Jason, I am not looking to get in an argument and I see your point. I can only speak for myself. I have only missed one TX since joining and that was Wheeler last month. That is because of a wedding anniversary, not because I was protesting which lake won the vote. I hate that place but would have fished if possible. Now with that said, when was the last non Tennessee lake you fished with us? And how many people can honestly say they will fish lakes they don't really want to from time to time, in order to help attendence at the TXs ? . I also don't think you can compare 1 month to the turnouts of the last several, especially when you look at the turnouts of the non Tennessee river lakes. There is a division among members.
The truth is we are divided, not united. There is a simple answer, You fish our backyard and we fish yours. Unfortunately it looks like we have let this simmer to the point of childish actions from 2 different points of view of, if I don't get my way, I ain't gonna play.

Some are asking for suggestions, mine is simple. Equal amount of river lakes to non river lakes and everyone make an effort to fish each one. It is really that simple.
