To Advise And Assist

 

 

 

 

The Constitution of the United States grants certain Powers to the

 

Executive Branch with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.

 

The Constituion of the Linn County Republican Central Committee

 

is more limiting.

 

IT states that  "The Executive Committee is under the ORDERS of the  Linn County Central Committee and that NONE of its  acts shall  conflict with actions of the Linn County Central Committee"

 

 

 

 

 

It is further stated in the ByLaws that the Executives are to

 

ADVISE and ASSIST the Central Committee in its deliberations.

 

It is important to take note that the Decision Making Power

 

Resides in the Central Committee and that the Executive Board

 

is only supposed to AID the Central Committee in making decisions

 

It does not have the Authority to make them for the Central Committee

 

 

We will presently hold Elections for the Positions in the Executive Board

 

The proposed Nomination Rules call for only a 2 minute speech

 

by the Nominees and NO questions from the Floor.

 

The intent of these rules when they were first adopted was to limit

 

debate during the Nomination Meetinig BECAUSE it was assumed

 

that the Membship would have an Entire Month between Nominations

 

and Elections to ask any Questions they might desire of the Nominees.

 

The proposed Rules unless we amend them will make that impossible

 

SO

 

I suggest that the membship ask the Nominees in an email what THEY

 

think about the two portions of the Constitutions and Bylaws I  mentioned

 

above.  Or any other questions you may have.

 

I intend to do so myself

 

And I promise to post any answers here on this website

 

I will place the answer in a single post for each Nominee

 

I will only use a photo that has been submitted to the Central Committee

 

by the Nomines to the LCRCC Website or Facebook Group and or Fan Page

 

I will no matter how much Strain refrain from ANY comments by myself in these

 

Posts.

 

The Comments Section of the Hot Issues website will however as it always is

 

remain open for the Enlightened Input of my Readers.

 

Contact Information and Bios for some nominees can be found on the LCRCC Website

 

Robin Tucker sent out an Email which I have  duplicated and placed on a webpage

 

Should there be other Nominees who stand for office I will Update this Post

 

Remember
