May 11, 2008 - The Rules for Conventions can be found with a search for texas gop rules for conventions. Funny, the rules used to be a header on the website. Just noticed that now.

May 11, 2008 - Pretty Simple really. Nueces county Rep. leadership is used to making up the lists of 'delegates' to the county conv. out of thin air instead of getting people involved and actually electing people. This time someone objected, they are trying to cover it up and breaking more laws in the process - denied access to open records, falsified records, railroaded the convention, and the list goes on. Unfortunately we do not know yet if state is going to be any better!!!

May 12, 2008 - So, as we go :)

May 18, 2008 - VOTER ASKS TX SUPREME COURT TO ORDER NUECES COUNTY GOP CHAIRMAN TO RELEASE RECORDS CORPUS CHRISTI, TX. A Rep. delegate has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus with the TX Supreme Court asking that the court order County Chairman Mike Bertuzzi to release precinct convention records that disclose the identity of delegates properly elected. She claims that numerous unauthorized participants were seated and their votes included in the process of electing delegates to the state convention.

May 21, 2008 - This is astounding and its the first I've heard of it. What is happening with it, and has this made the news in Texas?

base1aransas Says:

May 22, 2008 - to crock703: Yes :) Texas is becoming aware of this, but not nearly as much as the rest of the world. But the awakening is happening. to xsleef: Only if people that care about justice stand up. The numbers are growing rapidly, but your future DOES depend on your own awakening to reality as well as those around you. STOP SUPPORTING THE BEAST THAT'S KILLING HUMANITY.

Jun 2, 2008 - Un-freaking-believable! I just returned from the Washington State Convention, and, although there were some contentious times due to some percieved shenanigans, it was nowhere near this. Wow... just, wow...

aggiepetvideo Says:

Jun 3, 2008 - The Writ of Mandamus has been GRANTED!!! Bertuzzi has until 5pm tomorrow to allow access to the Nueces County Precinct Minutes!

Jun 4, 2008 - As a Texas Republican, and delegate, I hope the Republican party respects the rules- if they just shut out those who don't agree with the party rulers, we may as well just eliminate the delegate system and let the elite TELL US what to believe...

Jun 11, 2008 - Two years ago this same tactic was used in Gillespie County, Texas by the County Chairman, Pauline Cusack. A number of us fought it, challenging what they did at the state convention. But, we did not hold a rump convention. The Credentials Committee ejected the County Chairman and the county Credentials Committee Chairman from the state convention, but refused to throw out the entire, illegal delegation, as required by law. The RPTX is thoroughly corrupt.

Jun 16, 2008 - I'm not a violent person, but that is just terrible and I would've started throwing some chairs.

Jun 19, 2008 - haha that's funny cuz i was there and the seats were bolted down. lolz. i have video of the actual convention but i can't figure out a way to make it on to youtube from "quicktime"

ScottyDog2 Says:

Jun 20, 2008 - The Texas Republican Party is just as Corrupt as the Federal Government. After the precinct caucus, Bertuzzi and others illegally added 151 delegates to the county convention. They did so because, without those illegal "delegates," the Ron Paul delegates would have outnumbered them.

aggiepetvideo Says:

Jun 23, 2008 - To everyone out there: Please understand that this is not an isolated incident. Apparently the Nueces County people were following the direction of the state party officials. If you would like to help stop this illegal behavior contact the Attorney General and the Department of Justice - DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION. Share the story - INSIST THE GUILTY BE DISCIPLINED!!!

SayMoreWords Says:

Jun 24, 2008 - Wow! This sounds alot like the Kentucky State Convention. Eerie!

GalacticAlignment Says:

Jun 26, 2008 - LOL...and apparently they had to add non-registered voters AND people who had voted in the Democratic primary to the delegate list in order to make sure they out voted us! How blatantly corrupt is this?!

Dec 29, 2008 - It seems to me that the Credential Chairman (to my understanding a person to take care and advise others of their honest earned wealth), made statements here that are not within the realm of 'doing the right thing' .... He was given an award for taking one for the team. I have nothing against him, but what does he and the leadership stand for? He's too young to take the sword like others that have gone before him. We all made mistakes at his age, but probably didn't carry others fortunes.

base1aransas Says:

Dec 29, 2008 - That is what is happening.
