[Nfbf-l] Important: Submitted for yourApproval --ProposedConstitutional Amendment.

[Kathy Roskos]

I have to agree that secret ballot is the way to go on this.  As Kathy Davis 
pointed out, aren't we the organization that has fought so hard for the 
right to cast our votes in complete privacy?  Why shouldn't that apply to 
these elections as well?

>>I think we should drop the secret ballot thing. Maybe we could request
