LEAVING A VOLUNTEER JOB AND POSITION BECAUSE OF OPEN AND OUTWARD HATRED & ACTIONS TOWARD ME

I have values and beliefs.  I do not dislike people if they do not agree with my values and beliefs. But, members of the National Writers Union (NWU) outwardly expressed a tremendous dislike of me for several reasons:

1. I dislike Hillary – so what?  Millions of people don’t like Hillary, who cares. Does that mean we should hate them?
2. I don’t hate Trump.  I may not agree with everything that is done, but he’s my president, I respect the office.  I didn’t like Obama, but he was my president and I respect the office.
3. I am treated with disrespect for prejudicial reasons.
   1. Can it be that I am a white woman? 
   2. I am a senior citizen, in my 70s?
   3. I am not a Democrat?
   4. I may be smarter than one of them?
   5. I am disabled?
   6. Or is there other reasons that do not apply to the work I did for the union.
4. No, I am not fond of these people, but I do not dislike them, and I am saddened by their outward hatred for me. Fear and threats that are said or implied, and acted upon. The screaming and outward anger toward me has left me frightened for my life. They have led me to believe that I joined the National Writers Union for the wrong reasons.
5. How some people can hate, belittle, and outwardly be mean, then hold a door open for me is disgusting.  I don’t want their help or assistance because I am disabled.
6. I have come to every meeting possible, even with my disability because of my love for the NWU and what it was supposed to represent but obviously does not in this chapter. 
   • It does not respect all people for their race, creed, sex, and beliefs
   • They do not believe in individual rights and everyone is equal.
   • They single out people and abuse their rights with hatred and fearful actions, all under the guise of Rights and Freedoms with everyone being equal.
7. It is my belief that they have treated me with such disgust so they could have control of all the actions of the NY-Chapter.  They don’t have to like me, but they are supposed to treat everyone equally. Acting Treasurer after they get rid of me will probably be one of the gruesome threesome.
   1. It is obvious that they meet before every meeting as the conversations appear rehearsed and pre-designed when the meeting starts.
      
   2. They have removed all purposes of a Steering Committee of 9 (nine) members and expect to get their votes for what they want done. They now control everything.  I have stayed as a member of the Steering Committee to keep things open for discussion instead of deciding and demand of what the gruesome threesome want.
   3. They bend the rules to suit their ambitions and push for the results they want without proper authorization.  Never thinking of what is best for the union, but what is best for them and their ambitions.
8. Democracy does not exist in this chapter of the NWU. It is a very sad state of affairs. The outward hatred and out-of-control screaming at me has frightened me to no extent.

I am leaving as Treasurer of this chapter, Open MC of the NW Open Mic, and free assistance to all members marketing their books, publishing questions, and other matters relating to the publication and promotion of sales of their books.  I have worked for FREE to help defray the costs for many writers, planned events, worked hard at the events, and gone above and beyond any expectation of the organization.

It can only be for the reasons listed above that I have been treated with such disrespect, hatred, and anger.  I am frighted for my life,   I have never experienced such hatred in my life toward anyone as I have since I joined the NWU.

As a teenager, I was attacked and choked... Left for dead in the streets, but I have no hatred toward the person who did this.  I have no hatred toward the gruesome threesome, but I do have disrespect, anguish and pain from their actions.

I am very saddened and frightened.  I will continue to work to help writers who have the same standards as myself, but I will not help organizations exist that are run by people with no honest values, respect for others, and do not have true kindness without a hidden agenda..
