Being the First Caucus in the Nation is a Big Deal for Iowa.
A sense of Pride, Tradition and let's face it the source of a whole lot of rectangular green pieces of linen and cotton.
To KEEP this in place we are required to stay inside certain boundaries.
Which is why, when the other day I looked at the LCRCC Facebook Pages and all the posts looked for all intents and purposes as if they were written by the Tec Cruz Campaign Committee instead of the Linn County Republican Central Committee,
I shook my head and thought
There they go again.
It is important they we maintain at least an appearance of neutrality.
We ARE the second largest county in the State and it is not good to give the other campaigns the impression that they may not get a fair shake in this County.
They might tend to stay away or at least not involve the local County Committee in any functions they have here.
Trust is a very easy thing to break and even harder to put together after it's broken
We can LOSE our First in the Nation Caucus status if we do not pay attention to a few simple rules,.
County Officials Executive Board members and yes also Webmasters may NOT express partisan endorsements.
I was very proud of Dan Hess when he mentioned the announcement by Ted Cruz the he was running, but made it clear it was an announcement NOT an endorsement.
I read Mr Hess's post and thought, now THAT is how it should be done.
Boundaries must be set by the Exective Committee and the New Marketing & PR Team.
Somebody needs to start doing their job.
