Dealing with a Local Political Organization

A recent experience with an up and coming GOP organization has prompted me to think of what is and what is not appropriate for the organization.
 First: a word of caution, be sure all elected agreement of the constitution, meeting places, advertising, use of social media, how often the group should meet, and etc.
1.      For example: meeting places should be appropriate at local community buildings such as courthouses, fairgrounds, library, and etc. Not appropriate places include bars, pubs, taverns, etc. Also keep in mind restaurants are not always a good place for meetings.
2.      Another example is how often the organization should meet. For an up and coming organization there should be a meeting once a month. For an established organization meetings every other month. An established organization may have social gathering every third month or as the membership decides.
 Second: a word of caution. Be sure all elected officers are there to do their jobs as stated in the constitution of the organization. This means they understand and support the constitution that the group voted on.
1.      For example: this ensures that you don’t have an officer wanting to do the other officers jobs. Also ensures that anyone in the group can speak up if they are uncomfortable.
2.      My experience with the up and coming political organization is that we had one officer that was elected as Vice Chairman and nominated the Chairman who was flattered but was not invested in their job. So the Vice Chairman took over the Chairman’s job. Then we heard the Chairman was leaving so the Vice Chairman thought automatically they get the job but I put a challenge ahead and nominated someone who did not win but at least they got challenged. When our newly elected Chairperson began holding our meeting in a bar I protested due to my religious beliefs and was pressured out of the group. The group has stalemated in the last five months with only on meeting being held.        

In conclusion, if you follow these words of caution fo an up and coming political organization or an established political organization, you will avoid the common downfalls that destroy an organization.

Media Distraction: Cecil the lion versus Planned Parenthood scandal

The media is distracting the people of this nation from the Planned Parenthood scandal to the recent killing of Cecil the lion by a U.S. dentist. Who cares, this is a local issue, Zimbabwe has asked for extradition of the dentist. So instead of focusing on the local issue we should focus on the national issue.                                                                                                                   The national issue is Planned Parenthood killing babies in late term abortions and then selling parts of the babies illegally for research. As time goes by more and more videos of what is going on in Planned Parenthood are being released to make the nation aware. Also, as this happens th...

My Opinion on the Supreme Court Ruling of Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage

If you are looking for a post in favor of the Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage, look elsewhere. Throughout, history the LGBT movement has always told us what their next move is. The LGBT movement will ask for legalization and acceptance of one aspect of  their lives always saying they won’t ask for more.  Once they receive what they ask for, then they ask for more.  -For example: in the 1980’s legalize public gay-sex but we will not ask to legalize same-sex civil unions. Then, after some years later it was, legalize civil unions but we will not ask for same-sex marriage.  Now it is legalizing same-sex marriage, but we will not sue churches who will not perform same-sex marriage. When, already we have examples of people suing Christian churches and Christian business who do not believe in same-sex marriages.   -This is why I stand by my faith statement:     - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Ø   “The Church of...

Donald Trump's Run for President

Donald Trump's run for President of the United States has been in the works for quite a while. I could see it coming since 2011, when I attended CPAC (Conservative Politiical Action Conference), he was the special guest speaker, and even back then he knew how to hold and engage an audience. I don't remember much of the speech but he did say at one point if the timing is right he would run for President. So now four years later the cards have fallen into place and the timing is right.         His run is ground-breaking because he is funding his own campaign so he can focus on the issues that he feels is really important. One issue that he feels is important is illegal immigration. Trump points out that the other countries are not send the cream of the crop of their society, but the criminals element. His announcement mostly focused on illegal immigrates being from Mexico but the same applies to illegal immigrants from other countries. He believes what he said is tr...
