Harris County Court at Law Judge Lloyd Vacates Gary Polland and Debra Medina’s Restraining Order and Dismisses their Case Against RPT
Lloyd rules Polland’s case was “Void ab initio” or illegal from the beginning
Austin - Today, Harris County Court at Law Judge Roberta Lloyd held a hearing on last week’s misguided and misfiled lawsuit against the Republican Party of Texas by former Harris County Republican Party Chairman Gary Polland and current Texas State Campaign Coordinator for The Committee to Re-elect Ron Paul. Judge Lloyd ruled that Mr. Polland had filed his lawsuit and request for a Temporary Restraining Order with a court with no jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. Polland and Ms. Medina were seeking to evade rules passed by Republican grassroots and used for decades to conduct the Texas G.O.P. Convention and thereby disenfranchise the legal delegates and alternates from the convention process.
“Today grassroots leaders of our State were saved from the litigious cajoling of a disgruntled few who resorted to judicial activism rather than use the appropriate venue of the Texas Legislature to change an existing statute they didn’t like or didn’t understand; and they were thwarted by a judge who knew it was wrong,” said Hans Klingler Texas G.O.P. Spokesman.
Gary Polland is the former G.O.P. Chairman of Harris County and Debra Medina currently serves as the Texas State Campaign Coordinator for The Committee to Re-elect Ron Paul and the Wharton County G.O.P. Chairman. Neither individual has ever expressed interest in changing the Party rules or this statute according to public records, nor have they attempted to get a bill filed doing so.
“For all of Gary Polland’s and Debra Medina’s histrionics, both have shown an incredible lack of understanding of the Party process or the Texas Election Code. The Republican State Convention has always and will continue to be conducted in full compliance with the law and the rules passed by the grassroots. If someone wishes to change the law, they have an opportunity next year when the Texas Legislature convenes. You would think two political operatives like them would know that?” Klingler questioned.
The Judge has "passed" the buck on up to an appellate court.
The cost of this appeal is approximately $2500 so... this post is asking for your most generous donation to continue the cause of fair convention. The same chipin link should work that those of you who donated before.... and for those that did not - please consider it this go around!
We're making a difference! Please help the cause of a FAIR convention!
