From what I understand,a couple of years ago (I think) there was a supposed election where someone was appointed president (and other officals) of the MVPA. They supposedly had a different agenda then the general membership, and this was done supposedly on the sly.
Personally, I joined the MVPA as a source of info, parts, ect, and to check out the really neat pictures of MV's. I TRUELY HATE POLITICS! Weather they be actual politics, office politics or personal politics. I also hate to be forced into politics. It leaves a bad taste.
The cost for a 2 year membership is $65.00. Not bad for just the 2 magazines ya get for 2 years. Personally, I feel they spend to much time on Jeeps and not enough on WC's, but still..... they're good reads, and I look forward to them.
My local MV club is not recognized by the MVPA due to politics, but that's okay too. What I don't like is all the $$$$ they're sitting on and in control of. From what Ernie is saying, what they're doing sounds illegal, and the state's attorney general should look into it. RICO is a bad MF'er.
