Messing up your country club are they? :)
It's so frustrating...they just don't adhere to the appropriate attire, know how to hold a teacup with the pinkie extended just so, or even the proper etiquette when one is nibbling crustless cucumber sandwiches. Can you believe it?
Simply tragic.
Forget the silly “country club” comments. You just show that your target is some strawman that you want to tear down, not a rule of law or the building up of the Party. You definitely don’t seem to identify yourself as a Republican.
If we vote on the permanent Convention Chairman at the first general session, rather than at the second, their lawsuit will causing practical problems for volunteers who have to pay for hotel rooms and leave jobs and other obligations to attend the convention.
Since we have to travel from Comal County to Houston, that extra 2 to 3 hours of lee-way before it is necessary for us to cast a vote, will make a real difference. For those of us who planned to drive up on Thursday morning, needing a quorum and having that first official vote at 3 PM is much better than at 12 noon. They’ll either get to leave the house earlier on Thursday in order to absolutely be on time for the opening prayers, or pay for an additional hotel night and meals away from home.
Thanks a lot notfair and all. Because we had our State Convention training for our County Wednesday night, before this ruling came in, I’ll have to call all the delegates and alternates and let them know what it’s going to cost them not to miss that first official vote. And I’ll be sure and let our delegates know which candidate(s) and their supporters we have to thank for the extra time and money.
The way things stand, if we are not absolutely on time and in our seats at 12 noon, no harm done. If things change because of some judge’s ruling, delegates will need to be registered and organized before 12 noon.
Our delegates and alternates usually organize at our first SD Caucus, so that we know who is present and can seat the alternates to cover for any delegates who are not present. The first votes for our delegates are usually to elect the permanent member for our Senatorial District of the rules, platform, organization, and credentials committees - not the permanent chairman of the Convention.
If the vote for the permanent Convention chairman is taken at the first general session we will have to meet as a County delegation before hand, sometime between when the 9 AM Registration opens and the 12 Noon beginning of the First General Session. Where are we going to hold this meeting? It sure is easier in the rooms for the SD caucus than it will be to have to arrange for a room or just try to work it out in the big meeting hall, with the delegates and alternates spread out much more.
