I have in previous posts described the ways by which those of us who have attended Linn County Central Committee Meetings on a Regular Basis over the years, discovered that we were no longer going to meet where we were accustomed.

 

 There was the surprising revelation that a flyer was passed out one weekend in March the 27, 28 & 29th at an NRA Gun show informing the PUBLIC of a new meeting location.

 

But by no attempt via the normal Email List, nor the Social Network Facebook  Linn County GOP Website,

 

Did the Executive Board EVER enlighten us on these matters or  give us a location until just shortly before the meeting.

 

 Actually many former members did not even get an email announcement before the meeting and there was quite of bit of Internet chatter getting the word out to the Uninformed.

 

Indeed it was after a silence of Two months that the rationale was finally given,

 

 IMO grudgingly and with all the ease of pulling teeth from an unwilling attack dog.

 

But I will have to say my latest discovery is surprising to me,

Despite the fact that the present record has been replete with unwelcome surprises,

 

I ran across this post Updated: Linn County Republicans switch leaders

 

 on a website called.,  Essential Estrogen,

 

Which by the way in my opinion would be an informative website, no matter what the gender of the reader,

 

I recommend it without any reservations whatsoever.

 

But to get back to my main point,  The post begins

 

Updated to list the full Linn County GOP executive board:

Chairman -- Tim Palmer
Co-Chairman -- Mark Hudson
Treasurer -- Brent Schulte
Secretary -- Dawn Brown

None of the previous members of the executive board were re-elected. That being said, I'm not sure if all incumbents were seeking another term. From what I've been able to find out through text messages, e-mails and the local Twitter feed, the newly elected leaders (described by Renee Schulte as "young professionals") will be making some changes in the near future that will likely begin with a new meeting location.

Time out, let's stop and think this through,
We've all got better things to do,
Than talk in circles, run in place,
Answers inches from our face.

[Chorus]

Black eyes, broken fingers,
Blood drips and I let it run,
down my lips into my swollen gums,
When hope is non-existent,
Our instincts all scream "Run",
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue.
