Hot Issues From Linn County Iowa
Tuesday, 28 July 2015
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

 

James Knox's photo.

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.

Like   

 

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

James Knox Paul I'd feel safe in saying they act like fascists not Republicans open to freedom and liberty.
 
 
 
 

 Yes I thought THERE is the REAL James Knox

 

Then there was  

Matthew O'Neal Ghestspo

July 22 at 10:09pm · Like · 1 

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

 

David Ahart Whig Club LMAO!

July 22 at 11:01pm · Like · 1 

 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

 

James Knox I got a notice...maybe they cancelled it...See screen shot, you cant make this stuff up

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?

reading the outrageous claim that NO ONE not Scheffler back then or Ahart

now has the right to decide who gets to be a Republican

Only Real Republicans Need Apply
 
 
Well we saw what they THINK on the Officail LCRCC Discsusion Page 
 

Another maintenance update, continuing to serve...

Like   
 
 
 
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

When No Man Pursueth

 

 

Mr Knox was ebullient this morning he was quite Vocal

 

James Knox shared his post.

Live to post another day... a response to those who care to silence differing views.

Live to Post Again!

Brenda, Taylor, Steve, Jim, Dan, Althea, Bill and John,

I heard I get the opportunity to post another day. This is simply wonderful and I am sure you are just as pleased as I am!!! Or are you? 

 

Touching but not that accurate.

Our James was not at the meeting last night so he had to get his account second hand

And possibly it was past the Bedtime for some of his friends.

I recall there was a time I too had to be in bed by 8:30 on a school night so I

figure that might explain why some of them are in such a hurry to leave at that time? 

 

The TRUTH is despite the outraged outbursts of the other side that NOTHING

was done that if passed would have prevented Mr Knox from posting

anything he wished to.

As a matter of fact since Steve West's Motion was narrowly defeated

NOW there are limits on his posting ability.

Let me explain.

Some feel that Party Officials should be absolutely NEUTRAL in Public.

Further some feel that it is an Ethical Violation for someone who has

editorial control of the LCRCC Website and Social Media to say something

Negative about a Candidate,

Even further some feel it is even MORE Unethical if that person is ALSO one of the

Officlal Represntatives of another Candidate.

As Mr Knox is.

I noticed that one of our body took up for Mr Knox I found it amusing that

THEY represnt the Same Candidate as Mr Knox, while the Representative of the

Candidate that was slighted did not Agree with them,

I suppose your view on this subject depends on whether YOUR Candidate has

Aided or Slighted

Exactly the situation that Neutrality by Party Officials is meant to avoid,

Now the voting itself was interesting

 

Steve West by the way is one of the LCRCC's Oldest and most Distinguished

Members.  He helped his Father Campaign for Eisenhower in 1952 and

became a member of the LCRCC.

So he has been around for a while and did not show up in the last year or so

and decide he already knew everything

 

His Motion was to Remove Mr Knox as Webmaster and as Admin for any

LCRCC Social Media Websites. 

 

A vote of NO would reject the Motion a vote of YES would affirm  the motion

There were 17 NOs 17 Yes's and ONE Sanction

The Sanction Ballot was discarded so there being a tie of the Ballots counted

the Motion Failed

I take note that there were actually 18 votes against Mr Knox 

 

In any case if James had been removed as Webmaster and Social Media

Admin there would have been NO Ethical Barrier for him to Post anything he

wishes.

As it stands he has been informed to NOT repeat the behavior of that posting

Our James also spoke movingly of his Christian Love for all who do not agree

with him

 

Know this I pray daily for each of you. For it is my hearts

true desire for all of us to work

together in one unified effort. I pray all of you can someday

let your misguided anger go

and work to always get the Republican cause elevated not

your personal propaganda

that in reality limits any effective efforts you could possibly

have in Linn County, Iowa or

in your own life. I pray you will experience the unlimited love

of my Lord Jesus Christ and

with His love in your heart you can serve unconditionally. 

Like I said Touching isn't it?

But before I got home from work?

Our James had Already reverted to form and shown his TRUE Character.

 

James Knox shared his photo.
James Knox's photo.

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.

Like   

 

Yes he went right from Christian Love to

You are  Fascists

Why am I not surprised?

 

 Looks like we are also Ghestspo I figure that is meant 

to be Gestapo,. Matt must be a little tired due to staying over his bedtime last night

Liberals often call Conservatives Nazis or Fascist when they cannot debate

on the field of ideas. It is the Internet equivalent of BAD DOG,

Most don't even know what the words mean.

When I stated that IMO James Knox acted Unethically by slighting an

oppnent of his candidate on a website over which he has editorial control

I was specific about what he had DONE,

When I have stated that the Chair Cindy Golding refused to sign checks that

the body had voted to be paid

I was specific about what she had DONE

Mr Knox and Mr McNeil are just shooing off their mouths.

 

But I will have to admit THIS took the Cake

 

Another maintenance update, continuing to serve...

Let me pull out what caught my eye

trouble makers are not real
 
Republicans?

Why doesn't this little Twerp go tell that to Steve West
 
A man who campained with his Father for Eisenhower in 1952
 
Who has been a Member of the Linn County Central Commitee since 1968
 
Who is a former County Chair?
 
Yes Davy Boy why don;t you tell Steve West and the Rest of us what REALLY
 
Makes a Republcan since we seem to need your permission to be one.

Creative Book Keeping

There is always a temptation to put your best foot forward when making a report

 

BUT when one is trying to find out just how an event DID

 

And possibly determine how to do it better in the Future

 

REAL figures are required.

 

A Claim was made by the Chair Cindy Golding that a figure of $423 was what the LCRCC CLEARED on the Chili Cook Off at the Linn County Fair

According to the Treasurers Report and answers by the Treasurer when his report was given this does not appear to be the case.

 The amounts of $60 before the Fair and $363 during the Fair which add up to $423 were listed in the Treasurers Report as Total Receipts. 

 Expenses were $150 for the Building the Chili Cook Off took place in.

$39.42 Expenses reimbursed to Brenda Hart. 

And there was a  $48.62 Printing cost which was expensed to the Office Budget

 

The Chair informed the Committee that the $48.62 Printing Costs were applied to the Office Budget because that is how we had approved such expenses in the Budget Adopted

              HOWEVER 

If a Good Faith Effort is being expended to determine exactly how effective our Event was ALL expenses created by having the event must be considered.

Therefore it is evident 

 

That $60 + $363 - $150 - $48.62 -  $39.42 =  $184.96

Is closer to the real number

Someone did mention that we ALSO brought in $183.74 from a Straw Poll which was part of the Fair Event

Which gives us

 $184.96 + $183.74 - $280  = $88.70

If we are going to include EVERYTHING then we must also include the Cost for the Booth

So we end up with a Profit of $88.70

The Fair can also be considered not as a Fund Raiser in  which it was pretty limited but as Community Outreach

 

In that it was not too bad

 

The Tickets were I believe $5 each?

So at the Fair we sold tickets to $363 divided by $5 about 72 people plus the people who might have talked to Lindsey Graham etc 

It is though clear that the Claim made by the Chair Cindy Golding that we CLEARED $423 is

             MISTAKEN 

As I understand that the Audit shows that instead of making close to $200 on the Christmas Party we in fact Lost about $200

And considering that we were originally told that the total Receipts for the Fair was what we had Cleared

Due in large part by hiding expenses in other Depts

I am wondering about the Validity of the Claim that the Lincoln Dinner ADDED $1880 to our Treasury.

I think I will be asking our Treasurer Robin Tucker about these matters

When/If I get what I think are solid figures,

I will report them here.

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.

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
