Samuel Adams

American Patriot & Politician

1722 - 1803

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Hot Issues From Linn County Iowa

A Word From The Defense

 

We have word from Our Webmaster

James Knox

Relating his view on everything.

 

To paraphrase Kipling it goes like

 

Help for a Patriot Sullied

A Snow White Spirit Hurt

Help for Our Webmaster's Name

Sore Trampled in the Dirt 

From Alburnett to Walker

Oh Listen to My Song

Our Honorable Gentleman

Has Suffered Grevious Wrong

His Noble Name Was Mentioned

Oh the Burning Black Disgrace

By a Misinformed Blogger

In a Political Ethics Case. 

 

Or as it appears on His Facebook Wall and about 10 others he placed it on

 

17 hrs · Edited · 

So often I am asked by other county central committee members "why do the members of Linn county central committee hate you so?"

Well they do not, but a small faction who have been ineffective for years hate my ability to effect positive and productive change despite there lies, attacks and continual anti Knox rhetoric.

That's is usually followed with "we'd love for you to set up our website, we can't believe the generous offer."

 — with Brett Mason and 9 others.
Like   Comment   
Joe StutlerPaul PelletierMatthew O'Neal and 5 others like this.

Actually for my part Hate is maybe a little over the Top,

Intense Dislike is more to the point 

There ARE people for which hate might fit however

There is a young woman in Montana, who at one time was the President of the Montana Young Republicans, and who ran afoul of Mr Knox  where upon he organized a

Denial of Service Attack on her Emails and Facebook accounts

One of his Associates however turned out to be able to distinguish between right and wrong

 

and recognized unethical behaviour so they made a screen shot of Mr Knox's instructions

You may look at it here and ask yourselves if he has the character of someone  you wish

representing the LCRCC

 


 

Now that is the story of someone from Montana who might actually Hate our Webmaster
 
There is someone else from New Mexico who might also have a grudge.
 
 

Steve Brewer, of Rio Rancho, N.M., said he has tried since December to get about $1,900 from Knox for work he performed as the New Mexico manager for Knox's computer business, KBS Computer Solutions Inc.  

 

New Mexico law requires that pay for a discharged employee be paid within five days of discharge if the wages are a fixed amount.

The law also requires an employer to get written permission from an employee to make deductions from an employee's check, even if the employee is at fault for damages. The only time an employer can make a deduction without written approval is if there was an overpayment 

 
 
 
 
 

As for the State of Iowa, I am certain the local business that Mr Knox slandered on the LCRCC Facebook Page and his own

And that he put on quite a few other people's Facebook Page including a Congressman's might not be pleased with him.

I understand they were intending to sue him and the Chair Cindy Golding, but ran into a slight hitch.

It seems to make a case it is helpful to be able to show damages and their business is UP.  

 

And then in addition there is his minor offence of trying to Vote Illegally.

Now a claim WAS made that Mr Knox voted ACCIDENTLY

Which of course was AFTER he ACCIDENTLY hid a ballot under the table so he could use it. 

 

Then most recently, we see his abuse of his position of Webmaster which gives him editorial control over all LCRCC Websites and Social Media to make negative remarks about a Candidate running against the one he represents.

 

As for his claim that those who disagree with these ethical lapses are

"a small faction who have been ineffective for years" 

That is just an example of someone shooting their mouth off about things they really don't know anything about

He seems to think nothing ever got done before he showed up LOL

The Chair before the present one and the Committee went from nothing.

I mean we had to take up a collection to HAVE money to pay for the room  

WE had an attendence about what it is now

We went from that to attendences at meetings of sometimes 200 people and when Steve Armstrong stepped down there was over 20K in the bank

Since then attendence and the Treasury has shrunk

Can anyone who has been around through all the changes in this Century really claim that the Committee is better off since Cindy Golding took the Chair?

But James will spout off his nonsense.

What I find amusing right now is him patting himself on the back about his Webmastering

I don't know about the rest of you, but I just got my August  Meeting announcement and here I thought it was July?

I see we have a August Agenda too!

