General Desruisseaux. Thank you for your answer. And you are quite right, I do believe sides are important. Without each we would have no Club. It's 2012 now and the beginnings of the Club are long past and we all are bound by a representative government of the Cabinet with the President as an executive head, which I believe is an excellent concept.
Where we differ sir, is in your current position. You state that you will represent all members equally, which is excellent, but you fail to state, as President that you will be equal in judgment for Confederate and Union position alike. On balance that is the President's job and was presented to all of us routinely in the David Mallory doctrine of fairness.
Sir,
I will be impartial and I think I stated that several times. I believe in fairness and will adhere to that. Do you have any knowledge of me not being fair to both sides, to not protect each sides right? There is actually a topic under consideration from me in the Cabinet that would open your eyes about my fairness to both sides. The other Cabinet members are aware of it of course. Unfortunatly the current Cabinet guidelines prevent me from expanding on the subject. I hope to change that so that fairness will be seen in everyday Cabinet business.
The beginnings of the club are the foundation of the club. They are relevant today and affect the day to day operations of the club. The success of the club is based on those beginnings. I don't think they should be put aside just because they are in the past. As a student of history I understand how important it is to learn from history and not make the same mistakes over and over. The concept of President of the club and the Cabinet is from the past (several years) so I really do not understand your statement. I don;t live in the past I live for today. I think my statement and answers clearly state that. I am proactive and will tackle any issues head on. I will not wait and see and I will bother the membership with issues.
I am sorry but will not be able to answer any more questions today as I will be doing inventory today and it will go on until the evening. Unless the campaign is extended till tomorrow.
