That being how some of our New Leadership think of us.
I awoke to 23 messages asking me if I actually Purged the poison last night.
pursuits of petty people!
Or maybe We the Petty People?
And what infighting might Young Master Nelson refer to?
What pursuits of Petty People does he wished stopped?
Could it be when some of us spoke up because while the County Constitution says that
The Executive Committee is subject to the orders of the Linn County Central Committee, and none of its actsshall conflict with actions of the Linn County Central Committee.
We have a Chair who seems to feel that following an decision that the Full Committee voted on is subject to whether they FEEL like doing it?
Or might it be when some of us objected to the Chair completely ignoring the section of the By Laws which states
All checks shall be signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Chair or Co-Chair
And deciding that THEY did not have to bother with the restricitions of the By Laws if they decided it was inconvienient.
Was it those petty pursuits and infighting that justified purging almost half of the membership?
Must be, because I do not recall ANY consequences for these Illegal Actions.
But Boy did Young Master Nelson and his associates get irate when we brought them up!!!
I am surprised we were not tied up and tossed into the Cedar River to see if we would float or not,
It takes all types to make a County Poltical Party work.
Some volunteers show up about every 4 years during Presidential elections and boy do we need them
Some volunteer show up about every 2 years during every election and they are also needed.
But then there are those volunteers who plod along week after week, month after month, year after year and form the foundation of the political party.
Those who do the nuts and bolts actions needed to have something in place when the Election Year Volunteers show up to work.
Care to Guess who just got Purged?
Yep the Bedrock Foundation of the LCRCC's volunteer base.
Or at least a very large portion of it,
So what now? Our New Co-Chair tells us there is a place for everyone at the table,
We should not be upset if it is below the salt,.
We should also I guess not ask,
Why should we believe or trust someone who came to our Now Purged Sub-Committee meeting and told us how much he and the New Leadership wanted to Work With Us, Heal the Wounds That Divided Us and Tear Down the Wall of Distrust.
And then proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that all the glowing committments that were made were nothing but Flat Lies?
Now that they have wiped out the work of years, kicked us to the curb and spit on our efforts.
They want us to come to them, crouch down and lick the hands that beat us and ask that our chains be laid lightly upon us. (to paraphrase Sam Adams)
Not going to happen,
And stuff that Then You Don't Want to Help Republicans Get Elected.,
Some of us were helping Republcians get elected when some of you were not even a gleam in your Daddy's Eye.
We can continue to do that with or without you.
We can support Republican Candidates, Causes and Groups of OUR choosing,
We do need neither your permission nor your Aid,
I am still the person who donated to local candidates they know who they are.
I am still the person who laying in a hospital bed waiting for open heart surgery asked my friends in lieu of flowers to donate to a particular campaign,
I am still the one who laying in that same bed wrote out a large check so there would be some banquet for early arrivers election night.,
And who had a friend pick me up from the hospital so I could join my fellow Republicans and watch the returns come in.
The LCRCC is not the only Conservative Group I belong to some of them actually Value my efforts,
I can go where I am wanted,
But I do intend to hang around and watch to see if the New Regime can halt the slide to disaster that the last few years of the Golding Chairmanship has been.
I mean the Treasury has dropped what?
By Twenty percent to maybe One third?
Attendance at meeting is down by almost 50%.
Attendance at Events down by maybe 80%.
Things have been going so well, it will be interesting to see if this Purge reverses the trend.
If not, as we have done in the Past those of us who are left will pick up the pieces and rebuild,'
What we won't do is start off by Excluding a Large portion of the Membership.
