    Once again (this is getting scary, Heidi) I am in total agreement.  I will 
    have to vote "No" as well.  The Family Membership is vital to planting firm 
    roots if the organization is to grow.  Find 'em young and hook 'em early and 
    they will be members for life.  Making it easier for adults to get their 
    children involved really makes sense for the long term health of the 
    organization.  As for resident aliens, I can see no good reason why anyone 
    here in the US legally should be denied full participating membership.  Has 
    there been any rationale offered for these changes?  I'd love to hear it, but 
    in the meantime, I am voting "No."