Hope he is doing a better job with the Websites of other Counties than he is ours.

When Tact May Not Work

 


 There are some people who have to have things Spelled Out for them.

 

In my post the other day  Conflict of Interest 

I relayed the Story of how the Linn County Central Commitee Webmaster

Mr James Knox, someone who has full editorial control over all Linn County

Central Committee Websites  had abused his position and made derogatory r

remarks about one of the Presidential Candidates.,

To make matters worse he is the Official Representative of another Campain

in this area

MOST people realise that the Party and Party Officials at all levels including

the County should maintian a neutral position

This type of think does not seem to occur naturally to Mr Knox

So maybe it should be explained to him at the next

Central Committee Meeting? 

 

 I am thinking that a motion would be in order 

something along the lines of

 

Moved: The Linn County Central Committee prohibits

ANY negative comment directed at a Republican

Candidate on ANY Linn County Central Committee

Website or Social Media.  Violations of this Order will
 
result in the termination of Posting Privileges until
 
after the Election and if committed by a
 
Representative of a Campaign  the Secretary will
 
send a Letter of Complaint to the State Chair of the
 
Campaign 

 

In other words you can say anything you want about a Democratic Candidate

Or one of Another Party.

But regarding Republican Candidates confine your remarks to how Great 

You think your Canidate is and as for the other ones?

THREAT TO IOWA CAUCUS, WORSENS


 

The Following is How this article appears on the

 

Iowa Live Website


 

 

 

 

LINN COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE'S THREAT TO IOWA CAUCUS, WORSENS

7-17-15

Greetings, Republican Party of Iowa (RPI) Officials, and all—

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.   Two months has passed and the threat has substantially worsened, on your watch.  Your dithering is not working. The following tables show why.  Posturing to promote Ron Corbett for Governor and Cindi Golding for Legislator take precedence over first in the nation caucus.  The LCRCC will be a national embarrassment to itself and to Iowa.  Is this what you want?

Conflict of Interest

Ethics Lie wounded

 

 
 
The other day Mr James Knox the Official Linn County Republican Central Committee Webmaster one of three people who have editorial control over the LCRCC websites posted the following on his personal Facebook Wall.  
 
 SO I guess I cannot post in the Linn County
 
GOP again Xxxxxx  ahs flipped. Such ashame too
 
cause he does have many good things he has done
 
 
Of course that was AFTER he posted this
 
 
From: "James Knox" <notification+kmwr4mmx@facebookmail.com>
Date: July 16, 2015 at 7:01:43 AM CDT
To: "Linn County, Iowa GOP" <LCRCC@groups.facebook.com>
Subject: [Linn County, Iowa GOP] Seriously another Xxxxx flipflop. I like this...
Reply-To: Reply to Comment <g+41cia3am000000k2duvq005i7n1k084m000000i8rwor2yi46@groups.facebook.com>
 
 
   Linn County, Iowa GOP
 
   
   
 
 
   
James Knox
July 16 at 7:01am
 
Seriously another Xxxxxx flipflop. I like this guy but he is not the candidate many of you proclaim him to be. There is only ONE who ahs done all he said he would, has never flipped and flopped, been consistent on every conservative or constitutional point and has stood completely alone to do the right thing! 
 The Candidate's Name has been Redacted from the above statements.
 
Now SOME might be tempted to say that derogatgory remarks about a Republican Candiate by a Central Committee Official who has Editorial Contral over ALL LCRCC Websites COULD be Considered
 
                   Unethical 
 
Some might even venture to say that if that person was ALSO an Official Representative of another Campaign
 
Their Actions had the appearance of a Conflict of Interest and were even more
        
                                   Unethical  
 
 But this is not the only time Mr Knox has engaged in such behavior on the LCRCC websites and his own.
 
Ethical Behaviour does not seem to be a matter of great concern to him
 
We have seen this before.
 
The Republican Party is supposed to stand for Personal Responisibility
 
We are supposed to believe that there should be consequences for an individuals Actions.
 
