And The Band Played on
They say that the night the Titanic sank, because there was room in the lifeboats only for women and children,
The men gathered in the ballroom for cigars and brandy,
And the band played on.
The USS LCRCC is going down by the bow.
And the band plays on.
LINN COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE'S THREAT TO IOWA CAUCUS CONTINUES
8-13-15
Greetings, Republican Party of Iowa (RPI) Officials, and all—
Website https://www.angelfire.com/ky/kentuckydan/HotIssues/index.blog presents a running account of the Linn County Republican Central Committee’s (LCRCC) chaos and continued threat to the Iowa caucus. The committee is no closer to selecting suitable caucus sites than it was last month. And there are no chaos or threat reduction plans in place or in mind.
The Caucus TEAM is a farce!
The LCRCC Audit Committee SHOULD release its findings at the August meeting!
Website http://www.iowalive.net/linncothreatstoiowa.htm , posted on 5-15-15, alerted you to Linn County Republican Central Committee’s (LCRCC) fatal threat to Iowa’s first in the nation caucus. Three months have passed and the threat continues, on your watch. Your dithering is not working. The following tables show why. The LCRCC will be a national embarrassment to itself and to Iowa. Is this what you want?

Bless His Heart
Down South there is a Custom
You can say just about anyting you want to about someone,
But if you follow that up with
"Bless their Heart"
It becomes acceptable
Years ago I saw an extreme example of this in Lexington.
A guy was standing on a street corner Bible in hand telling people that they were the --- well let's just say his vocabulary of epithets was amazing
He would end each rant with the phrase. "If you don't have Christ in your heart"
I remember thinking at the time that what he was doing might not be the best way to witness for his faith,
Both of these came to mind the when I found out that someone had been describing what they thought of me and then capping it off with a prayer request
Okay I am going to say this. Dan Kauffman of Linn County GOP is a bold face liar!! Sadly he has nothing worthy in his life so he focuses all his time on attacking Republicans who produce results something I guess he cannot do. SO tired of his accepted lies.
I ask my prayer warrior friends to pray with me that this poor soul may find contentment in some positive output and that the Spirit of Jesus Christ will live in his heart.
Like all those years ago in Lexington my reaction was if they do not intend it to be a presentation of cases and evidence?
Maybe they should not have started off with the claim that I am a -- what was it?
Oh Yes A Bold Face Liar
Because in my last post I feel I did the Evidence part quite well.
As for my soul being Troubled?
I have not noticed that but I am puzzled about one thing
Why do people Lie about things that are matters of public record?
As far as the issue of Robert's Rules of Order and Past Motions go.
Anyone can put jknox65 into Google image and see who that is.
Anyone can do a Google search for "robert's rules of order discussion forum"
Where one can put jkox65 into the Search field.
And see the question Mr jknox65 asked
It is not like it's Rocket Science
So why does jknox65 get so excited about someone pointing these things out?
Maybe jknox65 has trouble distinguishing the The Truth from The False
BLESS HIS HEART
Someone IS a Liar
James Knox just honored me with a mention on his Facebook Wall
Okay I am going to say this. Dan Kauffman of Linn County GOP is a bold face liar!! Sadly he ahs nothing worthy in his life so he focuses all his time on attacking Republicans who produce results something I guess he cannot do. SO tired of his accepted lies.
I ask my prayer warrior friends to pray with me that this poor soul may find contentment in some positive output and that the Spirit of Jesus Christ will live in his heart.
The odd thing is that there is no mention at all
Or example of what i am accused of lyintg about.
When I call attention to what I claim is untrue I am very specific
For instance when the Executive Board claimed that All motions made before their electiono were voided by that.
I pointed out that Mr James Knox in the form of Jknox65 asked that very question of the Robert's Rules of Order Discussion Board and was told
No.
I can provide SCREEN SHOTS of that event.

I was wondering if motions that had passed during a previous Executive boards rein, do these carry over to the new presiding officers? Do motions bind the hands of a new body after an election? I would thing by-law changes would but I am uncertain about motions?
Can someone advise and reference where it may or may not support the expunging of previous sessions passed motions?

