County Committee Executive officers quit

Last week at my County Central Committee meeting, the Executive Committee resigned.

This includes the Chair, vice-chair, treasurer, congressional committee man and woman, and our state committee man and woman these were all "old guard". They said that they felt the party was devided because of Ron Paul. We (RPer's) did get a majority of the precinct positions during the Primaries.

I have learned the same thing has happened in the County north of of me as well.

The question I have for the group here is, has this happened in your County or is this a local ( Montana) thing ?

Are there any precinct captains that have reports from thier county?

Ground up that is grassroots.

If this is happening we are winning and they are quitting and going home. This opens up all of these positions to us the Ron Paul Republicans to take over our county party and state party positions.

Looking forward to the comments on this topic.

They figure they trashed the party so completely...

the Republican label is worthless. Well, "Made in Japan" was a joke until Toyata, Datusn (Nissan) and Honda imported quality vehicles. Once you take over, you have two challenges. The relatively easy one is recruiting quality candidates, and that's tough enough. Much harder will be keeping the back-stabbing scum out. The best way you can do this is to stand by your principles, and ruthlessly enforce party discipline against anyone who doesn't.

thats a good analogy

thanks for that

Thanks

for your advise Bob-45. We will continue the Revolution one battle at a time, each county, each state, and at all levels and on every front.

Congratulations!

Nice work!

Fantastic! Not a lot of

Fantastic! Not a lot of people quitting here, but definitely now open-minded and agreeing with me. The plan is working. Full speed ahead. By the way, we represent Liberty, so our plan is operating in the light, not darkness. Only evil operates in darkness.

Now is the time to step it up...,And the next 2 years

take the republican party over, back to its roots..
and send these Rhino Neo cons home..

Don't just kick your enemy when they are down.

Finish the Job.

Decapitate the SOB..

more ron paul libertarians == good

The party needs to be remade into what it once was and this is how its done.
Stuff like this makes me want to move to montana even more. Too bad a lot of other states havent seen the light yet.
This has not, and probably never will happen in MA. The people here are too stupid and dependent on the state to manage their lives.
Funny that the places with the most honest working people are the ones with the more libertarian government while those that set themselves up as welfare magnets and nanny states are rife with the apathetic and ignorant.
It all comes down to personal responsibility.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants

Personal responsibilty

We will be using terms like self-reliance and personal liberty and Constitutional Republicans.

Yes, I see the same thing about nanny government and apathy.

What's tour county committee like can you get like minded people to get in and gain majority ?

Check out my county chairman!

Here is the Daily Paul thread

We are very close to doing

We are very close to doing the same thing in Florida;-)

Absolutely makes sense to get involved with the county Republican Party. Third Party's are just not a viable option at this time. All it takes is an hour or so a month to go to county Republican meetings. Then get to work on transforming them.

this is good news! lol love

this is good news! lol love it!

Gee, I will have to

look into this when I went they all looked about a hundred years old maybe they wised up and left.

Nice if only the LP and CP

Party people would come to the GOP. This would happen more.
Man was born to be free and independent

You can participate in non-GOP activities too...

...there is no reason why you have to be "exclusively" GOP.

In Florida, the party oath of allegiance is so watered-down by the establishment GOP that you can outright contribute and work for Democrats. Of course, beyond this example is the fact that we are each free to associated as we will for the greatest benefit we see we can make.

So go ahead and be a part of the GOP, CP, LP and any other P you'd like.

Remember, be all things to all men using all the means at your disposal to save from the chaos to come.

I hope those vacant

I hope those vacant positions are scooped up by Ron Paul supporters....

That is the plan

"...We’re here today to send a message, not just to the Republican Party, not just to the politicians in power, but to the whole country and possibly the whole world. The power brokers are convinced that they can maintain control with no serious challenge. They have it wrong ! We will challenge them on all fronts - in every state and at all levels of government. Individual liberty must be our goal. Peace and prosperity will follow..." ~Ron Paul, September 2, 2008

I got Dennis Kucinich

that is about all I know. He hasn't got it all quite together yet, but he is better than most. Great job in Montana, every office we fill is one step closer. Even if it is a Ron Paul supporter cleaning toilets in The White House, I will say it is progress. Keep up the great work!!! This is how it is done. You are doing just what the doctor ordered

We arent quite that lucky here in our county....

But C4L and RLC people are almost half of the members showing up at the county executive committee meetings!

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. “ - Thomas Jefferson

almost half

That may change to more than half and then you are the voting majority.
That was what has led us to this point.
If we obtain voting majority we are in control of the committee.