But like when Mr  Knox slandered a local business on the LCRCC Facebook page and his own
 
Or like when he was caught trying to accidently vote (after he accidently hid a ballot he had gotten ahold of under his table)
 
There will probably be NO Consequences for this Unethical Behavior
 
                 AGAIN

If You Are Not Part Of The Solution

 
The LCRCC PTBs and I have some things in Common

 

 
We complain about each other.
 
I complain about multiple and redundant posts on the LCRCC Facebook Group and Fan Page Walls.
 
I complain about the May Minutes being missing from the
 
Linn County GOP Website's Minutes Page 
 
I also ask why these things are not resolved since it would be a matter of minutes to do so IMO 
 
They in turn have their OWN complaints for instance in
 

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 
 
They state: Our complainer couldn't help at the fair. None of his fellow complainers could also help at the fair 
 

Let me take the last part first.  I did see one of my friends in a photo from the  Fair as for the rest of my friends?

For some reason they do not come and ask my permission about what they should or should not do so I don't know how many other friends of mine were at the Fair or Not.

As for me.

No I was not there.

It is odd. You can TELL people you work Nights and Sleep Days but sometimes they just don't seem to LISTEN

The Chili Cook Off was between 11 AM and 1 PM?

For me that is like a Normal Person being somewhere between 2 AM and 4 AM

Is it that some of them are Hearing Challenged?

How many of the LCRCC would show up for an event held at 2 AM to 4 AM

I work Nights and sleep DAYS

BTW since unlike almost everyone else in the LCRCC I do work nights in order to make the Central Committee Meetings I take a Vacation Day

How many other members would make that committment? 

That however is not the only reason I was not there.

I understand the event was held in a metal building the end of June?

I have had One Heart Attack 3 Stints put in, Open Heart Surgery with a Quintuple Bypass (that is 5), by choice I don't do High Heat and Humidity that ranks up there with shoveling heavy snow when it is real cold

Not in my best interest

Also before all this came up I made a committment to go to Des Moines to the State Central Committee Meeting and pay for the gasoliine

But DAN you said you needed to sleep at that time of Day?

Right I rode and dozed on the way up,. Went to the Meeting dozed some on the way back and went to bed when I got home.

And some of these matters I relayed to the Secretary when I replied to his voice mail message and email

So the PTBs were aware of some of the reasonswhy I was not at the Fair BEFORE they decided to complain about my absense. 

 

But let us talk now about Solutions?

We had an effective Communications Sub-Committee, the work of years that met regularly usually about 10 sometimes 15.

Our Co-Chair can testify to that he attended one of our meetings

I do believe that we had more ADMINS than the new Marketing and PR Team has people attending their meetings

Give members of the Old Communications Sub-Committe Admin privileges and the ability to appoint other Admins AND

We could have the Face Book mess cleaned up in a matter of minutes and make sure redundant duplicate posts are a thing of the Past

Some of this stuff is not Rocket Science

For instance I noticed that there were a lot of new Posts in the Linn County GOP Website dated July 15

Why were the Minutes not fixed at that time.

I do not lnow the system Mr Knox uses for that website but HERE puttting up a Link is quite simple.  Let me give you a demonstation

It is now 3:00 AM

I will type in 

May 2015 Minutes

I will now go and upload the Minutes into my Directory

I will pull up the minutes onto a page so I can copy the URL

I will pull up the icon that makes links on this page

I  put in the URL of the PDF File

Choose Open in another window

Inserted the Link above and 

Made it Bold Face for Ease of Use

It is Now 3:05 AM

I am done  It took all of 5 minutes to do and to type out each step I was taking

 

Believe me the Old Communications Sub Committee could take care of the Problems on the Facebooks sites

If allowed

Little Lost Minutes

The LCRCC has lost its Minutes 

And doesn't know where to find them

Leave them alone and they'll come home

Wagging their tails behind them

 

Not time itself but the May Minutes of the LCRCC

Seem to have been misplaced

 

If one goes to the   Linn County GOP Website. 

