as an associate member, dare I say "we"?--

Damn well should. Never understood why people feel associates have anything less vested in the organization than active members.

I've long wondered if it was too late for SFWA, but didn't want to wade into the "trash it, start again" debate (the requal debate came close to breaking me, as it is). Even if we win this election, there's a long hard road ahead and I'm not sure SFWA can walk it.
