Brother Dale,

You and I both know it will never change here. Too many have strong feels of hate and the District lecturers control who gets in line for Grand officers. As long as complete control of the elections are in their hands they will perpetuate the same thought process.

The annual communications are a farce. Each and every member of the GL of AL already knows who will be GM next and who will be GM in 2010 and 2012.
Why hold elections at all? Does anyone offer another choice from the floor? The GM would never allow it to happen, tyranny reigns supreme within the GL of AL change from within? Maybe in 30 or 40 years.

It will take other GL's to pass resolutions condemning Alabama for it to change sooner.

What would happen if a Black GL officer from another jurisdiction was in Alabama and he decided he would visit a lodge and he is refused? What then? Will his GL continue to look the other way?
This racist stand that the GL of AL continues will one day blow up into a problem of unknown magnitude.
