Davidson County GOP Moves To Oust Ron Paul-Supporting Vice Chair

The Davidson County Republican Party took its first steps Tuesday night toward ousting its controversial First Vice Chairman Matt Collins. The party Executive Committee voted 14 to 5 (with two abstentions) to ‘trigger’ the process of removal. A hearing will be scheduled where a required two-thirds majority vote could be taken to remove Collins.

In a statement released on the party’s website Wednesday, the party stated that the reason for the motion to remove were Collins’ “unprofessional actions and words” as well as his use of his title when expressing opinions “derogatory to and disrespectful of Republican candidates or elected officials.” A spokeswoman for DCRP chairwoman Kathleen Starnes would not elaborate on the statement.

Collins has had a tumultuous relationship with the party stemming from his associations with small “L” libertarian groups and the Ron Paul for President campaign. Collins was elected First Vice Chair of the party on April 4 of this year after losing a bid to become chairman of the party in a process that included a deadlocked March 7 election and a subsequent revote.

Let them know about this "kangaroo court". Then watch contributions drop to 2008 levels.

The DCRP Executive committee has given us a focal point to attack. There are names and positions that can now be held up and made accountable. They will be replaced! They have pooped in their nest and now we'll clean up the mess with a bunch of new feathers!

Go Matt!

Go, Fight, Win!

O Captain! My Captain! Rise up and hear the bells!
