Joe, my reforms are primarily consumer oriented. Those reforms could have an adverse effect on a significant number of polygraph practitioners, on different levels.
Think of it this way... The Credit CARD Act of 2009 helped consumers immensely, but many banks felt a lot of pain. Was it the right thing to do? Absolutely. My reforms are similar in spirit.
The nomination process for APA officers occurs during the month of May. My opponent(s) for the race for president-elect will be known soon after that.
Finally, I do not seek -- nor do I want -- your endorsement. You are radioactive within the polygraph industry.
It's hard to argue with that final fact, I am radioactive in this industry. This is something you may actually want to tell yourself too. Because if it can happen to me what I had proof of what I was saying, they can do it to you for much less. The good part about that, people are finally looking at the truth in my case. People are also starting to see, as they meet and talk to me, that I am not the person, some portrayed me as; and that my intentions were not as nefarious as people would have them believe.
Sadly, I see that I gave people the ammunition in 2008, to believe I was that person. That part is on me. I let my anger and disgust get the best of me, and I became very short sighted. I would like to see you avoid that, and achieve your political goals. You're not going to be able to do that with your current insurgency platform.
This is an election, one where the polygraph examiners will be the voters, and you seem to think the consumer with be the reason you'll win. Newsflash, the consumer is not going to help you win the election. Some of the things you say may win business in the private market, but it will not win you votes for what you are attempting.
You have to convince members of the APA to vote for you. simple as that, and you are not going to be able to do that, when you send a message of destruction.
But hey, you want to assume, I am trying to vet you for my endorsement; well go ahead. Fact is, I am just trying to steer you into a direction where you do not become the next me; which you are on your way to becoming.
Anyway.... {Casino hands}, I'm out. Have fun with your insurgency; it won't win you the election.