"Unless an adopted main motion specifies a time for the termination of its effect, it continues in force until it is rescinded." (RONR 11th ed., p. 111, ** footnote)
I find his accusations unaccompanied by nothing but hot air amusing
I also do not in the least beleive that someone who starts a post off with such hostility really means what they end it with
That is probably just for the audience.
I will repeat what the Body was told was not True
I am not the one Lying
Mr Knox should look in a mirror and save his prayers for himself.
He is the one who needs them,
PS Put jknox65 into Google Images and see whose face shows up LOL
Mr Knox responds
Well James maybe it was not that spiritual to start a tirade about me being a bold face lier
I mean that does put some doubt as to the sincerity of your good wishes LOL
Besides you told you I was not happy and filled with Gods Will?
If It's Not Broke
There is a saying, "If it's not broke, don't fix it".
A Good addition would be, "But if you just HAVE to fix it, try not to completely destroy it"
Back in March the Central Committee was told that we HAD to completely redo EVERYTHING
All the previous organization that was the work of years must be cast aside and we had to reorganize.
We were told that Robert's Rules of Order REQUIRED it.
That ALL motions made prior to the Officer's Election were voided by that.
Not true,
Our Webmaster James Knox asked the Online Discussion Board that very question and was told
NO
They even told him the basis for that answer could be found on page 111 of the Newly Revised Robert's Rules of Order 11th Edition in the footnote at the bottom of the page,
As I recall that claim was made by the Chair again in the May Meeting and a Member tried to enter that passage into the Record but was declared
Out of Order by the Chair
Who STATED that that section would be. "Taken under advisement by the Executive Commitee and they would DELIBERATE on it"
Notice Cindy Golding did NOT say that the Body would be informed of the result of their deliberations
And so far that indeed has not happened,
We were also informed that they had sought Parliamentary adivice from 3 persons including Mr David Chung who is acknowledged as one of the leading GOP experts in the field
However they did NOT mention what that advice WAS.
My information is that from Mr Chung it was the SAME as the Robert's Rules of Order Discussion Board.
So all the Sub Commitees were Deep Sixed and replaced with Teams who only had 5 voting members. disenfranchising any othe Committee Person who might be on the Team mostly chosen by the Executive Committee.
One of the Sub Committees replaced was the Communications Sub Commitee
Which had met mostly at the Starlite on Saturday nights for years
Usually 10 up 15 attending. Our Co -Chair attended the Last as it turns out meeting so he can verify that
I understand that the Team which replaced it has met 3 times since March?
And the last time the only voting member was the Team Leader and there were 3 other people there,
His Son and two people who were on the Old Communications Sub Committee
It would appear that the improvement and reorganization has for all intents and purposes completely destroyed any functioning Communication organization.
The odd thing is that those who formed the Old Sub Committee got in the habit of fellowshiping on Saturday Nights so they still meet
And the attendence of that no longer official group is 3 to 4 times that of the new Team
One of them told me that he used to be on 3 Sub-Committees and thought he was contributing
But now he is not on any Team and sees no reason to be on one
Because he would have NO Say in it in any event
I for the life of me do not understand how the Executives hope to acheive their goal of
Involve and re-engage disenfranchised Republicans
By disenfranchising Republicans

Continuity
Some of us made a Road Trip recently to the Lee County Fund Raiser.
It is to tell the truth something I look forward to,
We have been doing this for years,
It is nice to get out, support other Counties, Network and see what they do to make an effective event.
One thing that is constant
The Fund Raiser is always the Last Saturday in July
That Continuity IMO makes it an effective event
How effective?
Take a look.
They had about 220 people show up.
They had to pull in some extra tables.
Now the Tickets were $25 and the meal, which was quite tasty btw cost them $15.
They also had an auction.
Some of the Pies brought as much as $100.
Tha might surprise some people, but this has become a tradition and there are people who every year compete with each other to see who will get the best pies.
I would say the Auction probably paid for the Room and extra expenses with something left over
I expect Lee County might have cleared between $2000 and $3000 on their event at a guess
Now remember they are about 1/4 the size of Linn County and it is in heavy Democrat Terrritory.
Linn County also had a fund raiser recently
Our Chili Cook Off
Which in the last 3 years has been held in the Spring, the Fall and the dead of Summer this year at the Linn County Fair
Unfortunately each time we have moved the Chili Cook Off the Take on it has gone down
The Good News is that we already have a Winter Event so the Chili Cook Off will have to stay in Spring, Summer or Fall.
Some may not agree, but it seems to me Continuity Works
It creates Traditions that can be built upon
Moving things around all the time?
Does not create stability
Deciding when to do something at the last minute does not help either
Before there was even mention of doing the Cook Off at the County Fair I for one had already made a commitment for that Saturday
The October before I was actully 1/6th of their ticket sales.

