Subject: PRINCIPLES ABOVE PERSONALITIES

THE AMERICAN BULL BREED ASSOCIATION (ABBA) WAS FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT ALL VOICES MATTERED...THAT THE COMCEPT OF PRINCIPLES ABOVE PERSONALITIES WAS PARAMOUNT TO OUR SUCCESS AS A GRASSROOTS OPERATION, AND THAT LACK OF THAT CONCEPT WAS WHAT MADE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS LOSE MEMBERS AND MEMBERS RESPECT.

INFLAMATORY STATEMENTS, INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS, DERROGATORY STATEMENTS ABOUT ANYONE ARE NOT TO BE TOLERATED ON THIS BOARD OR IN OUR MEETING PLACE.

THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE WATCHING US, SOME WHO WOULD LOVE US TO FOLD AND GO AWAY BUT, THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHEN PEGGY AND I DECIDED TO MAKE ABBA A REALITY IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SHEER FRUSTRATION THAT THERE WAS NO ENTITY BESIDE ADOA AND PERHAPS 1 OR 2 OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT APPEARED TO BE DOING ANYTHING TO FIGHT FOR OUR DOGS.
OUR VISION WAS OF A DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION WITH NO HIERARCHY (OFFICERS BOARD MEMBERS) HAS MATERIALIZED AND WE HAVE THE CREAM OF THE CROP AS MEMBERS...WORKERS, IDEA MAKERS, PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THROUGH, TAKE INITIATIVE TO DO THINGS RIGHT..WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE! THAT IS OUR MEMBERSHIP, SMALL BUT POWERFUL. WE HAVE GAINED THE RESPECT OF MANY PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS AND BY GOD THAT RESPECT IS GOING TO REMAIN AS WILL ABBA ITSELF.

PRINCIPLES ABOVE PERSONALITIES WILL STEER THIS GROUP AND IF ANYONE DOES NOT ACCEPT THIS CONCEPT THEY NEED TO JOIN ANOTHER ORGANIZATION.

ARGUMENTS, DISCUSSIONS OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE ARE ALL HERE FOR AND DERROGATORY COMMENTS BELONG ON OUR PERSONAL E-MAILS AND/OR IM.

YOU ALL KNOW HOW OUTSPOKEN I AM AND I AM TELLING YOU ALL I LOVE THE BOOT CONCEPT AND WILL NOT HESITATE TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO USE IT TO PRESERVE WHAT WE HAVE ALL WORKED HARD TO BULD.

I AM PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF ABBA AND TO KNOW ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE MET SINCE THIS ORGANIZATION CAME TOGETHER IN JULY.....THANKS TO ALL FOR MAKING A DREAM COME TRUE...LETS KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
