Can we catch an opportunity?

Friends,

If the CAO leadership could indicate to the ODOC leadership that it was

willing to abide by the three elements of unified action highlighted by

Dr. Pedersen from the NJ/NY article, then the timely ODOC Conference on

unity might bring forward some real progress. Mediation could follow

among principles, then ratification by statewide participants could

establish new ground rules.

" This required that all members had to respect the viewpoints of all

others, and meant that philosophical and practice tolerance became

another major key to the unification process. " In order to make unity a

reality, each organization had to make sacrifices. * All of the

organizations gave up their ability to independently pursue legislative

and regulatory goals,

* their ability to independently generate income for political

purposes,

* and their ability to independently set their own political agenda. "

I agree with your sacrifices that each group would have to make. Colleagues, does it make any sense whatsoever to pursue legislation that the majority of the profession does NOT agree with? I believe it's really that simple.