About That First Amendment
There has been a lot of confusion about some events at the July Linn County Central Committee Meeting
There was a motion concerning the LCRCC Webmaster
Claims have ranged from
They are trying to limit Mr Knox First Amendment Rights and his Freedom of speech
To a claim made by the Co Chair on the First District GOP Facebook Page that
We were trying to remove him from the organization.
There is not one bit of Truth in any of these charges.
Now those who were not at the meeting and got their information second hand do have an excuse if they were misled
Those however who WERE at the meeting and were able to hear the Motion made by Steve West have NO excuse
If they continue to claim that Mr West said anything but what he actually said they will be in fact Lying
I am going to upload the audio File of the meeting here and give the Time Mark were Mr West made his motion and now NO ONE will have any excuses if they distort what he actually said
July 2015 LCRCC Meeting
If you go to 1:32:40 you can hear Mr West's Motion for yourself
You can hear there is NO portion of it which calls for his removal from the Linn County Central Committee
You can hear that Mr West was making his motion because he felt that it was wrong for someone with Editorial Control over the LCRCC Website and Social Media and was an Official Representative of a Candidate to be making any negative remarks about another Candidate.
You will also hear Mr West say quite clearly that Mr Knox had every right to post whatever he wanted to on his own websites, just not on the LCRCC Websites and Not as a Webmaster or Social Admin,.
That ought to take care of any lingering misreprsentations that anyone was trying to "silence" Mr Knox
The Motion did NOT in any way call for James Knox to be silenced; it called for him to be relieved of the ability to speak on behalf of the LCRCC via official digital communication.
There was some other misunderstanding. One of our members later thanked Mr Knox for his post and claimed we needed the Truth about the candidates
Jim, thanks for your response. I welcome your
inputs, even if they are unflattering or negative in
regard to a candidate or issue I support
We need to be aware of the "WHOLE" truth, and not
just the parts we like. We need to go and
"Do our homework"
to rebut the charges, statemetns, or
positions we believe are unwarranted or just
plain wrong. We should not be lazy in our defense
or pursuit of the truth and you are a catalyst in
this cause
What the gentleman over looks is that the major offense was the Conflict of Interests,
In fact as Mr West stated if the motion had passed Mr Knox could have posted what he wanted to his hearts content
As it stands he CANNOT post as he did the other day
He is ON NOTICE which you may find at Time Mark 1:41
The Chair is ON RECORD as stating that
Mr Knox was Ordered to Remove the Offending Post
Mr Knox was REBUKED for Posting the Offending Post
Mr Knox was ORDERED to NOT REPEAT any such post.
Note the people who made and supported the Motion Tuesday Night
Are NOT responsible for that outcome
The CHAIR is
And if Mr Knox offends again?
I for one am interested in seeing what the consequences might be
So it would appear that all the claims that the motion was meant to silence Mr Knox was false
The claim that the motion was meant to remove Mr Knox from the organization was false
However there WAS an incident where someone DID use their power to silence someone
Mr Knox made Mocking references to one of our Committee Members on the Official LCRCC Facebook Page
AND when he tried to respond he found Mr Knox had him BLOCKED
The gentleman tried to join the page multiple times so he could defend himself but every attempt was rejected
Interesting the James Knox can falsely claim others tried to silence him when they did not
While at the same time silencing someone else
In the words of Ted Cruz
“It Is Very Interesting To See Those Who Profess To Believe In Free Speech Are The Ones Afraid Of Speech”

