As every day goes by, any democratically elected leader (and his/her
actions ) are is put under a microscope - all aspects of the life including
personal ones - that is the current trend in this country. If one cannot
stand such intense scrutiny, then they should not aspire for such positions.

Decline in membership in *any* organization is a serious matter, especially
when the trend takes place over a period of time.

Any member worth his salt who takes the organization seriously will wonder
what is going on and what is planned to be done and why and how. If decline
in membership is planned one -- just like downsizing of organizations --
then the membership should be told so -- and then the membership can decide
and leave and save some money.

Any one is welcome to challenge my above response.
