Thread Name: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
Subject: RE: Folk Alliance vs. NAACP
According to the local NAACP head here in Columbus, based on a noon news report from either CMH or TVN, I didn't notice what I was on.......Yet another suit is being considered at the local Adam's Mark. When the ball gets rolling............then again, if you walk like duck, etc.

Bill, I have never said I have all the details of this and I didn't buy off on the original post either. There is still much for us all to learn and I'm sure more to come out. It is obvious that certain things "seem" to be true based on what I have learned....although that too is biased I'm sure.

What I'm equally sure of is that the same was true in your time and five to ten years later in mine. We base our decisions on the best info available. I think the real question for those who have a stake in this such as Rick, is what is the role of the FA and am I willing to support them by crossing a picket line. I am the first to say it is not an easy choice

The Folk Alliance undoubtedly made a bad choice based on the track record of Adam's Mark. That is to say they made it hard on their members.......I can't see where they currently have any political thoughts whatsoever and until this blew up they would have been happy to support Adam's Mark.

So what happens down the road? Too early to tell and most of us have no stake in it because we either don't belong (for whatever reason) or are not truly involved. At this point though, strictly playing the speculation game and still trying to garner more information, I have a hard time finding the middle ground.
