Alert to All ATU Members

            I am getting emails from members that have forwarded me an email that Brother Jon Hunt sent to them. I find this very interesting that Brother Hunt did not send that same email to me. I am just learning about it as members forward it to me commenting. Currently Brother Hunt has intimidated one member to request to withdraw their signature from the filing and this will be honored. If anyone wants to withdraw their signature from the filing they are able to do so. To be on the safe side I would recommend writing your request to withdraw your signature and submitting it to whatever officer you feel comfortable with.

            I understand this has become a very difficult and frustrating event. To be honest I did not anticipate that intimidation would be used on members who signed the filing. I was ready for the actions to be performed on me but not on you guys. I am very sorry for you having to go through that and I completely understanding you wanting to withdraw your signatures. I have informed international of these actions and if you feel comfortable I would like to request that you take a moment and write

            Take a moment to tell him about your experiences about this event. He is aware of some of the actions that are taking place and the more information he is able to collect the better picture he will be able to develop.

Here is the email Brother Jon Hunt sent to some members and not to me:

Brother Day,

If the people who signed their names don’t agree with your charges against Sister Fox why did they sign their names? Did you not show them the charges? What were they signing their names for if not to express their opinion that the charges have enough validity that they should be aired in a meeting, in public?  Are you saying Sister Fox has no right to know who is accusing her? That is such a basic tenant of justice that I cannot understand your position. Nothing in the constitution says that people can be brought up on charges on the basis of secret signatures. And yes, you can’t control where that information goes once the charges are published. Neither can I. As you noted, only four other signatures besides your signature are necessary. If anyone is uncomfortable with having their name associated with these allegations then they need to remove their name. I suggest you talk to folks and reduce your list to four besides yourself. You still have time to do this. Again, let me know your decision.

Fraternally,

Jon Hunt

President

            As long as I have at least four (4) supports (that apparently need to be able to suffer through the heat with me) I will be able to continue my stand for other members and me. I do feel someone must do this and follow it all the way. I will continue to stay very public about it and keep everyone posted on all the actions.
