Looks like he played his last Trump card and lost.
The club, he is looking for, already exsists. It is PI. All the rules and
selectives he is looking for, can be found there. He should just buy the
club.

-- POCA Members,
You should know that as a result of the illegal coup "masterminded" by
Ed Mendez, Joe Stockett, John Buckman, Judith McCartney and Bob Reid,
your club has lost or will soon be losing its President (me) Mike
Burnett (Vice President) and Profiles' new Editor Laurie Basile.
This was done against all by-laws, State of California Corp and
association laws and US Federal Laws.
In a series of meetings over the last week it was planned in efforts
led by John Buckman, it appears Mr. Mendez was directly responsible for
shutting down and removing me from the very website I created,
[1]poca.com. When it was brought back online, I discovered I banned
from using it. Mr. Mendez also removed me from the Survey Monkey
account which was secured with my credit card and he has removed me
from every active Facebook account. You will notice that Mr. Stockett
is now listed on the President's Blog as being in charge. Mr. Reid did
his best to stop all ongoing business with our vendors, including
stopping your new plastic membership cards from being mailed out. If
there is any doubt to any of this I have emails from all concerned.
Your coup committee is having a meeting on Thursday evening via
teleconference, I urge you to listen in.
All Hail the new leaders of POCA who have usurped the bylaws, ignored
the membership and taken control of your club and its $100,000 bank
account.
Just as an aside, the survey I sent out was limited to 100 responses
because it was a trial account instead of the one I formerly used, it
indicated a 75% approval rating for us, your deposed legal elected
leadership, if you were to remove the known haters who caused our
issues, the actual result was 92% approval. As you can imagine, as the
usurped leadership, Michael Burnett and I were caught completely off
guard. I had been busy last week ensuring that your new cards were
being properly made, shipped out and ensuring new merchandise for the
POCA store was been delivered. We were doing our job while these five
conspired against us and you the club members.
POCA is plagued with a dozen or so deeply toxic members who
constantly, in a coordinated effort email, slander, libel, lie, cheat,
and harass the leadership. You would all do yourselves a favor to rid
your club of the following people, if these few people were not in
POCA, the unrest and conflict which has spread like cancer to the weak
minded members on the BOD would have never existed.

As for me, I am leaving office soon after the best three nights of
sleep I have had in 8 months, secure in the knowledge that I gave more
than 110% and did more for the club in visible changes and improvements
than has been done in the last twenty years. It is unfortunate that so
few, so afraid of change could affect so many who embrace a brighter
future.
I worked to stop the graft, the overpayments, the waste and tried to
remove the nasty and mean spiritedness that remain prevalent within
POCA. We grew the club to a modern new record size of members, for the
newer members I feel directly responsible for drawing you into this
toxic mess, I'm sorry. This was supposed to be fun, this was supposed
to be about the cars, this was supposed to be about using my skill sets
to elevate and polish POCA into a real car club and drag it out of the
1980's into a bright new future. A job that was being done, step by
step, month after month.
I have been contacted by many, many, members, vendors, suppliers and
other influential people within the Detomaso community and asked to
offer an alternative club like experience to owners, one which will be
fun and revolve around the cars, not personalities, not drinking, not
gossip. Just good people who want to enjoy their car with others who
share the same passion. In the last two days I have been very busy
planning, there has been nothing but massive support offered. Rest
assured we will be selective who is allowed to join, no trouble makers,
no drama folks, just those who want to play with cars and be nice to
each other. There is no reason we cannot be more like the Ferrari Club
which is event driven, the Porsche Club, the BMW club, etc. We will
honor all things DeTomaso, Tom Tjaarda, Ford and the people who own
them. If you want to learn more about this new opportunity, please
