“Thank you Maxford! That was exactly what I was concerned about. I really appreciate what your organization is doing, and I wish more of my coworkers were willing to opt out. We've had some unheard of legal arguments happening lately and it all seems to be "money driven". So, I feel now I've taken my horse out of that race, and they can fight over everyone else's money. Personally, I'm investing mine dues and should have an extra $10k in my retirement account. Much appreciated!”
