To get a motion on the floor simply write it out and hand it to the
secretary. It will be taken up last in the meeting.

Or, you can do what happened last year which is somebody first got it
passed at the membership meeting before I had arrived. This is how a
by-laws change got passed last year requiring me to spend 100 words in
my candidates statement explaining my child custody case.

The maker of the motion, Howard Cohen, later told me that he had been
told that I was convicted of child molestation. He has aghast when he
found out that my actual case was a child custody case. However, by
then the by-laws change had been passed.

I personally agree that full members should be allowed to vote even
though they live outside the United States. I also believe that even
children should be allowed to vote provided that they pay the FULL $41
regular dues. If that were the rule, I would buy regular memberships
for all eight of my kids.

You have no money, so how could you afford the $328? And if this was
allowed, I'd buy memberships for my entire family, dogs, kids, just so
I can vote multiple times for anyone else besides Scum Sloan.

"Chess Freak" I'd buy memberships for my entire family, dogs, kids, just so

You really are obsessed. I think Sloan could legally get a Restraining Order
against you after at least two years of your public rants.

Stop stalking me, fag. I'm not interested in 65 year old men
who live with their mommys. And I think you are confusing me with
Marcus Roberts.

"Chess Freak" I think you are confusing me with Marcus Roberts.


Marcus Roberts is the big black guy with the giant schlong. You are the
little white guy with the tiny wee-wee.

This comment seems to sum up the intelligence of the average American chess
player. Morons.

"Terry" This comment seems to sum up the intelligence of the average

That's why I quit the USCF as soon as they sent me my membership
certificate. Any organization that would have me has to be morally,
ethically, and intellectually bankrupt.

I am not black, but I am only a virtual black (unaccredited) FIDE
Delegate from St Kitts and Nevis. I don't even get to vote, unless our
Prime Minster really gets upset with the last emergency memo his press
secretary told me action was soon coming.

I do have a moderately sized schlong. However, my wallet is far bigger

SAM SLOAN

April Chess Life:

Ever since I took office last August, I have fulfilled or tried to
fulfill every campaign promise I made. I have tried to determine why
the USCF lost two million dollars in past years. I have exposed
payments made by board members to their political allies. I have in
most cases (but not in all cases) stopped wasteful expenditures. Most
importantly, I have opened the doors to the inner sanctum and exposed
political deals and secrets which are not secret anymore.

Tremendous efforts were made to stop me from taking the office to
which I had been elected. Efforts have been made to censure me, to
reprimand me, and to recall me. Big bucks are going to be spent this
year to stop me from being re-elected, and for good reason. It is up
to you, the voters, to decide whether you want to return to the
politics of secrecy, whether you want the door that I have opened to
be slammed shut again.

The delegates, in their wisdom, have voted to give me 100 words to
explain my court case in Virginia. I have eight children. One of them
is Shamema, whom many of you met when I used to bring her to
international chess tournaments. When Shamema was eight years old, she
was kidnapped by persons unrelated to us and taken to Virginia. When I
came to Virginia to try to rescue my kidnapped daughter, I was
immediately arrested, tried and convicted of attempted abduction of my
daughter.

Editor's comment: Sloan has not "exposed payments made by board
members to their political allies," nor have there been any such
payments. I am not aware of any expenditures that he has stopped. As
for exposing "political deals and secrets," he has posted a lot of
misinformation such as charging that "virtually all USCF financial
records have been destroyed" when virtually none were destroyed,
Polgar Chess Club tournaments were "re-rated for political reasons"
when there is not a shred of evidence that any such thing happened,
two Executive Board candidates were allowed to run in 2005 without
paying filing fees when it is clear that they paid these fees, and
many other whoppers.

