Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl01356)

Hi Everybody:

The following letter was Faxed by me to John Algeo on the morning of 27th
April 1996.
I have not yet heard from him as of this writing. I am posting it here as I
think all of you need to know about this matter.

theos-l but not on theos-buds.

                    National Elections Ballots

   Dear Bro. Algeo

   	The members of TSA have received the ballots for the
   upcoming election of National Officers. It has come to my
   attention that members who have not been TSA members for two
   years as of January 1996 have not received their ballots.
   These include the members who voted in the last ballot to
   change the bylaws of TSA.

   	By excluding those who have not been members for two
   years but who voted in the bylaws change, in effect the two
   year voting rule is being applied retroactively. It is
   common knowledge that this kind of retroactive application
   is considered serious disenfranchisement of the voting
   rights of the members. I hope this above non mailing of the
   ballots to the above class of members is an oversight.

   	I would appreciate your clarifying the situation. If
   in fact it is an oversight, these members should be sent
   their ballots with greatest urgency so that they can
   exercise their voting rights in the national election.

   With fraternal greetings,
                                           Yours fraternally,




                                           M. K. Ramadoss
