Activist Rank and File Committee of the United States Chess Federation for the Populist non-elitist democratic common interests of all rank and file members interested in chess, and chessplayers not the cheap commerciality, and vulgar versions currently in vogue.

We encourage an independent non-partisan activist role to the involvement of the masses of unaffiliated chess players as an alternative to the outrages of the elitist form organized chess has taken parasitical abuse of its members and programs. We believe that organized chess (especially in the United States has been the domain of elitist clicks too long. We Think dues nationwide should be reduced to cost.

We oppose the phony opposition within the U.S.C.F. as those elements are merely opportunists who don the garb of common folks at election time but who act as the "Don"s of chess 365 days a year in their corruption and ruin of local chess to the benefit of commercial chess.
