The Central Committee was without Form and a Voice said:
Let there be Sub-Committees
And it was so.
There arose the Organizational Committee
And the Central Committee said
Go forth and multiply and Organize Sub-Committees each of their own kind and Function.
And the Organizational Sub-Committee begat:
The Credential Committee
The Communications Committee
The Event Committee
The Finance Committee
The Office Committee
The Elections Committee
Each according to their kind and Function,
And the Executive Board said:
We need Charters
And the Ad Hoc Committee arose to write proposed Charters so that Each Sub-Committee might know their Own Function and not Infringe on Others.
And it came to Pass that the Charters were brought to the Central Committee
And each Charter said:
They shall Report to the Executive Board or they Shall Report to the Organizational Commitee
And the Central Committee said
NO
For Lo they said the Constitution does say:
"The Executive Committee is subject to the orders of the Linn County Central Committee, and none of its acts shall conflict with actions of the Linn County Central Committee. "
As these Committees are PART of the Central Committee they shall Report TO the Central Committee.
And a great gnashing of teeth and rending of hair was heard from the Tents of the Chair.
Thus ALL Sub-Committees Each of their Own Kind and Function was given Charters detailing their Function
EXCEPT
The Organizational Committee
Which was not yet Organized to present a Charter.
And the Central Committee said
Two months you have and then return with a Charter
Which
They did not feel like doing, They chose to do other things,
Despite the By-Laws which say
"Any member of the County Central Committee who------who fails to promptly carry out his or her assigned duties within the time specified under the organization's program which the Committee has adopted may be removed by action of the county Central committee"
But the Central Committee was Merciful and Gave them Until AFTER THE ELECTION
Which was over 3 months ago?
So have they become Organized enough to do what EVERY OTHER Sub-committee has done and devise a Charter to present?
I really feel we should devise a Charter FOR them and in it change the name to--
The Disorganizational Committee
Recently one of its members sent the Sub-Committee Chair an Email asking about a scheduled meeting
The reply from that Chair was
I have no clue why, but there is no meeting.
Say WHAT?
I am certain we all remember the Debate last Summer about Who Calls a Meeting of a Sub-Commitee
If the CHAIR does not know why a meeting is not being held WHO DOES?
Because if the answer should be at the Direction of a Member of the Executive Committee?
It would constitute an Unconstitutional abrogation of the Authority of the Central Commitee
Rather like the Unconstitutional Executive Orders coming out of Washington these days
