I was surprised to have a few guys I know send me e-mails telling me that they had written DPA telling them to pull their cards, and that they would return the stickers and other items they had sent them.

The reasons varied. Of all of these guys, I never though any of them would change their minds. I am curious to talk to them to see what their deeper reasoning was.

I really don't see that changing with DPA. Politics are politics, business is business, & they will NEVER go away.

People change their minds everyday.

T, its not national that signs the contracts or fights it out with the company, since the company does give money to the local for FPL...why doesn't our dues go down? Just asking other questions.

Just curious, acl, what did DPA say to these guys? Did they return their card?

I'm just curious. What is the exact number of guys who sent you emails telling you they had written DPA to "pull their cards?"

Also, I'm glad to see that you are interested in "their deeper reasoning" for doing this. Do you have the same interest in the "deeper reasoning" of the guys who have sent in cards and not asked them to be pulled?