And puts their cursor over 

About Us

Then Goes to

LCRCC Governing Documents

You will see

Going there You will see this

 

Minutes

2015:

June 2015 Minutes

April 2015 Minutes

March 2015 Minutes

February 2015 Minutes

January 2015 Minutes

 For 10 Extra Classroom Points can someone tell us what is missing? 

 That is CORRECT

May 2015 Minutes

 

Now here is a trick

Instead of doing the above

Go to the Main Page and put the word minutes into the search field 

 

That will take you to THIS PAGE

Fast pace running down the road to victory!

June 2015 Newsletter.

It’s Presidential-time in Iowa.  Don’t you love it?  It’s hard to keep up with which candidate is where, what is happening when and how to fit it all in to our already busy schedules.
 
But you know – we are so fortunate to have the chance to meet our future President in a relatively personal setting.  Everywhere I go around the country people ask me “Why Iowa?”  It’s so easy in the busy-ness of our days, to forget how special this is.
 
Our “First in the Nation” status has also caused some dramatic changes in the way we must do things.  While change can be challenging, it can present new opportunities.
 
Please come to our next Central Committee meeting (Tuesday, June 16) to learn more about what’s new, what’s changed, all the exciting things happening and how you can participate.
 
Take part in the Road to Victory 2016 – help us make it happen!

Now Why one might ask has our Webmaster not bothered to put the link to the May Minutes in the List of Minutes for 2015?

 

Maybe this from his personal Facebook Page can enlighten us? 

 

I just love to help fellow conservative get their word out. I think I am up to 20 R central Committee websites at the moment.

Maybe he is too busy elsewhere to do the job of Webmaster on the LCRCC Website?
 
So much for his claim
 
" I take too much pride in doing something right"

Another Knox Mystery
 
Our James Knox can at times create mysteries
 
After my last Post
 
Worth Its Weight In Gold 
 
This appeared on his Facebook Wall for a short period of time.
 
The last I looked it was no longer there
 

Hey Daffy Dan (Kaufmann) maybe you should actually find out who made the posts you seem to be so frustrated with. I can guarantee you it was not me. I take too much pride in doing something right and have always stood up when I do good or bad.

Try looking at the other Admin posters.... There are many who have access from the Chair on down through the marketing team.... I rarely post anything these days as I do not have the time and worked hard to get the group to take ownership.

Like ·  · 1 
 
Now it IS true that some of the more recent LCRCC Facebook Posts have NOT had multiples
 
So I was going to give him some consideration of doubt
 
Then I looked at the following which appears on the LCRCC Facebook Discussion Page

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 

 


 

What happens when we go to the county fair? Here's what people see:

Linn County Republicans at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans with Elected Representatives at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans and Candidate representatives meeting constituents and engaging them.
Linn County Republicans running a local straw poll.
Linn County Republicans engaging new people to participate in Caucus.
Linn County Republicans drawing Presidential Candidates.
Linn County Republicans garnering TV coverage at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans holding a Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser.
Linn County Republicans improving profitability of Fundraiser for over a fifty fold increase.
Linn County Republicans garnering news coverage in four newspapers.

And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.

Presidential Candidate and Senator Lindsey Graham did not complain. He was happy to participate at the Fair!

Our complainer couldn't help at the fair. None of his fellow complainers could also help at the fair. Doesn't seem very Fair, does it?

Success is as success does! With thanks to all those who helped – Linn County Republicans appreciates all you do.

 
Whose Webmaster IS? 
 
James Knox
 
And which by the way has the  Lie I mentioned in my Last Post
 
All of that taken into consideration I give the Deleted Facebook Post put up by Mr Knox on his Facebook Wall

Worth Its Weight In Gold

 

If someone tells you they are going to do something and they never get around to it.

You might say,

"They can Talk the Talk, but they can't Walk the Walk".

 

Or maybe you would say,

"His mouth wrote a Check, his Actions can't Cover". 

 But if someone tells you they have already DONE something and it isn't so?

We have different language for that.

 

It is Now  July 13th FIVE Days after this was posted on the Linn County GOP Website.

