URGENT! USCF EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTION
by Bill Goichberg

            Please vote in this crucial election for four members of the seven person USCF Executive Board.  Ballots are in the June 2009 issue of Chess Life and the TLA Newsletter.
            The Board currently includes a member who has sued USCF, the organization she has a fiduciary duty to support and protect, for $25 million (later reduced to $10 million), a lawsuit I believe is totally without  merit.  Her husband, who has refused to deny under oath charges that he made many anonymous and defamatory internet posts, is also on the Board.  If two candidates are elected who support or tolerate the outrageous conduct of these two, I believe that the Federation will be in great peril.  See www.uschess.org/legalupdates for details regarding current USCF legal problems

            See www.checkmate.us for election details.  I am a candidate for re-election to the Board, but am not eligible to continue as President due to a term limit.  The Board elects the President, so with the support of just two more Board members, the next USCF President could be someone who has an active lawsuit against the Federation which, if successful, would bankrupt the organization!  Don't let this happen! Please vote for BILL GOICHBERG, JIM BERRY, RUTH HARING, AND MIKE ATKINS.
