I have to agree with the local/national split within TU. As much as the national's recent money grab burns me, I'm still a member because I know that it's still doing some kind of good. I also believe that it's cyclical and that there are plenty of people like me who go to our local meetings and post to bullitin boards and gripe about the problem in both places. At some point, the national will be forced to change their practices or face declining membership. If I maintain my membership, I can talk to my chapter's representative to the state council who can in turn relay the pressure to the national. If I let my membership drop, I lose that voice.