Is This All They Have?
James Knox and a few of his posse were sniggering over on the Official Linn County GOP Discussion Fascebook Page about the above the other day.Here is their exchange
Daniel Kauffman's WINO Group
Whig in Name ONLY...could not be closer to the truth as they are drunk in their power..or lack thereof.
Yes I spent about 5 or 10 minutes experimenting with changing the name of that Facebook Page
And I used Whig Club
BTW In particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of Congress over the Presidency
So one wonders if they prefer the supremacy of the President over Congress?
Or is it a case of never attribute to Malice that whihch can be explained by Ingorance.
I will confess when earlier in that same day Mr Knox expressed that he was filled with Christian Love and held no animosity and was praying for all his detractors
I believed that about as much as I believe that the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: wants Peace and would NEVER conceive of bulding a nuclear device
I mean behind James Knox's protestations of forgiveness and Christian charity I seemed to hear a faint "Death to Dan Kauffman"
So that day I went to sleep with in the words of W C Fields, "The Calm Confidence of a Christian holding Four Aces" that by the time I awoke and finished work and was able to go online the TRUE Moral Character of James Knox would resurface.
And of course I was not dissppointed
I gazed upon the Litany on the LCRCC Facebook Fan page
Yes I thought THERE is the REAL James Knox
Then there was

I think that is supposed to be Gestapo
But let's give Matt an A for effort, he tries so hard
Mr Ahart thought the entire thing was so funny that one wonders if he has a posterior left
July 22 at 11:01pm · Like ·
But does anyone notice what is missing?
When I make a claim about someone I can specify why I make it and give details.
For instance if I say the Chair Cindy Golding has violated the County Constitution,
I can specify that the Body gave instructions for a debt to be paid and she refused to sign the checks. That is a matter of public Record.
If I say the Chair Cindy Golding is in Breach of the By Laws
I can point out that there is a check; a piece of physical evidence that she used to make a payment that does NOT have at that time Treasurers signature
THAT is a Breach of our By Laws
If I claim that James Knox has abused his powers of Webmaster and Admin for the LCRCC,
I can point to the FACT that Mr Knox used the LCRCC Facebook Page to defame a Local Republican Business and FORMER very good donator to the Central Committee
I can Point out the FACT that Mr Knox made disparaging remarks about a candidate on a site over which he has editorial control and the FACT that he is also representing another Candidate which constitutes a Conflict of Interest and a Breach of Ethics
Now there IS one thing Mr Knox and I agree on
July 22 at 10:54am · Like
Screen shots and you can't make this stuff up LOL
SO since he has shared a screen shot of ME let me share a screen shot of Mr Knox from the Billings Gazette in Montana
It seem James was commenting on the Gazette under assumed names and this time forgot he was Nancy L and signed his real name

Before The Chrysanthemum Throne
The other night there was a confrontation on the subject of Ethics at the Linn
County Central Committee.
One side maintianed that if a person had Editorial Control over the LCRCC
Website and ALL Social Media and he ALSO was an Official Representative of
a Campaign?
It was an Ethical Breech for him to use his position to make disparaging
comments about another Canidate on the Official Linn County Central
Committee Discusion Board
The other sie held--- You know I am not really sure.--Maybe their
contention is James Knox gets to do anything he wishes to without any
consequences whatsoever.
That WOULD be in Keeping with all the other ethical violations he has
committed in the past.
Since then he and his buddies have been gloating and sniggering over at the
LCRCC Facebook Discussion Page.
It seems those who don't agree with them and the Executive Committee are\
Fascists
Getstapo
Not Real Republicans
They even have that penned to the top of the page so viewers won't miss it
Of course as I recall our Chair Brett Mason decided once to claim I was a
Socialist and because he did not know of any Linn County Socialist Party
He put online directions to the Democratic Central Committee meetings
But I will leave all that Juvenile simpering to them
Because the Hot Issues From Linn County has an
Extradinary Announcement to Make
We had 3 that is THREE count them visits the other day from
The Imperial Enclave in Tokyo!
I am honored.
So let us set aside the stomach souring image of the LCRCC Webmaster
James Knox and his Mistress the County Chair Cincy Golding
And take a look at just what caught the attention of the Imperial Court?

Only Real Republicans Need Apply
Well we saw what they THINK on the Officail LCRCC Discsusion Page
Another maintenance update, continuing to serve...
Now it seems they have taken their Philosophy into ACTION
I believe in the Republican platform. Thus I want to help Republicans get elected. So I join the local County Central Committee to represent my precinct. I got elected as a precinct representative. The Facebook admin who is not an elected representative, but rather an associate member, chooses to block me from commenting on the page that is supposed to be the official page for the Linn County GOP, yet makes personal attacks about me on that page. I hope someone can let someone know who can do something about it.
Quite some time ago I noticed that if I disagreed with Mr Knox my comments disspeared so I decided commenting there was a waste of time
Seems I was not the only one he selectively edits LOL
