Anti-America neocon forces in Arizona who supported John McCain in his lackluster bid for the presidency violate Roberts Rules of Orders to close a meeting they were losing. On November 17th, Chairman Bob Burgess illegally closes the Legislative District 4 of the Arizona Republicans meeting to elect new leadership when the current leadership realized they would be voted out. Burgess used local police acting as Sergent of Arms to clear the room not only violating parliamentary procedure but the right of all free Americans. You can contact Mr. Burgess at 632-214-3725 or rburges_843msn.com. 1. FACT: The organizational meeting for LD-4 was held on Monday, November 17, 2008. 2. FACT: LD-4 Chairman Burges hired a Certified Parliamentarian for $100 per hour to assist in any procedural ruling that might come up during the meeting. 3. FACT: There were 151 votes represented at that meeting. 73 in person, 76 by ‘accepted’ proxy and there were 7 proxies in question at the time of the credentials report. 4. FACT: Prior to the credentials report, a question was raised by a PC, stating that she had brought two notarized proxies with her to the meeting from elected PC’s who knew they would be out of state on the date of the Nov 17 meeting. They filled out our usual proxy, and inserted the proper meeting date, had it notarized and gave it to the PC to carry for them. Because the location of the meeting had changed after the date the proxy was given, the location was wrong. They denied her proxies on the basis of the wrong location. 5. FACT: When the credentials report was given — after committee deliberation over those proxies, they upheld their original ruling, thus denying the proxies based on ’special rules’ for the meeting that had yet to even be voted on — they were not in force. 6. FACT: When the motion for a vote on the credentials report was proffered, confusion reigned, as there was little direction or control by the chairman. After some confusion, the chairman repeated the motion, stating that we would be voting on the “RULES”…..then credentials, and some debate followed. 7. FACT: A vote was held, and the motion (which motion??) was defeated handily. 8. FACT: More confusion, as it was announced that the motion to pass the rules failed. (At least the vote outcome was correct) 9. FACT: After more confusion, it was determined that the actual vote had been on the motion to accept the credentials report. (Even the Parliamentarian misstated the motion after the vote, and was corrected.) He then asked that since we had voted down the credentials report (many voters, myself included, thought we were voting on the rules), what did we want to do? Confusion, but one Elected PC moved that we vote again as there had been so much confusion over what we were voting for. The chair failed to recognize her motion. 10. FACT: The Chairman announced that the meeting was adjourned. How? and Why? At that point, most in the room said “NO!”, but to no avail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTZ0QmcHqpo |
