I posted the following on JPFO's Facebook page (it is awaiting "approval"- can you say "snowball's chance in Hell"? I hope I'm wrong- we shall see...)
ADDED: just found out the person who runs the JPFO Facebook page has an actual LIFE and doesn't just sit around waiting for people like me to post stuff. Amazing! ;) And, Thanks!
I have been a LIFE member of JPFO for several years. I have never been wealthy, and it was very hard to scrape up the dues, but I did so because of the "no-compromise" position Aaron [Zelman] and JPFO held.
So it pains me, but if the deal with Alan Gottlieb's SAF goes through I will publicly and loudly renounce my membership on my blog to all my readers. And I will tell everyone I know why I felt forced to do so.
There is an alternate plan, one which respects Aaron's legacy and my wishes for the group. JPFO doesn't have to be destroyed. It can be saved. Do it, because it's the right thing to do.
Now I will forward this to JPFO's board of directors. Why not put in your "2 cents", too?

UPDATE: Yep. It was The End.

And now, my friend, you know why I never, ever, join "groups" or "movements". There is no group anywhere, ever, that is worthy of your time and effort. All groups and movements (unless they're totally ineffective) will in time be co-opted.

Oh, I know why. And I no longer join groups.
