I have emailed the board directly with a screen capture of a survey I conducted on the group "Speech Pathologists at Large" (facebook SLP group).  The poll in question was titled, "Do you think that your state licensure should be contingent upon your membership to ASHA?"  The response choices were "Yes," "No," and "Not sure."  Of 361 respondents, 96% responded with "No," with two percent responding with both "Yes" and "Not sure."  Creating a poll was a quick and easy way to gauge SLPs' stance on this without them needing to take the time to fill out a comment on a petition.  Please see the email I sent you all to view the results directly yourselves.  Thank you, Suzanne
