Ok......this is for all who want to vote on the resolutions for the new articles....
I am 100% against these articles because they take the balance of power away from the members. I want the right to vote for the CPSA Chairman....as I have had for the last 25+ years.
I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST these articles.
I have completed my form below as an example of an 'OPEN' no vote..!!
Please do not throw away your form which comes in the white envelope containing your Pull magazine.
Apathy is killing our association and rights.....use your vote one way or another.....PLEASE...!!
1. It is essential that you cross out the two lines that allow the Chair to have anything at all to do with your vote.....because he is 'for' the resolution. (See the two thick black lines on my form). By crossing these two lines out he will not be able to use your vote on anything ELSE that may come up at the meeting. He does not know you...so how can he vote for you????
2. It is essential now that at the next bit, on the second part of the form, that you complete the name of your proxy holder. This is 'NOT' a ballot..! If you do not have a name completed your vote is then void and will not be counted...!!
You will see on my form that I entered the name of the Kent Committee Chairman Mr T Greenwood....and his Cpsa number 82758.
I have spoken to him and he is happy for anyone who does not have a proxy holder or know a person going to the EGM....to use his details. He will carry your proxy. So you can copy these details to your form. Can you please take a photo of your form when completed and send it to me on here.....so i can send it on to him. it is important that he knows how many and who he is carrying proxies for, so that at the EGM he can check against HQ's records....before the vote...to check that the numbers tally.
Note.
If you want him only to be able to carry your proxy on the resolution only....and not to be able to use your vote for anything else that may arise at the EGM ....then you can cross out the line in the section below his name that says.....'My proxy may vote or abstain on any ancillary or procedural resolutions put to the meeting'.
You will see that I have left this open on my form because I trust him and have the same views as him.
3. You have to make a vote . If you are against these article put a cross in the box labelled 'AGAINST'
4. Now finally you have to sign and date it and post it ......FREE....back to HQ......(after you have sent me a photo to pass on to him for listing ....please..) When you take a photo you can cover your address like I have done in the attached picture to keep confidentiality.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to vote 'NO' with the filling in of the form.
Please do not waste your vote....!!
