Athens Clark County Georgia Republican Delegate Fraud

Sounds like they are perfecting their technique. I saw it first hand in Newt's old district last time. Good luck ya'll. I can't even stomach the process after what I witnessed last time. Turn the heat up on these vermin.
 
on a side note. I'm impressed at how well they were all dressed. Way to be, guys.
 
The question that that needs to be asked is "who" are the "they" Sue was referring to that was pressuring them in 08, the answer is likely a key to this incident as well.
 
Got a note in my email from Kissup Sue:

Dear Friends,

Thomas Edison once said, “We shall have no better conditions in the future if we are satisfied with all those which we have at present.” This is a simple quote, and yet is one that I have had on my mind for the better part of this week.

On Saturday, each of the Georgia Republican Party’s organized counties hosted their GOP County Conventions, at which they were to elect Delegates and Alternates to the upcoming GAGOP District and State Conventions. Turnout was high, and tensions were higher; though always a fairly competitive process, the election of Delegates and Alternates this year proved to elicit passions that left some exhilarated, some confused and some downright frustrated and disenchanted.

Many long-time members of our Party were elected as Delegates or Alternates to their respective County Conventions this year, and unfortunately chose to sit this round out, expecting to be elected to their District and State Conventions de facto based on their previous service to our cause. Instead, at many of our County Conventions, first-time activists showed up, fully participated in the process and many were ultimately elected to serve as Delegates and Alternates to the upcoming Conventions, sometimes even in the place of Party stalwarts. (WOW)

I have heard from many members of our team this week, and I must say that though I want to see continued growth in our Party, I am equally disheartened at the behavior of many attendees, as well as the apparent contentment of a large portion of our base.

With the gains of the Republican Party in Georgia over the past decade, complacency is an all-too-simple wave to ride. The stark truth of the matter is that when we don’t show up, we lose.

I urge those of you elected as Delegates and Alternates to our District and State Conventions to take this not as a warning, but rather a charge forward. Much has been accomplished in Georgia due entirely to the drive, support and efforts of our Republican grassroots. The road ahead to victory, however, will require nothing short of our absolute best.

The opportunity to represent the Party as a Delegate or Alternate is a privilege, not an entitlement, and I look forward to seeing each and every elected member at the upcoming District Conventions on April 14th and the State Convention in Columbus on May 18th & 19th. Together as a team, we will take our country back!

All my best,



Sue

Does it not say in Robert's rules of order that the chairman controls the meeting and can dismiss at any time? I may very well be wrong, but this was the impression I was under.
 
And BOOM goes the dynamite.

We are taking back this country, one county at a time. I encourage all to get in the fight.
 
How do you allow them to just up and leave? Their legs and or form of transportation should have been put out of commission. Saying that's not fair isn't going to get it done folks.
 
This crap wouldn't go on if we took over the Indy Party.

But no, too many people want to cozy up to the establishment thinking they are just going to bend over and take it from us.

Wake up! We could be offering the people something real and something big. We will lose against the GOP. It is a failing strategy to work within the GOP system.
 
This is why it is so important to become the party. Congrats to all those who have jumped into their county political infrastructure. You are doing the heavy lifting and I salute you.
 
Is it possible to table a motion to dismiss the chair as soon as the fraud starts?
 
what a travesty by the GOP leadership. How dare they claim to represent my party that way.

The time for honest decent Americans to take this party back is obviously long overdue.

So proud of all the folks who took this leadership to task.

AFAIK, yes. 51% majority removes the chair.

This is what I think could be done.

1. Fraud/Disenfranchisement begins.

2. Immediate motion to dismiss the chair.

3. If we are a majority (which we should know comparing our numbers to the total number present before things start) then the chair is dismissed. This should be documented on video, and the numbers documented also.

At this point, the rules have been followed, a vote taken and won to dismiss the chair has been documented, so now we are within the rules to elect a new chair which can be done very quickly, then just carry on without the fraudsters.

Two slates may then end up being submitted if they carry on and we carry on separately, but the test as to which slate is valid MUST be the GOP rules. If we followed the rules and others did not, then our slate is valid and theirs is not. They effectively will have gone through the process with a dismissed chair making all their efforts useless and a waste of time.

Literally have our own process.

Something like this needs to be done I think. Take them out of the process if they won't follow the rules.
