As an aspiring NFL Official I hate to see the NFL Officials Association giving officials a bad name by asking for ridiculous contracts (i.e. full-time officiating) and then not negotiating with the NFL.

I'm sure that you'll appreciate the pay increase once you get there though!

As Zeke5 stated -- the NFL officials' contract expired in March. This is all part of contract negotiations -- if neither side wants to budge, you wait. Then, both sides start making some concessions, and finally you come to an agreement.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT and they all agreed to the current contract.

They are NOT under contract. They worked pre-season games without any contract.

Where can I write to share my opinion with those involved?

I doubt that writing something like this to anyone on the NFL officiating staff will help your aspirations to join their ranks.

By the way, don't think that NFL officials don't ever visit Officiating.com or this discussion board. So, if you wouldn't say something to their face, you may not want to post it here.
