What justification did he use to allow Pope to speak but on one else? Or didn't he bother to offer one?

He did not bother. He introduced Pope as my good friend our next party chairman, let him speak and walked out saying "I'm out of here". That's when Jack got up and just starting talking. Very unprofessional and typical of the "old party". So glad AJ and Steve are now elected to the 6th.

Did you guys do anything? Make a fuss about it anything?bump

We left because we were also going to the 2nd district convention. There we several people that asked if they could speak on behalf but the convention chairman flat out said NO.

He did say and do what you said, but he was NOT the CONVENTION chairman, so leaving like that may have been perfectly appropriate. However, his position as "old party" is not clear to me for the following reasons...yes, he seems to favor Pope for NCGOP, BUT, AJ Daoud was his personal choice to succeed himself as District Chair, not the other fellow. As far as I know, Ruden has always put the Party's interests ahead of himself, though his brusqueness has ruffled a lot of feathers over the years. The Convention Chair, on the other hand, is a state legislator and may very well have been "establishment" for all I know. In fairness to the restrictions on speaking, they couldn't even adjourn on time, adding anyone or anything to the schedule would have made it worse. And as you know very well, some of us had to drive hours to get to and from that remote location they decided to hold the convention at. Given your purpose, I can understand the extreme frustration, however. Had you secured a promised slot in advance?

Yes. I emailed him and asked him if Glen could speak. He responded with yes and confirmed he was looking forward to meeting him.

Now do you understand why I am upset? I have asked every chairman via email in advance if Glen could introduce himself. If they say no, then we don't go. If they do not respond, I email again. I have also followed up with phone calls if necessary.

I'm not worried about it, plenty of people saw us there, a good bunch of the people there were active associates of liberty, and the chairman is a good friend now. Win-win. :) The 2nd went well too. Would have gone better if I hit the back half of my stump. :p
 
We still have a lot of needs going into the end of the Districts and then the State convention. I'll be visiting the Republican clubs, and trying to meet as many of the current/new County Chairmen as possible.
 
I can't imagine reaching 100 counties in 40 days, but we can focus on the big ones where I missed County Conventions due to being in other counties. Hmm. Get a list of 100 county monthly meetings if hey have them...
 
So gas, I put off lapel stickers until going into State, would be nice to have them for my own District on the 27th, but not necessary.

Yes, I do understand and you are correct....someone had to know they were wasting your time, deliberately or not. One other thought about the "next" NCGOP Chairman thing....not sure the POO applies here like it does with public office candidates, but he might have come close to a violation of them, and for sure a violation of etiquette by not ensuring equal time for both contenders.

Funny thing about Pope....from what I've heard from reliable people in Wake, he's a standup guy that actually listens to people for the most part. It's his appellation as "the governor's man" that makes me not want to support him even though I really know nothing about Brosch (did meet him at the 6th, though), but I don't particularly like McCrory and actually don't trust him, either.

I've worked with Pope when I was County Chairman. He is someone we can work with but you are correct, endorsed by McCrory makes me leery.
 
Hospitality suites at a State convention are important for State Party Office. People mingle and find out what you are about. And that's where I do best at anyway.

Here is my next round of handouts. Full page back and front:

On the second page, where you say who designed it, you spelled Volunteer in "Grassroots Vulunteer Network" wrong. Just thought I'd point that out before you sent it out. It caught my eye ><
