She was hopeful that it could be reworked for next year.  She had thought that I would have spoken up in favor for the resolution.  However, due to the problems I was having with the FM system that Kurtis Chong had given me I did not clearly hear what the disagreements were from the floor on the general assembly, so I remained silent. But I truly appreciate all of Sharon Maneki's     support with grammer and revisions fro the resolutions.

I was disappointed because I really would have wanted to vote in the elections.
