The state needed someone who had some new ideas, but the state was not ready yet for someone with too many new concepts and a sweeping change of the guard. Tony seemed to and is still today, making a better difference in the party than previous leadership. <br /><br />Also, who do you remember was running for state party chair that was VERY MC or RP friendly? No one if I remember right. Tony is a business owner and hates many of the current invasions of our privacy through the Dept. of Health (DNA), etc - but its not the party chair's role to champion a cause such as Dr. Paul's. Its his role to WIN elections for the party he serves. That in the end is how he will be judged and how we RP people will judge him. <br /><br />In the end, and given the candidates to choose from, I thought that helping to influence a race in the internal workings of the party was better than sitting idly by and doing nothing. <br /><br />Thanks<br />-Tony V <br />(once active 54B officer, now overworked and over-traveling for his job once again)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-53047033578376054532009-06-02T10:19:36.124-05:002009-06-02T10:19:36.124-05:00Craig,

Any denial of the list to a requesting delegate or alternate can be appealed to the full State Central Committee. The full State Central Committee can reverse such a denial by a simple majority vote. A written policy for State Central Committee list access, including specific criteria for denial of access, shall be an agenda item for the next meeting of the State Central Committee bylaw subcommittee.MikeWBLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927687039951665644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-16543213574648421272009-06-01T14:36:09.479-05:002009-06-01T14:36:09.479-05:00I think Westover has it right in his post at http:...I think Westover has it right in his post at http://wrightrepublican.blogspot.com/2009/06/westover-listing-to-right.htmlDrew Emmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103278443140823082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-58926521787978482922009-06-01T14:34:32.532-05:002009-06-01T14:34:32.532-05:00So State Central Committee members should not be a...So State Central Committee members should not be allowed to communicate with each other?Drew Emmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103278443140823082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-89962577460383123982009-05-31T21:20:11.645-05:002009-05-31T21:20:11.645-05:00The sad part here is that I when I read the party ...The sad part here is that I when I read the party constitution, I thought State Central members were elected to represent their BPOU/CD not a congressman from Texas.<br /><br />For someone who was concerned about people "barking on cue" you now express concern that these people are not barking to your chosen puppet master.<br /><br />And Drew - State Central Committee members are well know to those who they represent.<br /><br />Just like I don't want a Congressman or Senator from Minnesota representing the interests of San Fransico California - I don't think the State Central representatives from Duluth really need to represent Wright County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-65452303831720070962009-05-31T11:48:22.379-05:002009-05-31T11:48:22.379-05:00Does anyone know who's on the State Central Commit...Does anyone know who's on the State Central Committee?Drew Emmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103278443140823082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-21728774656993313922009-05-31T03:11:17.328-05:002009-05-31T03:11:17.328-05:00Read my blog.

Those results are measured when you defeat the DFL. <br /><br />The chest thumping and gloating by some, proud of their part, in the elimination of "the Old Guard" including myself, means there are very few experienced party volunteers left in the Republican Party, who know how elections are won. So to the "New Guard" I say - You broke it, you bought it, you own it, and it's your responsibility to win. <br /><br />But don't assume that "Old Guard" volunteers like myself will pack up and leave, there are plenty of arena's where our expertise is still welcome, for we are a proven commodity, and to a select few of the "New Guard", we will show them the ropes, and teach them how to avoid the mistakes and pitfalls. But we will also continue to be on the sidelines, being the critics of the current and future Republican Party leadership. <br /><br />The clock is ticking and so far, the scoreboard reads - New Guard "0".<br /><br />John McAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423868999082505525.post-18454648762873987542009-05-30T20:02:52.924-05:002009-05-30T20:02:52.924-05:00Based on the controlling nature of many of the old...Based on the controlling nature of many of the old guard, from the caucuses where many of the Liberty movement started thru the recent conventions, little has changed. <br />One of the signatories has a blog post about his support.

Why didn’t he raise and support motions that would have promoted positive change if he disagreed with Ron Carey? Was he too timid or did he support the destruction of our party? It simply doesn’t compute.<br /><br />I trust the MC post will get the signatories to dig deep to help us understand their support of the last few years.MikeWBLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927687039951665644noreply@blogger.com
