I am very sorry for my later reply to you. I had to do super. My cats were running low on their favorite foods. They eat better than I do. I have an Obama situation in my house. I am the cook, waitress, housecleaner, and chauffer when they are not feeling well and need to go to the vets. When they don’t like all these freebees, I am expected to return their food to the kitchen and get them something else. No tips. No pay. No nothing. Everything is free (at my expense) to include their medical care.
Now, where were we.
“Isn’t it odd how difficult it is to uncover the RNC rules?”
That is what is so disquieting. No transparency here, which means something crooked is going on.
“But its not the RNC’s problem really. It reflects those who are active within the establishment. More conservative Republicans have to get into the woodwork in order to prevent another Steele (or get rid of this one).”
Yes. Somebody who is close to the inner workings of this, needs to inform us so we can take what ever action needs to be taken to rectify the situation.
Something is very wrong.
Thank you for your comments, and again, sorry for my late reply.
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEERULE NO. 1
Organization of the Republican National Committee
(a) The Republican National Committee shall have the general management of the Republican Party, based upon the rules adopted by the Republican National Convention. The members of the Republican National Committee shall consist of one (1) national committeeman and one (1) national committeewoman from, and the chairman of the state Republican Party of, each state.
(b) For the purposes of this rule and all other rules, “state” or “states” shall be taken to include American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, except in Rule No. 13 and unless the context in which the word “state” or “states” is used clearly makes such inclusion inappropriate.RULE NO. 2
Method of Election for National Committeeman and National Committeewoman
(a) Where the rules adopted by a state Republican Party provide a method of election of the national committeeman and the national committeewoman, they shall be elected pursuant to such method.
(b) Where the rules adopted by a state Republican Party do not provide a method of election of the national committeeman and the national committeewoman, and where state laws do provide such a method of election, they shall be elected pursuant to such method provided by state laws.
(c) Where neither the rules adopted by a state Republican Party nor state laws provide a method of election of the national committeeman and the national committeewoman, the national convention delegation from such state shall elect them.
Called up a member of my Republican Town Committee. Hal is 80 and has been involved with the party in our town since 1964. He didn't know how Connecticut selects its RNC committeeman and committeewoman.
The Republican National Committee does have a forum. Think I'll register and ask there. Or email.
What do you think about a thread on this subject? There are so many replies critical of the RNC. While these comments are usually dead on target, they don't achieve much. We need to know how to fix the situation and the first step is discovering how, in each of us states, to elect people to the RNC who reflect the views of the grass roots.
