I talked about in the orginal post. Its all up to the members if they want to be BASS members or not. Here is copy where I talked about this issue.

BNT members MUST be FLW members before 2/1/06. You will get a 25% discount from FLW for joining. Just go to the link below and use FEDERATION as your promo code. You can also call them and get this discount by telling them your with the Federation. You have to at least be a "standard" member to fish BNT. Here is the link to FLW's member info

If you wish to cancel your BASS Membership you can get refunded by calling them at (877)227-7872. Tell them your from California and are not happy with the support they are showing for the West Coast and the Federation. I recommend we all do this.
