I think it might be wise to pick your battles. I also know that the members spoken about know how to count! Some should relax they just sound like poor sports.

The Ron Paul supporters have been told who to support? The last time I checked, the people were allowed, or at least they are supposed to be allowed, the freedom of choice. Are you making a formal statement declaring that The Republican party doesn't actually allow it's members to have their own opinions?

If it was truly a waste of an hour, let us all hope that you do the right thing and stay home for the next meeting, as some of us do not view politics and fixing the state of our nation as much as we can on a local level, a waste of time.

Could you be any more vague? As far as I am concerned, there is not much that can be changed after one meeting.

Kelly, so you think you're going to save your nation or your county at a Central Committee meeting? Have you talked to the people in your community other than Ron Paul supporters? That's where you find out where the issues are. Have you attended a County Counsel meeting - ever? Were you at the meeting Tuesday? Talk is cheap, Kelly, action takes much more work.

I am stating a fact that Ron Paul supporters screamed and took videos and pictures of the Central Committee meetings for months after the caucus. They disrupted numerous meetings after the caucus yelling out "point of order" in the middle of the meeting, calling Janet Engelbach out during the meeting, they even threatened Sunshine requests (which you can't request with a Central Communittee). They were outraged at how Janet Engelbach ran the caucus as an interim Chair at the beginning and they were going to get her out no matter what. Then, Tuesday night comes along and 5 new committee members are Ron Paul people. They went along with the nomination of Janet Engelbach as the Chair, they did not nominate anyone else, why? Then, there was a roll call vote - not one voted against her. Where was the outrage? Where was that strong indignation? What happened? As I said before, it is easier to be rude, obnoxious, loud and make attempts at shoving your opinions down other's throats when you have your friends around you. It's not so easy when you have to be an adult in a room full of other adults.

Anthony, how much clearer would you like me to be? Instead of attacking me, why don't you take that extra energy, go out today and go door to door (like I have) and talk to the people in your community about their problems, their issues? Stop yapping all over the internet and get involved. You were at the Republican Club Monday night and actually spoke up. Good! But as you can see our leadership works hard to silence those that do not agree with them. Next time, run for a Central Committee position, who knows maybe you can become the next Chair.

RE Ford,
Pick my battles? I have, it's the battles for my community, for my county, for the country.

CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of this office that the St. Louis Republican Central Committee is a "public governmental body" as defined in Section 610.010(2), RSMo Supp. 1975, and is therefore subject to the open meeting requirement of that law."

Surely you can read.

I also couldn't help but notice how many recommendations this page doesn't have.... In addition, that seems to be a trend with your other articles.... It would appear that the people don't rally behind you. I wonder why that is? ...

Kelly,
I also had a previous engagement and my daughter was waiting an hour for me in my vehicle in the parking lot so I did stay as long as I could, again, where were you? I could care less about the Central Committee position. I was doing the same thing as what I am doing now, supporting candidates. I don't need a Central Committee position to do that. Have you supported any candidates? I haven't seen you anywhere when going door to door. As stated previously, I haven't seen you at County Counsel meetings or Republican Club meetings, or Central Committee meetings. It's easy to be ignorant to other people from your computer, isn't it Kelly?

You have still dodged my original question. You stated in your article that " Ron Paul supporters have been told and will be expected to support all the Republican candidates that are picked by the voters to represent the Republican party and that excludes Ron Paul." One might infer that you saying the Republican party does not allow its members to have their own opinion, but rather they are to follow orders... That definitely sounds highly unconstitutional! I would love to hear your thoughts on that if you are capable of delivering them in a manner fitting of an adult.

CONCLUSION!
I walked door to door to campaign for other candidates. That's where you are clueless! It's not about you on the Central Committee, it's about the candidates, I can tell you are not involved nor do you care other than to yap! In answer to your misguided bull about support from other people on my blogs, as I said before I am strong enough in my convictions that I don't need my little friends to come to my rescue like YOU. I have no problem defending myself and I don't need to hold hands to write, evidently you do.

You probably wouldn't see me, considering we live in two different communities, so that statement was irrelevant. You're so laughable. You are calling me ignorant because I'm speaking on a computer when you are doing the same thing! You left your daughter in your vehicle for an hour? I have heard of people getting in trouble for doing that to their dogs, and you did that to your own child? Oh my! Where are your priorities, exactly? I do support Candidates. I support Dr. Ron Paul. I support Paul Curtmann. I support Josh Brunner. I support Mark Paul. I support Nicole Bradley. I could go on for some time about the people I endorse. Since we are on the topic of endorsing candidates, how can you, as a woman, endorse a man who says that 'legitimate rape' doesn't produce pregnancies because the woman's body can block the unwanted fertilization? I have attended meetings, and your group cordially kicks us out. Perhaps if we'd been permitted to stay, and not met with such hostility, we would have met in person by now.

