Dear Art and Jack:
I was fortunate enough to have received a copy of the letter that former John Birch Society president and current National Council member, G. Allen Bubolz, forwarded to the other National Council members. I wholeheartedly support Mr. Bubolz’ suggestion for an independent full certified audit.
I am most upset in what has transpired over the past year and a half and continue to be very upset about the way a number of matters have been handled. I couldn’t disagree more with the actions taken to remove the prior administration.
I have been greatly concerned by the charges intimated that there might have been some financial irregularities. I also believe that the entire membership should be aware of the financial condition of the Society for the year 2005 up the time when the last administration left on October 21 and from that period to date, under the current administration.
I agree with Mr. Bubolz that a compilation or review will not suffice. I know the difference having worked many years in public accounting. A full certified audit should be undertaken immediately and the results will put to rest the accuracy or honesty of statements being thrown around the past many months.
I ask that you seriously and quickly act on his suggestion. The seriousness of accusations demands it and the membership are entitled to some honest independent information.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Casey
