I think it's important to support the ARRL. The publications, event-management, and advocacy are extremely valuable to amateur radio. But a vote for new leadership is one way of supporting the ARRL, and a far better decision than simply cancelling one's membership. I know most of the signatories of the letter and they are all bright and thoughtful people. It's also cool to have Perens involved, since he's a celebrity outside amateur radio. I believe he has a quad antenna visible on his rooftop in the Berkeley hills.
