Their rationale was, "OMG, we cannot add anyone as a member until WE check to see if they are really Republicans!"
It didn't matter that one of them had been waiting 6 months to join;
Or that another one actually had their Voter ID card on them and pulled it out.
Nope, the Secretary, the Chair and the bulk of the Executive Committee would not be shaken from their sacred duty to ensure that we did not add anyone to the Central Committee who was not register as a Republican.
So they will have to wait until our Secretary gets around to verifying that.
I decided not to confuse the Executives and the Secretary by pointing out that there was no assurance that any of the present members had not changed their registration since the last meeting.
I mean, if they started thinking about that, no one would be allowed to vote!
You might have noticed I mentioned that one person had waited 6 months to join.
That is because the Chair and her supporters have, for most of the meetings, insisted on adjourning before the "Add New Members" item on the agenda came up.l
They have been very adamant about ending the meetings at 8:30.
It does not matter to them if there is work for the Committee left undone.
Well, it doesn't matter to them if there is work left undone that OTHER people care about.
They will insist on adjourning.
If an attempt is made to alter the agenda to remove the 8:30 deadline, it often fails with one of those 22 to 21 Votes.
However, if there is something left undone that THEY want to do?
That is another story.
In that case, they will entertain a motion to extend the meeting, and the rest of us, not being hypocrites, will vote to do so.
And THEY keep accusing US of not being willing to work together?
So this person showed up for 6 months waiting for our leadership and their supporters to allow a meeting to last long enough for new members to be presented;
Only to be told to "come back next month."
I mean, they really know how to recruit volunteers, don't they?
Yes, we have now a New Paradigm. Forget Moving Forward.
Of course, the reason might be just a matter of political manuevering.
Recall, if you will, that sometimes what the Committee decides to do is decided by votes on the order of 22 to 21.
Six new members might alter the Balance of Power.
So maybe they are trying to stonewall until the new bylaw changes go into effect.
And unless the new member is filling a vacancy in a precinct,
They will have NO VOTE.