The republicans in jefferson county have spoken and no longer want Linda Van de Riet. That's how it works, you know, a republic.

So, you're yapping from far away! So you don't want to come face to face with me - I can understand that you need to hide behind your computer screen. YOU are the one that is laughable! You don't have the guts to stand up other than to take pot shots at people that do the real work in the community. I've known many people like you. They open their mouths and spout words that have no substance much less credibility. I'll be around anytime you get some nerve to find out what a real concerned citizen looks like otherwise, you are a mouth and nothing more.

I appreciate you coming to the meeting and observing. I think that what happened at the meeting Tuesday only proved the point of "Ron Paul" people. Those of us elected have respect for the rule of law, elected positions, valid bodies of government, and The Constitution. We knew going in that 5 seats out of 24 was not going to be a majority. Maybe you expected us to delay the meeting through parliamentary procedure, maybe you expected us to somehow take the rolls out of the room, maybe you expected us to be sure the meeting lasted so long that enough people would leave so we could then get our way. If that is what you were expecting you were looking to the wrong people.
I saw you there and was hoping to talk to you. I was also hoping that you would stay and congratulate Nicole Bradley on her victory and give her your best wishes. I won my election against Mr. Vermette and I have the most respect for him after he congratulated me and met with me to give me support and guidance. I ran on the message of trying to bring new blood to the party, to give regular people a voice in the party, and to encourage liberty minded people to get involved in their government. I did not run as a grudge against the central committee or to be a naysayer against the good that the committee can or has done. I want this to be a process by which new people get involved and over time give the party a new direction, I wish you would work with us to improve the party.

Well said Mark. Happy to have such a stable person involved in our local government who is excited about taking the republican party in a more small government freedom loving direction.

Really? I'm writing to you now. I post a blog and you yap, there is no blocking. I just told you where I am and evidentally, you know because you know I left early from the meeting Tuesday. Where is that hiding? Why would I call you and waste my time when I can settle everything here and my FB page is for my friends.

Mark Paul,
I do respect you, you worked hard for the seat you were elected to. Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not interested. I am not a Ron Paul supporter and have had entirely too many "bad" experiences with Libertarians.

I didn't take the rolls out of the room, I think you need to talk to Derrick Good, he was there on Tuesday night, why didn't you express your displeasure with him? I guess it's easier to throw barbs at me than to say it to his face.

Good luck, you'll need it!

To the rest of you,
Linda subscribes to something called circular logic. No matter what you say, it will be misconstrued by her and spit back at everyone in a vile manner. Please beware, you never know which one of her many disordered personalities you are debating. She calls herself "we" quite often, I find it disturbing!

It is sad, Doris, to watch you get involved in other people's lives because you lack one of your own. You sit at the end of people's driveways and outside their houses wishing you had what they have - a life. You need to get one of your own. On top of that, you are another case of a loser that can't get a real job, you have to look to the taxpayers to support you - that is what is disturbing. You know what they say, the political offices are filled with losers, criminals and frauds - you'll fit right in!

Linda, what is sad is your delusional state! I do not sit anywhere wishing anything, I don't have a lot of time to sit and I don't have to get anything. I don't have to look to the taxpayers to support me. I have my own business and I work very diligently for the people I represent. Who are they? The little voices in your head? You worked for the county and did not do the job you were paid for, so I guess that makes you one of the losers of which you speak. Just because you couldn't make the grade you are running around criticizing everybody else. Do you actually think people agree with you? So this real job you have now, it allows you to post at all hours of the day? Hmmm...interesting.

Best of luck in your run for Mayor Doris Borgelt

Thank you, RE Ford :)

Yes, best of luck in your run for Gestapoism in Arnold only we all know you won't win it because too many people know how you sit at the end of driveways and monitor other people's lives and many people respect and like Ron Counts who is a mature adult that does not have time to go around spying on others.

Run along, Linda! Haven't you got a couch to ride? I'm sure your shrink has made time for you :)

You know, Linda, I have been thinking about your remark and after careful consideration will make this statement. I have family members who were imprisoned in concentration camps in Germany one which luckily escaped in a coal car and I find your reference to Gestapoism very offensive. You are one very ill individual and I hope you get the help you need.
