subject: Why people should dump the RNC

Hello everybody.

These thoughts are not written by me, but they are written by Dave Nalle
and I agree with them.

For those having trouble following the controversy over rules changes at
the RNC, here they are in a nutshell:

There are basically three proposed changes.

First, that the delegates will be bound to vote in proportion to the
popular vote regardless of how things go in our county and state
conventions.

Second, that the presumed nominee or his agents will be able to remove or
replace delegates from state conventions at will.

Third, that the members of the RNC may at any time between conventions
change any of the party rules by a 3/4 vote.

It appears that most members of the Texas delegation are now opposing these changes.

I signed on to the GOP to be part of a real political party, not just some
pavlovian Punchinello who parades around in a pantomime pageant and claps
when they ring a bell.
