No every action taken does not have to be voted on, but the big decisions. The policy decisions that cause someone like Paige to call them a terrorist organization for actions like "obstructionist scare tactics the NEA's Washington lobbyists have employed against No Child Left Behind's historic education reforms." That "obstruction" is highly popular among teachers because they know what NCLB has in store for schools. They are solidly behind killing that bit of horrible legislation. Therefore to Paige, they are all terrorists.
Calling an organization a name does not have to filter down to everyone, but he did make a blanket statement, and he based it off of a NEA position that is basically universal. That says it all.
