Some suggested constitutional amendments...
1, We admitted we were powerless over the global financial meltdown and that our lives had become unmanageable.
2, Came to believe that a customer richer than ourselves could restore us to profitability.
3,Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to a credit broker/banker/welfare officer.
4, Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our barking spiders.
5, Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another framing professional the exact nature of our markups.
6, Were entirely ready to have God remove all defects of materials.
7, Humbly asked Him to remove our PITA customers.
8, Made a list of all persons we had accidentally undercharged, and became willing to add extras to all their new orders.
9, Made direct amendments to our workshop machinery wherever possible, except when to do so would break them or injure others.
10,Continued to take mountboard inventory and when we were overstocked promptly admitted it.
11, Sought through websites and advertising to improve our conscious contact with customers as we understood them, praying only for knowledge of their wallet size, and the power to get the cash out.
12, Having had a fiscal awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to
