As I read today's message AGAIN, and AGAIN..Sasha I must say to you and the other Board Members of EA who wrote this material that I am greatly disappointed things have come full circle to this. This style right here is what motivated me to speak up against the materials I received in my mail. I guess in a way I have to thank you for opening my eyes to the "EA's" new direction. It is one I will not miss walking away from if this how all the time and energies are going to be spent. What happens when a Dr. or someone else does not agree with you...Will you just shoot from the hip then too?

I have stated all along that Mary Lou Ballweg is not having me or anyone speak for her and does not need anyone to do that. I am a member who cares and was motivated by all publicity that put us "members" in such a position have to choose.

While we will all agree to disagree at this point, I would hope that you remember two special points that I am going to make here. I hope after all this you truly search your heart and soul and know that all you are saying and doing are in full agreement with the law and are being fair to all parties involved. I have tried to set the record straight with you several times now about who I am and my motives for this wonderful organization as a whole but you keep taking things in your own direction without fully listening to how this came about.

1. Somehow you took personal information as a Board Member and a high-ranking official and splattered attacks and personal information that should have really stayed in EA's boardroom. Now you may say, well Mary Lou and others did their own move, but you forget I chose to stand up, not her or anyone else to speak for me. What concerns me should you and your team win the election is what will you do for us in the end when things are not going your way? You say, "You shoot from the hip,” but a true professional just can't. You have to think things all the way through in thought and action and motivating factors.

I think it is great that you want to take the organization in a new direction, but we never heard pro's and cons only spins and attacks. (Moreover, I am not writing another response again to this after tonight) Let me say this simply and you can take it for what its worth and I mean this nicely...if you have all these resources and know how. Can you just start your own organization from scratch? If this EA is really running at a loss with membership and good people etc...PLEASE show & go make the difference.

2. Will the new EA write their own books? If so, how many new pieces of material can we expect to read within the next year? Will the new EA work diligently not to turn our membership names etc over to a research project but truly care about their members and employees without such vicious attacks and protect our privacy? Will you keep membership fees low with monthly newsletters, travel abroad, and honor us the ones who volunteer our time and energy daily to help other sufferers in spite of no recognition as we enjoy helping others? Don't say we have a "Vision" tell us what makes this new team so different. We are all here to listen.

I wish everyone well in this election. I am not a factious person. I would even offer to come up to meet this new board afterward, but I can tell already you have your agenda and the rest does not matter how the rest of us feels. It will matter someday because membership is either going to rise or decline. The truth will always prevail in the end. That in itself gives me great relief and joy.

I do hope the next time some organization holds you in high regard with their legal documents that you as a Leader and a high-ranking official know better than to “post from the hip” as you have. What happens in the boardroom should be hashed out between all of you in the boardroom and through all this, I have come to not like where EA is going with its style and tactics.

Good Luck to everyone! I will be back for other sister sufferers but I will NOT be re-hashing this topic again unless it is face to face and at the rate, it is going in the same room as legal representation.

Thanks to everyone for letting me voice my choice and for putting up with this longer than necessary. This was never my intention as I thought this was a site for support (it is a great one-don't get me wrong) I expected this type of feedback from other members but I never thought this site would be used by EA Board Members to voice such ugliness and hatred as you have.

Sincerely,
