I could give a rat's behind if the US participates or not. That is up to 
the USEF.  I would just prefer if the AERC completely and absolutely cut 
all ties with the USEF to include eliminating joint sanctioning of FEI 
rides in the US.

I am not a member of USEF of FEI so I have no dog in that fight. I, 
however, am a member of the AERC. It's time for the AERC to cut the cord 
IMO.
