Admin. Note: We’ve noted Handel’s correction, quoting Membership First director Bonnie Bartlett, who told him “Cassel did refer to Gilbert dismissively, but not using nasty language. Johnson told me that she later ejected Cassel because he responded to one of David White’s comments by saying “bullshit.”"

Why a majority (72%) let a minority (28%) make all the decisions that affect their livelihood is maddening. American Idol has better statistics. -- WW Snarky Response: Yeah, but AI allows multiple votes from a single voter.

In fact, one of them used to be M1 and changed sides about 7 years ago. Might it ever occur that some of those people that voted no might have thought they were voting for the theatrical contract and were just confused? Or, as in the case of many who spoke against some of the elements of the contract (and they were also comprised of a previous M1 board member) at the info meeting, they just think we didn't get enough. I know you all hate Membership First. And this is an Anti-Membership First site. But, I gotta tell you: I was there. I saw Board members from M1 working WITH USAN people, WITH U4S people and in tandem with AFTRA members and getting the work done. It had nothing to do with politics. And, yay! 94% That's pretty effing awesome! Allen -- — WW Comment - We’re not anti-Membership First. However, we are openly anti-stupid.