If there are any vacant positions get them filled with our people.
Also check your rules regarding the replacement of PC's that never attend and if possible replace them.
Also see some of my answers to other posts below

What the Old Guard didn't want

to embrace a Constitutional Republic, individual liberty, personal responsibility, sound money, non-interventionist policies, etc. that the Founding Father wrote and taught? I guess it is about power and control and if they can't have them, then they don't want part of it what makes this country great.

HA Ha Ha yeah

ROTFLMAO

THIS IS BEYOND GREAT NEWS!!!

Please send me a shout at contact ..and I will get you on a radio interview..so all the RP Republicans can realize how close we are to a major victory!!!!!!

Also keep us posted of your results.. up there in GUN country!!

We plan to elect all the top officials next meeting....

Let me keep the state off the screen for right now in case we have moles, but I'm in the largest legislative district in our state. We have the votes and the proxies to elect all 5 district officers at our next meeting (coming up soon). That is unless they are successful in playing dirty tricks. We blind-sided them at the last meeting with 73 votes to their 37 to elect all our people to the Nominating Committee but they've already started changing rules (and the next meeting location) in an attempt to hold on to power by invalidating our proxies.

Two of the three largest districts in our state have more RP people as PC's than the old guard has.

Think good thoughts for us. I'll start a new string in the next couple of weeks to let you all know how the vote went.

nice

Let us know how this progresses.

Please have everyone and their spouses show up to get the needed votes!

Wonderful news!

I hope that we see more of this. I am a newly elected committee member and my first official meeting is in December. Hope to see a lot of empty neocon seats! :)

Don't let the door hit ya in the a$$!

YEAH

that's the spirit

We are the "boots on the ground" door to door activists for liberty
~S4L

Hell, I wish!

Out here in the People's Republic of New Jersey, we don't have to worry about our 'executive committee' exiting anytime soon!

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

Local

It all starts locally, check out your area find empty or unfilled precinct people positions and get elected or help someone in another precinct.

The people who flooded the parties primaries must now flood the party during the legislative session, new season, same plan.

Restore the republic-restore the Constittution

Get out your local, Current, GOP Rule Book ASAP

and organize an orderly takeover, before they change their minds!

Did they put it in writing? did they resign on film or audio? When are their resignations effective?

These are the breaks we are looking for and so well need! do not wait another day!

--Daryl

effective as of ****

The date of our last meeting. Yes emailed to all Republican party members in the County and a Chairman pro temp was elected to serve until our county convention in the spring and emergency elections are set for the 20th for the other vacated positions.

Did The r3volution

take over the position of chairman pro temp?

Yes

One of our people was elected.

sloganeering

I would like to suggest that we keep the "in your face" sloganeering out of it, and just get the positions.

The REVOLUTION turned off older people, including my parents. They told me so. They did go to a RP rally, and donated. They still thought the REVOLUTION was directed at them.

Let's make friends as much as we can while taking the positions.

An "awe shucks" I'm just a regular guy/gal Republican here to help attitude can be effective.

good

it's better to work with them, and not alienate anybody. but heck, let them quit.

That's great news!!

I haven't heard of anyone quiting
here in Washington,but I did get
an email from the party after the election that sounded like they were pretty darn depressed and had no clue as to what to do next.

This is Very Good News!

Many counties didn't have many of the Precinct Committee Person slots filled, and if we had all done as Dr. Paul suggested and became candidates for these slots, we would be able to influence GOP policy and take over the county offices and, eventually the state!

Precinct slots

can be filled by the committee electing them until the next Primaries.
That is how most of us got in and almost all held thier seats after the elections. If you are in a empty precinct go to next meeting and ask to be nominated or self nominate during "new business" Use Roberts Rules and address the chair.

In our state by-laws, the appointed PCP's are not allowed

to vote in the November Central Committee meeting to replace the officers. Only the elected PCP's can vote to elect. Make sure you check and see if this is so in your Central Committee. Get your State rules AND your county Central Committee rules and read them.

Yes, Thanks

We all have been elected/voting members for a while now and have not had any new people come to the meeting to be elected in a few months.
You must remember Ron Paul won the primary in my county, so we are active.

Time for more people (RPer's) to try to do it ????

~S4L

That's really fantastic !

Do you got Ron Paul like-minded people who can take those positions there? Please keep us updated on what's going on.

People worldwide support Dr. Paul too :-)

keep active

Liberty is our campaigns gift to the world it is our manifest destiny.
Freedom is a movement who's time has come. Our campaign will lead to world wide freedom.

YES

We will meet on the 20th for elections until our County Convetion in the spring. We have the majority vote in my county, so I believe we can fill all empty positions. We elected one of our own as chairman pro temp until the next emergency meeting on the 20th.

WOW... you can have your own little coup! Go for it!

Was unsure for awhile about the Republican party ground up change idea, but yeah I will go for it. Maybe the state or congresional committeeman spot.