 

Jul082015

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 

And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.

And the pictures in question?

Are STILL laying on their sides

Now sometimes a person can say something that isn't True and be Mistaken.

And sometimes they can be repeating something they were TOLD and that they BELIEVE to be True.

But when it concerns something that they said they had already done and it has not been done?

It is a pretty sure bet that they KNOW what they are saying is not the Truth.

 

We have different language for that.

 

We might say, "Him? His Word is worth its Weight in Gold.".

For anyone who makes the mistake of thinking that was a complement, just answer this question.

How much does a Word weigh? 

 

 

The General Public does not know the details but most of us here can tell the author, I assume to be the LCRCC Webmaster has taking a shot at Me.

That really doesn't bother me,

Insults from some people can be considered a

Badge of Honor.

 

 

 

So while it may or may not be appropriate for the LCRCC Webmaster to use the Official Linn County Iowa GOP Website for a Personal attack, the real matter to me is that

                 He LIED 

 He Lied on the Official Linn County Iowa GOP Website

 

If we wish to tell people that our Party is the Ethical Alternative?

 

Maybe we should not allow people to lie on our official Website? 

 

If any of my readers should come in contact with someone on the LCRCC Executive Committee they might ask them how they feel about this issue and what they plan to do about it? 

 

 

 

UPDATE:  There were originaly two posts with the picture laying sideways, there were two copies of each post. 

One of the copies

That of the one I used as an example above

Has been deleted

Leaving one copy of it on the page and two copies of the other post. 

All   still have the picture laying side ways


At Least its a start 

 

We have a responce from the LCRCC Webmaster

 

Hey Daffy Dan (Kaufmann) maybe you should actually find out who made the posts you seem to be so frustrated with. I can guarantee you it was not me. I take too much pride in doing something right and have always stood up when I do good or bad.

That must mean that Mr Knox is no longer posting or acting as an Admin on the LCRCC Facebook pages OR the LCRCC Website? 

 

They still have all the duplicated posts that he has been so famous for and never has bothered to edit since he was fist setting up his auto posts.

So I don't see any change and I will take his claim "take too much pride in doing something right and have always stood up when I do good or bad."

With a grain of salt. 

 

PS the Official LCRCC Group Discussion Page list these admins

 You know I don't seem to see ANYONE from the Marketing Team there besides Mr Knox

 

 

 

I like how he stays strictly inside the Line of the Truth

 Yes it is True the Chair Cindy Golding is an Admin

Yes it is True the Co-Chair Brett Mason is an Admin

Yes it  is True that members of the Marketing Team are Admins

It is just that the Two members of the Marketing Team who are Admins

Are both named James Knox?

The Advisory Board Gag Order

 

 

 
Whispers on the Wind have told me there was a bit of contention at the last Advisory Board Meeting. 
 
 
SOMEONE was asking Questions about the Caucuses particularly about the number of locations.
 
It seems they wanted some information in order to GASP try to give some Advice.
 
This is JUST NOT DONE under the New Administration.
 
 You see there is Advice
 
And then there is Advice that has been APPROVED.
 
In other words if you are going to give Advice you will be TOLD when to give it and probably WHAT advice to give.
 
We have TEAMS that contol these things now under the Guidance of our Exective Committe and our County Chair Cindy Golding who I understand had quite a little fit.
 
Someone asking questions and attempting to give Advice at an Advisory Board Meeting??
 
The Very Idea! 
 
We can find similiar control in the May Minutes of the LCRCC 
 
Althea Cole move, "To conduct an online web and social media audit by Bill Dahlsten, former Chair of the Communications Committee, and the Team Leader of the Marketing and PR Team Lead, Frank Sladek, so we may take a look at our successes and our failures of all our online footprint of the Linn County Republican Central Committee."
 
The Chair referred the request to the Marketing and Public Relations Team. 
 

 A Member of the Body Made a MOTION

Althea Cole move, "To conduct an online web and social media audit by Bill Dahlsten, former Chair of the Communications Committee, and the Team Leader of the Marketing and PR Team Lead, Frank Sladek, so we may take a look at our successes and our failures of all our online footprint of the Linn County Republican Central Committee."

