Man, pilots are the stingy-est group of people I know.
Just pay the damn fees and get over it! We are not talking major fees here. I don't care if you disagree with policy, or don't like the president. The fact that you can vote is enough for me. Also as important, the fact that you get extra insurance coverage and other "in-case-!!!!t" benefits.
A lot of the guys I have talked to just haven't joined because they really don't give a damn. If that is the case, then you deserve what you get and have no right to complain about how it is handed to you.
So please stop arguing about stupid little percentages and dumb-ass excuses for not voting. You sound like a bunch of whinners arguing about pennies when it comes time to pay the check at a restaurant.
And make sure you give a buck to the driver on the overnights (I can't believe I actually have to tell people that!)
Even the cabin crew at my previous job would tip the van driver. And they where only making 17 USD/hour!
