Hey Dennis....Please include this East Coaster as one who is 100% for a
CW subband.
Look carefully at the negative commenters calls.....mostly Senile
Citizens, and SSB only ops who rarely have a clue how to work DX.  These
are generally the same bunch who regularly QRM  the real DX  on either
mode. 
Did you not expect the "opposition" to show up here eventually? Getting a
band change will be a major uphill battle, and dont ever forget that. 
Keep pushing, writing and whatever else it takes to get League support.
That is only the first step.
I couldnt make Dayton this year but I am VERY dissapointed to hear that
our "exalted leaders" on Topband did not make it an issue at the dinner.
All I have read is a bunch of "feel good" chaff. Profound apologies to
any and all if I am wrong.