Regarding Sloan's criminal record, note that the "kidnappers" he
complains about had originally been hired by Sloan to care for his
daughter and continued to do so for two and a half years after his
payments to them ceased. Also, Sloan violated a court order by
removing his daughter from New York in 1982, then did the same with
Virginia in 1986, was jailed for the latter in Virginia in 1990, and
then attempted to abduct his daughter during a supervised visit in
Virginia in 1991. The court order awarding custody to the
"kidnappers" stated in part, "Mr. and Mrs. Charles Roberts have raised
the child in a stable normal middle class lifestyle and the child is
thriving well in school. They have developed a close relationship...
and she views them as her parents. Shamema indicated to the court her
desire to live with Mr. and Mrs. Roberts and that she did not wish to
see Mr. Sloan." Also, "On September 5, 1991 while Shamema was
visiting Mr. Sloan under the supervision of Mr. Rick Groff of the
Amherst County Department of Social Services, Mr. Sloan tried to leave
with her running to a rental car which he had parked near her home.
In his posession were airplane tickets to Japan and the child's
passport. The child ran from him to Mr. Groff's vehicle and locked
herself in the vehicle. Mr. Sloan was arrested and charged with
abduction in the City of Lynchburg." SEE LINKS BELOW.


May Chess Life:

Ever since I took office last August, I have fulfilled or tried my
best to fulfill every campaign promise I made. I have started an
investigation into how the USCF lost two million dollars. I have
exposed payments made by board members to their political allies. I
have in most cases (but not in all cases) stopped wasteful and
ridiculous expenditures.

Tremendous efforts were made to stop me from taking the office to
which I had been elected. Efforts have been made to censure me, to
reprimand me, to recall me. Big bucks are going to be spent this year
to stop me from being re-elected. It is up to you, the voters, to
decide whether you want to return to the politics of secrecy, whether
you want the door that I have opened to be slammed shut again.

Finances

Prior to the current year, the USCF lost two million dollars since
1999. We keeping being told: "Prosperity is just around the corner".
So far in the first eight months of the current fiscal year, the
USCF has lost a reported $241,682. I believe the true amount is
higher. We are told that we will make it all back in the Super
Nationals in the Spring and will just about break even for the year.
I do not believe it.

I have become the watchdog on the finances. I have consistently voted
against needless expenditures. I have stopped aimless boondoggles.


The Board Vote to Censure Me

When I demonstrated that a board member had rigged his own rating by
submitting fraudulent rating reports involving fictitious players,
causing him to resign, and when I notified the membership that the
USCF had no money and no sponsor to hold the US Championship, the
board voted to censure me the next day for telling the truth. It is up
to the voters to
decide whether they want the Official Secrets of the USCF to remain
secret.

Scholastic Chess

I have a specific plan to bring in one million scholastic members by
2009. My plan is right now being tested in two elementary schools. So
far the results seem promising. If this test program is successful we
plan to expand it nationwide.

One million scholastic members is not unrealistic when you consider
all the millions of kids who play Grand Theft Auto and other video
games which cost more than USCF membership.

US Championship

I am opposed to qualifier tournaments allowing otherwise unqualified
players to get into the US Championship. I am opposed to allowing
players to buy their way into the US Championship.

Do you want your chess federation to continue on its downward spiral?
My detractors and opponents say that I am too extreme. "I would
remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!" Would
you rather have a board member who looks the other way, or the back-
scratching board members we now have who prefer to overlook the
serious problems the USCF is now facing?

Editor's comment: It is misleading to claim great losses in the
current fiscal year based on an eight month figure, as USCF is a
seasonal business and the first four months (June-Sept) are the
weakest. Prior to joining the Executive Board, Sloan did file an
Ethics Committee complaint that resulted in the resignation of Robert
Tanner from the board due to rating manipulation that occurred about
14 years before. The board censured Sloan twice, first for falsely
posting that board candidates had been permitted to run without paying
filing fees as well as insulting language and attacking a sponsor, and
the second time for posting a pornographic link and associating it
with a sponsor.

Sloan's "scholastic chess plan" is utter nonsense. USCF is
experimenting with a bulk membership plan in a few school districts,
not a few schools, and Sloan had nothing to do with beginning this
plan.

Regarding Sloan being "opposed to allowing players to buy their way
into the US Championship," that is not what he wrote on March 5, when
the board discussed this issue. He said, "I think we should be very
careful about this. I do not think we should advertise this in Chess
Life." He then mentioned the names of two promising young players and
wrote, "I think these players should be contacted privately and
offered these opportunities, avoiding an ad in Chess Life." Of
course, many would complain that making private deals with players
rather than a public announcement offering standard conditions for all
would be improper.

