenty Two Million
\nDollars ($22,000,000) to the successful highest bidder?<\/p>\n
See it?<\/p>\n
EITHER a Yes or No answer can be used to sell the building, only the
\nprice point changes.<\/p>\n
Yes means yes, NO means yes. The membership is being played.<\/p>\n
They don’t even have to open up the ballots, only count them en mass.<\/p>\n
As we said before, the problem may not have been intentional, but the
\nLocal has refused to fix the problem at every turn.<\/p>\n
We also understand that 1000 more ballots had to be ordered. Did they
\nchange the wording? Any bets?<\/p>\n
Don’t be played, DON’T send in your ballot. If they wanted this to be
\nan honest referendum they could have made sure yes means yes, and
\nno means no, but they’re trying to hoodwink the membership and
\nguarantee their salaries for the next decade without having to be
\naccountable for the gutting of our Local’s (and national AFM Recording)
\nwork by their genuflecting and cowering to the RMA.<\/p>\n
The board has had every chance to recall and fix the ballot, but have
\nfought efforts to make them do so. If they wanted an honest choice,
\nthey wouldn’t fight giving the membership one.<\/p>\n
That should tell you everything you need to know.<\/p>\n
A new twist…. We’ve gotten word from several members who’ve received
\nrepeated calls urging them to vote for the sale, that they are now being told
\nby the caller that, “If we can sell the building, we can use some of the money
\nto sue companies to get more work.”<\/p>\n
Anyone who’s been around knows that most or all of the work gotten
\nby lawsuits would go the the RMA chosen and do virtually nothing for
\nthe rank and file.<\/p>\n
NEW Buyout contracts for many things the AFM doesn’t allow is the answer.<\/p>\n
