I'm not an AMSAT member so I have no dog in this fight. Just based on what I've read here - unauthorized expenses are not approved by the membership and having been President of a volunteer organization that experienced unauthorized expenses, I can tell you that spending money that is not yours and you are not authorized to spend is called EMBESSELMENT!!! It is illegal and should result in the removal of the parties involved and probably should require criminal charges to be pressed against them as well!
At the very least, this should be thoroughly investigated by a 3rd party and appropriate action taken!!
Just because you don't like the message being put out by those concerned about this situation, doesn't mean the situation should be ignored and covered up. Get over it and let the truth be revealed - ALL OF IT!!
DON'T re-elect parties that are operating illegally and DON'T throw out the parties that are reporting it, regardless of whether you agree or not. Let the facts speak for themselves!!!
7 3 and good luck!!

BTW folks, the BOD works for YOU, the GM. They should answer any and all questions openly, freely and honestly. It seems that the BOD is in stasis. Amsat is unable to move forward to meet its mission statement.
Now I have read that no Amsat money was used to employ the legal firm. I assume paperwork can be produced that will back up that statement.
Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side 73 de W3AB/GEO
