• The Chair explained that the Iowa Code, the Republican Party Constitution and Bylaws and the

Linn County Republican Party Constitution and the Linn County Republican Party Bylaws require

that the committee re-organize by April 1st following each general election.

• Under Roberts Rules of Order committees and motions passed during the previous cycle expire.

• The Chair explained that David Chung, Paul Pelletier and Richard Bice had been contacted 

in regard to parliamentarian review.

I call something like this a "Michael Moore" because it leads those who hear or read it to think one thing, but if pressed the author can honestly(?) claim that is not what they said at all. 

So you know me what do you think?

 

Do you think I gave a definitive ruling?

 

But if I had I would have been man enough to be there to defend it. 

 

 Now as to their claims that all this was required?

They are based on the Sections of the Constitution and the Bylaws that discuss the OFFICERS

 And in fact discuss the requirements for organizing the Officer's elections before April 1st following each General Election.

If they referred to a massive overhaul of the Committee then this would be mentioned in the Section on the Commitee

Constitutuon 

V. OFFICERS

The officers of this Central Committee shall be a chairman, co-chairman, secretary and

treasurer, and such other members as the County Central Committee in its by-laws may

provide. The Central committee shall organize following each general election, but no later

than the following April 1. 

 Bylaws

V. OFFICERS

The officers of the Central Committee shall consist of a Cahir, Co-Chair, Secretary and

Treasurer whose terms shall be for a period of two (2) years and the same shall be elected

immediately following each general election, but no later than the following April 1.

They also mentioned Sections of the State Constitution and Bylaws and Election Code but were lacking on details

 But they DID follow a Pattern of Behavior that we have seen before

 We have a CRISIS we MUST ACT NOW in this case before April 1st

OH and one of the Foremost Parliamentarians in the State Says we HAVE to do this or OMG The SKY WILL FALL.

 That last bit was as True this time as it has been True other times it has been used in point of Fact

Not True At All

SO

If your vote the Night of the St Patrick's Day Massacre when 4 years of hard work and every single Sub-Committee we had established and all the members of those Committees went down the tube.

Was swayed because you BELIEVED that one of the Foremost Parliamentarians in the State of Iowa Said that this was REQUIRED?

YOU GOT PLAYED 

But they did everything from the BEST of Intentions because we all SO need Guidance
