Tax Revolt is a good idea. I’ve said before on these threads we need to pick a day and everyone go to there HR office and change their tax exemptions to some ridiculous number, like 10. It’s the only way those of us with automatic withholding to not pay.
So you say you want a revolution?
Sacramento Republican Assembly Announces
Unprecedented Vote By The Sacramento County Republican Party
Sacramento, CA - June 14, 2007 - In an unprecendented move Thursday night, a majority of the members of the Sacramento County Republican Party (SCRP) Central Committee voted to support a resolution to implore the United States Congress and President George W. Bush to pardon Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonzo Compean, and County Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez. The resolution also made known Congressman Duncan Hunter’s pending legislation, H.R. 563 -Congressional Pardon for Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean Act.
The final vote did not go without contention by the minority, including Chairman Craig MacGlashan. 4th Vice Chair Carl Burton, Treasurer Tom Scott, and Congressman Daniel E. Lungren, 3rd Congression District - CA.
Congressman Lungren’s staff, Peter Tateishi and Bob Door urged the SCRP Central Committee members to vote against the resolution stating Congressman Lungren’s position against the county party’s involvement in legislative matters. However, the SCRP By-Laws, ARTICLE II: PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES, Section 2.01 (C) specifically state:
ARTICLE II: PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
SEC. 2.01: The Central Committee shall do everything it considers necessary and
desirable to:
C. Make known the official position, platforms, and policies of the Republican Party
upon county, state and national issues
Before a final vote was tallied, an unsuccessful motion was made by Congressman Lungren’s representative Peter Tateishi to table the resolution until the August SCRP Central Committee meeting. But conservative members of the SCRP, all too familar with the tactics of those members opposed to the conservative contingency, know that in August another motion would be made to table the resolution indefinitely. Therefore, the conservatives forced the hand of the general body to show support for Ramos, Compean and Hernandez for wrongful prosecution by Texas’ United States Attorney, Johnny Sutton.
The Sacramento Republican Assembly thanks those members who voted in support of the resolution, finding it appropriate to show strong support our law enforcement officers who daily put their lives on the line to protect the citizens of the United States of America against unlawful invasion, and exhonorate Ramos, Compean and Hernandez.
May God Continue to Bless the United States of America!
