Faye,
I went to the site and still did not find the answer to my question. If a person
has the lineage and documentation necessary to be a member of the DAR, why do
they have to
be voted on? If said it would not discriminate because of creed or race. So my
question
is, what do they discriminate against as it is obvious that they do if a person
has to be voted on? Do they have to be rich, a prominent person, or what?
