Yue was interviewed earlier today on the Lars Larson Show. He understands tyranny when he sees it.

http://www.larslarson.com/ You can hear that interview here: http://www.larslarson.com/listen-rnc-member-solomon-yue-fighting-transparency-republican-convention/

He is being attacked by the party elite, including Karl Rove today on FoxNews. He must be on target. Please let him know you appreciate him standing up for the rank and file GOP voter. http://www.oregonrepublicanparty.org/nationalcommitteeman https://twitter.com/solomonyue

"In his email, Yue accused the party’s leaders of trying to “discredit me” with reporters and RNC counsel John Ryder of privately whipping against his proposal and not included it on the panel’s pre-submitted agenda. At one point, he outlines a conversation he had with Priebus last week in which he says the chairman repeatedly –and unsuccessfully – tried to pressure him to withdraw his proposal.

"This has caused me great alarm. There was a concerted effort to kill my proposal by manipulating the power of the Counsel's office. If this can happen to me, what about the average delegate at our convention?” Yue wrote.

Yue, who noted in his missive that he has served on the RNC for 16 years, said he had won his reelection this year by campaigning to open up the convention’s proceedings through Robert’s Rules of Order.

The chairman of the Rules Committee, Bruce Ash of Arizona, sent a note to rules panelists accusing the party of “a major breach of trust” in their handling of Yue’s proposal.

Yue cited Ash in his email Monday: "When I complained to Chairman Ash, all my concerns got confirmed. I told Mr. Ash that when an institutional power, including Counsel's office, unfairly and systematically is used to crush a member's dissenting voice, we have institutional tyranny.”"

Hannity is speaking about this now.

Paul Ryan will be in charge at a convention.

Might as well have Satan in charge of the convention.

Paul Ryan is a TRAITOR to the USA.

Something I seldom do is make a prediction, but I still believe Ryan is the establishment candidate...he and Marco Rubio. Those are the BIG TWO picked for these jobs by powerful GOP LOBBYISTS....CESAR CONDA and GROVER NORQUIST.

It’s ALL about more immigration,amnesty, cheap imported labor more Muslim immigration and lop sided trade deals like TPP.

And Donald Trump is the ONLY candidate holding the line on those issues. THE ONLY ONE.

A vote for Ted Cruz is a vote for business as usual.

Yue is an interesting immigrant story. He seems to ‘get it’!

In 2009, he wanted to make a rule that the RNC would have NO part of adding to the debt and reject the bail outs.

Washington Times ^ | Ralph Zallow

“Jim Bopp is the author of the no-bailout resolution because he wants to articulate our core principles now, not every four years when we have a presidential election,” said Mr. Yue, an Oregon member of the Committee. “This is based on the thinking that articulating political philosophy is equally important as applying it consistently.”

“Failing to do so, we have today’s identity crisis, which resulted in our losses in 2006 and 2008,” Mr. Yue said. “The bailout is a good example ... In my view, if we are not going to address this, we will see more losses in 2010.”

A member of the Republican National Committee rules panel accused his own party leadership of “institutional tyranny” on Monday

Obviously this guy is just some dumb StormTrumper who doesn't understand the rules.

I agree. I don’t know if the miserable SOB’s will succeed. I doubt it, but they will TRY.

My comment doesn't support either side in this war ... just a comment:

"I believe in democracy and majority rule of the delegates"

That is kind a priceless quote.

Democracy for me, but not for thee, dear individual voter.

More truth comes out in 2016. The whole darn thing is a great big giant dirty rotten lie. Burn the GOP down, nothing grand about it.

Skip to comments.Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Revealing Our Elections are Rigged: “The Illusions of Choice”
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 4-17-2016 | sundance

Posted on 04/17/2016 3:05:41 PM PDT by smoothsailing

2016 elections(Nick Bernabe via ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people.

Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic.

The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin.

Wait, what?

How does one lose by winning 56 percent of the votes? This happens when the political process is, according to the New York Post, “rigged” by superdelegates. The Post summed up this “strange” phenomenon:

“[U]nder the Democratic Party’s oddball delegate system, Sanders’ winning streak — he has won seven out of the past eight contests — counts for little.

“In fact, despite his win, he splits Wyoming’s 14 pledged delegates 7 to 7 under the caucus calculus.

“Clinton, meanwhile, also gets the state’s four superdelegates — who had already pledged their allegiance to her in January. So despite ‘losing,’ she triumphs 11-7 in the delegate tally”. (link)

Even media pundits on MSNBC openly called the process rigged:...

I read an article today where Preibus was saying that he wants to bypass all the candidates and install Colin Powell as President and Jon Huntsman Jr. from Utah as V.P.

Doesn’t that just sound about right coming from the RNC???

After this is over, I hope everyone shows up in mass numbers to these “grass roots” party meetings, and outnumbers the party insiders, and votes their asses out.

The Rashneeshees did it in Oregon, taking over an entire town, by moving in enough people to out-vote the locals. They changed the name of the town, changed the laws of the town.... and when they thought they were going to lose an election, the poisoned virtually the entire town (over 700 people).
