Is this a threat? Texas RPR be aware

from the article posted by joe

Along these lines, Alan Sager is Travis County Republican Party Chairman in Austin, Texas. Here are excerpts from his comments on the primary in the TCRP weekly newsletter (March 9th, 2008, Vol. II, No. 10):

“One of our very best long time precinct chairs, Jack Otto, lost his bid for re-election. . . . TCRP will not be the same without him. Jack was beaten by one of the insurgent Ron Paul precinct chair candidates.

“The Ron Paul supporters claim to have elected more than 1/3 of the new precinct chairs which is not a surprise. I had been told about their plans about 6 months ago and I know a good deal about their local operations, infighting and modus operandi. They also dominated many precinct conventions. . . .

“I suggest the first order of business at each of our Senatorial Conventions and at the first Executive Committee Meeting is to have attendees commit to whole heartedly supporting Senator McCain, Senator Cornyn and every one else on our ballot. If not, they should resign. Everyone is free to pursue their positions, but not as officials of the Republican Party or delegates to the state and national conventions. . . .”

Ok, now,

everyone here will choose to be sheep in the wolf's clothing. Meaning, we will act like one of them, talk like one of them, and then BAM! I mean BAAA! Then off we go to the conventions.

Happening elsewhere to....

Similar tactics were used in Washington state too:

"What I watched was simply awash in irony as 11th District Chair Ruth Gibbs, former top secretary for the 1988 Washington State Presidential campaign of Rev. Pat Robertson dished out the same welcome to new Ron Paul Delegates as she and her Pat Robertson Delegates got from the GOP establishment twenty years ago, that is: Thanks for playing, but this is for insiders only, Please go home, now.”

We decided last week at our meetup that the only chance we'd have is to remain stealth if we were to get elected as a committeeperson and then on to delegate.

Not going to be easy!

We are dealing with a group of adversaries who are willing to go to war in other countries to protect their interests. Of course they are willing to go to war with anyone who threatens them here in the States as well. Should we really believe they are just going to hand the election or the party over to us? This isn't going to be easy, even if we manage to get a majority of delegates to the Convention. This is why we need as many numbers as we can get to go to St. Paul, delegates and volunteers.

If you can't be a delegate, then volunteer at the convention, you will be able to influence undecided voters.

They have made it easy to take back over what is ours

The answer is right there, in Alan Sager 's own words. "I suggest the first order of business at each of our Senatorial Conventions and at the first Executive Committee Meeting is to have attendees commit to whole heartedly supporting Senator McCain, Senator Cornyn and every one else on our ballot."

So, according to Mr Sager, supporting 'their' candidate is more important than supporting the principles, rules, or by-laws of the party. Sounds like it's time to propose and vote on an expulsion there...

I have read that this very same

guy (Sager) got sued back in 2003. He shortchanged a lot of his employees in the hair salon franchise.

Coerced and Endorsed Corruption?

I just re-read the post. Is this not coersed and endorsed corruption on a large scale ('Everyone on our ballot')?

“I suggest the first order of business at each of our Senatorial Conventions and at the first Executive Committee Meeting is to have attendees commit to whole heartedly supporting Senator McCain, Senator Cornyn and every one else on our ballot. If not, they should resign. Everyone is free to pursue their positions, but not as officials of the Republican Party or delegates to the state and national conventions. . . .”

Only those who risk going too far, can possibly find how far they can go...

No

Fortune Favors the Bold

However, with a majority, you can overturn their rules.

I say screw the good old boy

I say screw the good old boy network... we vote for principle.. not party lines. what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong!

All we need is small number of

enthusiastic RP supporters to make change

Caution - Think About Blowback

You realize, don't you, that his reaction is the same as that of anyone else we "invade"?

This is why we must be polite, low-key, open and respectful (difficult, I know). Because for every one of him there are 3 or 4 watching what we do in response, trying to decide which faction to join, and if we're not careful they'll resent us, too.

We don't want to provoke blowback in the form of voting to "teach us a lesson" from people who might consider Ron Paul, otherwise.

But nobody likes being told who to vote for. And they'll side with us if we make our case with passion. The best speaker/salesman for Ron Paul should not be stealthy. They should be out front.

IMissLiberty

This IS blowback

In action. They have screwed us for far too long.

Good Point

yes

Make WHO resign????

Sounds like this Alan Sager is exactly the type of sycophant bootlicker that has become the backbone of the Republican Party. Fortunately for us, we know they are weakly supported at the ground level. I've been working hard everyday to convince people that seizing these Precinct Captain seats by vote, or appointment is the best way to go to regain control and redefine the platform of the party. Sager may ask Paulites to support McCain andn the McNasty's, but he cannot force them, and he cannot make them resign!

Do the same thing to his phones and "snail mail". I've dealt with GOP "Judas Wingers" all my life and I'd do that to each and every one of them if I had a chance.

Texas GOP Party Platform

If these Texans actually followed the Texas GOP Party Platform, then they would realize McFly is not in line with the party!

Who Governs the Governless?

Do you see people? Do you

Do you see people?

Do you understand what i have been talking about and how we can win the nomination for Dr. Paul?

I am glad people are listening and doing exactly what they should be doing.

As far as him forming a new slate GOOD LUCK PAL.

They will need the majority of votes and from the looks of it WE KICKED ASS IN TEXAS.

You know what they say right.

EVERYTHING IS BIG IN TEXAS - INCLUDING RON PAUL SUPPORT.

Dr. Steve Parent

Can we bring up a vote to replace the county chairman?

Can we bring up a vote to replace the county chairman, and possibly the entire committee? The county chairman has been doing this for over 20 years...

He stated at the last meeting that he would like a separate highway for trucks... Need I say more?

The Texas GOP platform has never been followed...

Who Governs the Governless?

Means We Go Underground

Do not mention Dr. Paul at your conventions people. Secretly find our guys and take the power away from guys like this.

yup....I have even changed

yup....I have even changed my name in significant places.....wish me luck!

Remember the Alamo!

Have every RP supporter in Texas spam his email with just three words, "Remember the Alama!" I'm certain he'll get the message.

We need to get this guy out of office next.

They better watch their asses because were coming with a viciousness that Americans rarely have when it comes to political motivation. If we can't get Ron Paul in, we'll be damn sure we have people placed in offices below the presidency that support his platform. Keep up the great work everyone.

according to a letter on their homepage...

he isn't seeking re-election.

We then should put

RPer in the position. Texas RPR alert! Texas RPR alert!

This is why

I love Texas. I like the people's 'matter of fact" attitude.

The President's Senator

John Cornyn is not called that for nothing. He is a rubber stamp for the neocon policies of the Bush Administration.

If I was forced to lie in

If I was forced to lie in order to accomplish what is good and right, I would....and I also know that my creator would readily forgive me for that lie. Ya do wutchya gotta do.....

How about RPers

targeting his seat? Is this possible? I'm sure a lot of people does not support McCain. Cronyn is a Bush crony. Texans, you know what to do in the next elections.
