   ARTICLE III    MEMBERS

   Section 1.  Classification of Members:

   There shall be three (3) classes of members of the Club; Regular
   members, Associate members, and Honorary members, which are defined as
   follows:

   (a)     Regular Members:  The Regular members of the Club shall consist
   of those persons who have an interest in the furtherance of the
   DeTomaso marque and DeTomaso automobiles.  Each Regular member shall
   have equal voting rights, and each Regular member in good standing
   shall have one vote.

   (b)    Associate Members:  The spouse of a Regular member, or one (1)
   other person designated by the Regular member shall be Associate

   resides in the same household with the Regular member, resides in an
   educational institution of higher learning, or is in the armed forces.

     Written somewhat tongue in cheek, but the POCA voting debaucle does
   not
     want to die. A member effectively gets two votes if he/she regsiters
   an
     associate for the same one entry fee; IMO either update the Associate
     Member register with contact details to ensure one person gets one
   vote
     or restrict voting to fully paid up primary members only.
     So California gives illegals driving licenses and now there's no
     requirment to prove US Citizenship to vote....Hmmmmmm
     I suspect on the subject of a US Citizenship test I could outperform
     many CItizens....

     Larry -
     actually, most US Polticians' view of US election voting policy is

     something like - "Citizens can (unless we disenfranchise them through
     new voting regulations) vote for whoever they want. The guys who send
     me money will control what I do and for whom."
