Is Jeff Frederick being "Railroaded"?...

.


The State Central Committee will soon be voting to either support or oust the Chairman of the Virginia Republican Party at their next meeting on April 4th, 2009. There has been much text on the effort by many State Central members to remove the chairman in the mainstream media (MSM) as well as the local Virginia blogworld….


Now anyone who has kept up with the MSM and their reporting both locally and nationwide it is wise to take these “media reports” with a grain of salt, O.K. make that a shovel full of salt. There are also many opinions being presented on the blogs and after debating\discussing known facts about the issue it is surprising the lack of, or one sided aspect of many of the “facts” out there. This is even more evident if you talk to somebody about this issue and they have only received their info\facts from the mainstream media reports…


Many of the local blogs who were very “Grassroots” oriented and supported Jeff Frederick in the past have fallen silent on this issue. In fact there is no traffic or conversation at all on this issue and that is surprising for people who claim they look for a party built up from below instead of from the Top - Down…


Mason Conservative has a interesting post on this issue and his support in a manner that is familiar to many of us. “I'm one of those people who finds time to attend events, knock on doors (though not as much as others), has been in unit committees, and is an active YR. Hell, the last two years I've rented pick-up trucks for the 4th of July parade to adorn with candidate campaign sign, I try and do the small things to help my party and all its candidates win.” He then goes into how many from the “old-time establishment” are looking to return the party and leadership to the way it was.


From what I have read and facts obtained from conversations it appears that Frederick attempted to keep this issue in-house but those efforts were foiled once members of the State Central leaked or planted tidbits into the MSM or select blogs. A tactic often used by our Federal Govt. friends in D.C. and good reason why that piece of land is often associated with the word “Swamp”… Now many members of the State Central Committee, including my local representative who all will be voting on April 4th on this issue, have fallen silent on this issue. With that there are numerous citizens, Republican voters, activists, and local committee members looking for answers and facts regarding this issue and effort before the State Central members cast their votes on April 4th…


I have contacted my State Central representative Lynn Mitchell, 6th District State Central representative, several times but have not gotten a confirmed Yes or No as to if she will address our local Republican committee on this issue before her vote on April 4th. I urge everyone concerned that this effort to remove the chairman from his position may be a “Railroading” to contact their State Central representative at the State Central Committee Roster

Clarence Thomas ~Lexington, VA~

.
Washington Times reports on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas visit to Lexington Virginia...

"Our country and our principles are more important than our individual wants," Justice Thomas told close to 400 people who greeted him with a standing ovation Monday night at Washington and Lee University, a Shenandoah Valley liberal arts school.
He quoted former President John F. Kennedy's famous, "Ask not what your country can do for you" speech, but said Americans today are more likely to say, "Ask not what you can do for yourselves or your country but what your country can do for you."
