I had thought about making the title of this post
Personal Responsibility
That being what Republicans have always said they stand for, but in the LCRCC we have some many more willing to
Talk the Talk
than we have willing tp
Walk the Walk
That I decided to make the title more fitting to the character of the Linn County Cental Commitee these days and call it
Crawling Chaos
Now Crawling Chaos or Nyarlathotep may be one of\
the malign deities from the Lovecraftian Pantheon but it is
a good description of the Reality of the LCRCC
Let us take one example in order to prevent this post from being too lengthy.
Voting
I dare say if you ask Any Republican where they stand on Voting
You will get an oration on how important it is to protect the sanctity of the ballot box
How EVERY Decent Republican would do anything they can to prevent Illegal Voting
And ensure that everyone who does vote is legally entitled to
Unless they are members of the Linn County Central Committee
Now there WAS a time we did stand up for such things
And we insisted on Personal Responisibility if they were violated
Some of us recall a member being removed from the Body for Voting Violations,.
Not any more
A while back ballots were being passed out
Now everyone who has been attending for any length of time knows those who are credentialed to vote have a big plastic sleeve on a lanyard in which a BRIGHT LIME GREEN Credential Card is placed.
So when one of the members of the Membership and Meeting Setup Team spotted someone NOT wearing credentials sneaking a ballot under the table and hiding it,
They told another member to watch that person and if they did try to vote stop them
Which is what happened
and the consequences were
NOTHING
During May's Meeting a Credentialed Voter left the room and also left his Credentials on his table
Which they were not supposed to do.
If you leave the room the Credentials are to be turned in.
While they were gone there was a vote
And someone sitting at their table
Held up both their own credentials and the ones left on the table
First you do not get to vote for others and
Second you do not get to vote twice
They were caught Red Handed or maybe more appropriately
Bight Lime Green Handed
And the Consequences were
NOTHING
I am sorry but it does seem ridiculous for any of us to talk about how much we care about the sanctity of the ballot box while at the same time turning blind eyes to voter fraud in our own midst.
If there should be a third event?
I am for a Motion AT THAT MOMENT to remove the person for Voter Fraud
And if ANYONE should bring up the FACT that these two did the same without any consequences
Reply that point is well taken I wish to amend my motion to include Mr James Knox and Mr Mike Dupree
And if they have some Valid defense they can present it to the Body
