The Executive Committee is subject to the orders of the Linn County Central Committee

I have been getting the impression that they view the direction of powers and responsibility to be in the other direction.

They are mistaken,.  The above was a direct quote from the County Constitution by the way.

We need to discuss and clarify these matters before ANY other actions are taken.

I have had long discussions on this subject,  With one gentleman who stated and I believe it to be true that his and my ultimate goals are the same.

I think that to be true. Our ideas on Means and Methods differ.

In one communication he wrote to me:

 The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

FIRST: Is it the TRUTH?
SECOND: Is it FAIR to all concerned?
THIRD: Will it build
GOODWILL
& BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
FOURTH: Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?

I have tried to stay with the Truth, but the Truth is not FAIR it is what it is.  You cannot split the truth up so both sides have equal shares,  The Truth may or may NOT build Goodwill or Friendship.

It is said the Truth will Set you Free, but First it will Tick you off. Oh and the Truth is not necessarily going to benefit all concerned,

If some one is acting out of mistaken beliefs they may not react in a friendly manner to having that pointed out, they may not feel that action is a benefit to their plans.

Some times you have to make a choice between what you think is Right and how other people Feel about it.

On the subject of closing the Permanent Party Office?  The gentleman's opinion seemed to be that closing it did not matter, that in the Past such offices were temporary, mostly for elections.

I could have responded that the Permanent Office was a Symbol of our presence in the Community,  That symbols are important,. They give Structure and Purpose.

They give us something to work toward and maintain during the periods of time between elections,  That the temporary offices for the Election were the Victory Offices in Marion.

That is really beside the point. The Point is the Executive Board

 HAD NO RIGHT to take such an action without the approval of the Central Committee.  That is the point,

Now this man I spoke to is a very nice person,  He really wants the Central Committee to function and work,.

He also wants this to be done without hurting anyone's feelings or making a big ruckus,.

My thoughts?

If you want Happiness   Believe

If you want Truth   Inquire.

I am not one to sit back and believe everything I am told, I looked into these matters as they are laid out in the County  Constitution and By-Laws

 IE I Inquired.

And I decided that this must stop and the only way that will happen is if they are brought out into the Light of Day.
