Wow, what is THIS about?  

A bunch of local wannabes (these people are not "officials"  --  read the list of names) have decided to interpose themselves between us and the people we actually do elect?  Why?

I don't need a spokesperson.  And if I did want one, I'd sure want to have some say in who they were and what they said.  

What will we do if this "North Olympic Legislative Alliance" says stuff none of us likes?  We had no voice in their choosing  --  and there's no way we can stop them from claiming we believe whatever they decide we should.

I also want this to stop  --  right now.  But because these people don't answer to the pubic, I can't think of a way any of us can affect what they do.  Except maybe to complain, loudly and with determination.
