Denver Delegate Meeting

Yesterday we had another Denver Delegate Meeting, which is functioning more as a Congressional District 1 meeting.

One main issue was the vote count in Denver, headed by Chairperson Mary Smith. The other night a few of our friends nearly got arrested at the University Club in Denver. They had been invited there by the GOP and the Teller Committee to help count and then tally the votes from the County Delegates for the CD and State Delegates. (In Adams, we had no vote since there wasn't enough people who wanted to be delegates -- we were all automatically ratified at County.)

[CORRECTION: Mary Smith said if they do not leave the University Club they would be "removed". It was an attorney who works with the GOP who threatened a Precinct Committee Person and Delegate with arrest at the Denver County Assembly regarding protocols of the vote counting process.]

Eventually they let them in after their Executive Committee Meeting. Mary said there will be no tallying of the votes counted in the previous days and sent them home. She said she made some executive decision to have someone else tally the votes.

It looks like someone may have committed a crime by manipulating the CD votes, as people were winning State Delegate but not CD (not even CD alternate) -- even though they had lots of votes as witnessed by our people and the voting slates were the same.

The other big issue of the day was Denver District Captain Fred Wulff saying the resolutions passed at the County Assemblies will NOT be passed on at the CD or State Conventions. He said this at a Denver GOP breakfast. The main resolution passed was against NAFTA, the SPP and the North American Union (which has passed in several other States). I don't think this is legal or ethical, even though the GOP can change their rules in real-time and do essentially anything they want.

The Jeffersonian Republican movement is powerful and we will not allow this to happen. We follow the rules and we expect the GOP leadership to do the same.