The Federation is not on a "downward spiral." In the past seven months
(9/1/06 through 3/31/07), USCF has enjoyed the second largest
membership increase of any seven month period in its entire history
(6016 members gained), and the largest gain of adult members (494) of
any seven month period in twelve years. Our total membership of
84,495 is the highest in almost three years.

June Chess Life:

I played in my First USCF Rated Tournament, the North Carolina Open,
in 1956. As a tournament player for more than 50 years, just about
everybody in chess knows me or has heard my name.

The USCF has annual revenues of $3.2 million, down from $6.5 million
at its peak. $3.2 million is enough for us to live very well. Yet, the
USCF has lost money for 9 of the last 11 years. There is no excuse for
this!

Since I was elected to the board, I have been fulfilling a campaign
promise to examine the books and records in detail to find out how and
why we lost this money. I have exposed corruption and improper
payments. One board member was forced to resign because of my
discoveries.

I have opened doors to the inner sanctum, revealing secrets the
insiders did not want revealed. I have received an award for "Shining
Light on the United States Chess Federation 2007".

I have only one vote on the board. I have not been able to stop the
improper payments and the financial hemorrhaging. Optimists on the
board say we will lose ONLY $50,000 this year. I say unless immediate
measures are taken, we will lose AT LEAST $150,000 and possibly
considerably more.

In meetings with the board, I have consistently advocated specific
changes that must be made RIGHT NOW to stop losses by increasing
revenues and reducing expenses. Other board members say it is
POLITICALLY UNACCEPTABLE to make any changes now and this must wait
until after the election.

AFTER THE ELECTION will be too late!!

I am a man of action. Everybody who knows me will tell you I get
things done. Two things we need to do are expand scholastic chess and
elderly chess. As people age, they want to keep their minds active.
Tournament chess would be an ideal way to help them accomplish this.
The baby boomers are a vast pool of potential members.

You will have seen strident attacks by some of my election opponents
and their anonymous Internet trolls. You should ask yourself, "Why do
all these people keep attacking Sam Sloan? Is it because he really is
one of the worst people in the world, or is it because, since he was
elected last year, their gravy train has slowed?"

Most of the other candidates and continuing board members are
insiders, the same people who were there when the USCF lost $2
million. Are you going to keep them there or return them to power? Are
you going to believe they will bring prosperity to the USCF, when
their actual record is one of milking the membership funds for their
own benefit?

I have specific plans and programs which I believe will bring
prosperity back to the USCF. I am available by phone or email to
discuss this any time. Are you going to give the USCF a chance to
prove that it can be done? Are you going to return control of your
federation to the same crusty curmudgeons who lost the $2 million in
the first place?

The delegates have voted to give me 100 words to explain my case in
Virginia. I have eight children. One of them is Shamema, whom many of
you met when I brought her to international chess tournaments. When
Shamema was eight years old, she was kidnapped by persons unrelated to
us and taken to Virginia. When I came to Virginia to try to rescue my
kidnapped daughter, I was arrested, tried and convicted of attempted
abduction of my daughter and failure to appear for trial.

Editor's comment: USCF has lost money 8 of the last 10 years (not 9 of
11), but since the end of May, 2003 we have GAINED well over
$500,000. Sloan has exposed no improper payments. The "Shining Light
Award" is not a USCF award, never existed before, and was provided by
Sloan's most prominent political supporter. I also support reducing
expenses, but it is very unlikely that we will lose $150,000 or more
this year.

Sloan's charges of a "gravy train" and "milking the membership funds"
are unsupported and outrageous. Sloan's reckless charges and the
sexual content of the samsloan.com website have hurt the image of
USCF, and cost us at least one major sponsor during the past year.

Sam Sloan may mean well, and he may really believe that he is exposing
corruption and saving the Federation, but it is a disgrace for USCF to
have on its Executive Board a person who has made so many false
charges and attacked so many people. Please see the links below, and
