How Ron Paul Won Jackson County

Today was a vic­tory for Ron Paul sup­port­ers in Jackson County, Missouri. Further sum­mary is needed to really explain what hap­pened at the end of the cau­cus that resulted in the Beat Obama slate. I’ve spo­ken to the Chair, sev­eral del­e­gates, and many atten­dees in order to com­pile the most accu­rate report possible. The Credentials Cmte. reported 1012 peo­ple present, but the high­est vote — the one for the elec­tion of the chair — only had 970 votes. That’s our start­ing point of vot­ers present: 970. The day began with approx­i­mately 375–400 Ron Paul...

Caucus Fraud in Pulaski County, Missouri

Posted by on Mar 24, 2012 in Activist, Blog | 0 comments

The Caucus in Pulaski County, Missouri, on 17 March, unfor­tu­nately suf­fered from cor­rup­tion. As in so many places, Robert’s Rules of Order were ignored and vio­lated. The Parliamentarian did not enforce Order. Below is list of the major prob­lems reported. The Chair repeat­edly voted even though no ties happened. No rule was made or announced to declare how a slate would be won. Therefore, the default rule should have been, accord­ing to Robert’s Rules, a 51% sim­ple majority. Votes were cast by secret bal­lot. Not against the rules, but gen­er­ally tacky in a...

Jacob Turk for Congress, <span class=MO-5" title="Jacob Turk for Congress, MO-5" />

I attended and filmed a press con­fer­ence yes­ter­day morning. Jacob Turk announced that he is run­ning for Congress against the incum­bent Emanuel Cleaver for Missouri’s fifth dis­trict. Turk, a for­mer U.S. Marine, engi­neer, and small busi­ness owner, has spent the past few elec­tion cycles get­ting to know the crit­i­cal needs and strengths of the fifth dis­trict of Missouri while tran­si­tion from the pri­vate sec­tor into the polit­i­cal arena. Turk is focus­ing his cam­paign on issues of on fis­cal respon­si­bil­ity and con­gres­sional integrity. He is...