 

The Chair referred the request to the Marketing and Public Relations Team.

 

Said motion WAS seconded, but the Secretary did not bother to mention that in the minutes

And then?

The Chair Deep Sixed it into the  Marketing and Public Relations Team.

No Debate

No Vote

Just Censorship

Quite Illegal by the way at least if you give any credence to the County Constitution, By Laws or Rules of Order

Which this Exectutive Committee and this Chair Cindy Golding do not seem to bother to do if it would interfere with what they want. 

 

I will conclude here

It is Now  July 10th TWO Days after this was posted on the Linn County GOP Website.

 

And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.

And the pictures in question?

Are STILL laying on their sides

Pinocchio Awards

 

 

 

 

 
Some of our News Media have taken to awarding what they call Pinocchios for statements they find shall we say Dubious. 
 
A few days ago I wrote a post commenting on some of the failings of the LCRCC Facebook Fanpage to wit duplicate postings and photos rotated 90 degrees from what they should be or laying on their sides.
 
I got a response yesterday on the Linn County GOP website.
 
After reading it and checking a few details I am trying to decide exactly how many Pinocchios to award it.
 
Maybe my readers can help me. 
 
The response I mentioned can be found at a post called
 

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 
I include that link for anyone who wished to read it at the source but I will also put a screen shot here
 

What happens when we go to the county fair?

 

 


 

What happens when we go to the county fair? Here's what people see:

Linn County Republicans at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans with Elected Representatives at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans and Candidate representatives meeting constituents and engaging them.
Linn County Republicans running a local straw poll.
Linn County Republicans engaging new people to participate in Caucus.
Linn County Republicans drawing Presidential Candidates.
Linn County Republicans garnering TV coverage at the Fair.
Linn County Republicans holding a Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser.
Linn County Republicans improving profitability of Fundraiser for over a fifty fold increase.

Linn County Republicans garnering news coverage in four newspapers.

And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.

Presidential Candidate and Senator Lindsey Graham did not complain. He was happy to participate at the Fair!

Our complainer couldn't help at the fair. None of his fellow complainers could also help at the fair. Doesn't seem very Fair, does it?

Success is as success does! With thanks to all those who helped – Linn County Republicans appreciates all you do.

 
 
I am going to have to admit when I saw the following
 
And, yes, one person complained that two website and facebook posts had pictures sideways. These were corrected within the first hour after posting.
 
I was ELATED. I mean FINALLY after multiple postings on this site and multiple people pointing out things like this in the Facebook  Fanpage Comments 
 
Someone actually FIXED something
 
Turns out they just CLAIMED they fixed it
 
There is no Time Stamp on that Linn County GOP Post, but I first read it about 3PM Wednesday after noon
 
It is now  about 2:30 AM Thursday Morning
 
Here is a screen shot of one of the two postings I had in my last article

The only thing I can determine is that the author of

Has their own definition of the word sideways

Or lives in another universe that has a much different temporal flow so that an hour has not in fact passed since the posting. 

 

Be that as it may there was some VERY exciting news in this posting

 Linn County Republicans holding a Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser.

Linn County Republicans improving profitability of Fundraiser for over a fifty fold increase.

 Now that is exciting.  A Fifty fold increase in profitablity of the Chili Cook Off

Why that would mean if they kept to their two hour time schedule, they would have served over 5000 people

Almost 1 a second

If each person got say a cup (8 oz) of Chili

Why that would have been over 340 gallons

Not to mention the 27 thousand dollars they would have had to make to end up with a fifty fold ( 50 times) profitability! 

 

I WILL be expecting our next Treasurers report to reflect this increase in the LCRCC Bank Account.

 

Still in all I am puzzled by the claim that  

 

 These were corrected within the first hour after posting.  

 

I mean WHO makes claims about things that are a matter of public record,

That anyone can see are Not True?

Let me check the other post that was side ways
