Its Official - Michael Doran will run for the ANA Board in 2007
am pleased to announce to everyone here on the
rec.collecting.paper-money chat group that, as of today, Friday, December 1, 2006, I will be running for a seat on the Board of Governors of the American Numismatic Association for the 2007-2009 term. I have had a number of people approach me on this and I have also discussed it with my wife Donna and my friends in the coin collector and dealer community. I felt that, after weighing the pros and cons, that the time was right to venture into what may be the toughest election that I have ever got involved in. Some of you here in this group will make comments, and you're welcome to do so, whether good or bad. Please read the press release, which will be printed in all of the Krause numismatic periodicals and in Coin World soon. Thank you, God bless you, and wish me the best of luck. ------PRESS RELEASE - BEGIN ----- Greetings Everyone, In the last year and one-half, America's largest coin club, the American Numismatic Association, or the ANA as it is called, has been in the press for less than positive reasons. A board member removal, firings, secret closed door meetings, and now, controversial changes to the bylaws has some within the membership concerned. As a life member, I am every bit as concerned about the happenings in Colorado Springs as you are, and I feel that the current ANA leadership is dragging the association down a slippery slope. In 2005, we elected the current leadership to their respective offices with the understanding that they will serve the hobby in its best interests. Unfortunately, with all the aforementioned controversies, they have failed, and let the membership down. A positive change is needed in the ANA, and, with new board members and officers fresh with new ideas that are free from petty politics, these changes will be possible. The ANA must be more transparent and open. It must treat its members and clubs with the utmost respect. And most importantly, the ANA must return to its number one purpose - to promote the knowledge, study, and science of the numismatic hobby. For these reasons and upon the suggestions from my wife, Donna, and my friends in the hobby, I am formally announcing that I am running for a seat on the Board of Governors of the ANA for the 2007-2009 term. I know that this election will not be easy, and I know that I will have my supporters giving me plenty of praise while there are those who support my opponents will only focus on the negative. I am prepared for that. But I will never, ever resort to similar tactics that some people have done in past elections. A positive message weighs much more to people than a negative one. I will be having a campaign website up and running by January 1, 2007 or sooner. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the campaign and to be informed when the campaign website is open, please feel free to e-mail me at or write to Michael Doran, P.O. Box 30, Greenup, Illinois 62428-0030. This summer, vote for positive change in Colorado Springs. Elect Michael Doran for the ANA Board of Governors - because "It's Time For A Change!" Thank you and God bless everyone. |

Billy note.boy - I believe that the last sentence you referred to has no effect on whether the members of the ANA will vote for or against me. And I am not a con man - I work for a living and live an average middle class lifestyle like anyone else. Simple as that! |

If I was member of the ANA the use of that sentence by you would mean that even if I considered you to be the best candidate I would not vote for you. I suggest that you drop it. Billy |
