We the People of Johnson County Missouri, Friday, April 4, 2024 š MO GOP
Hi Folks,
Okay, these are the opening words of MO GOP website:
WELCOME TO THE MISSOURI GOP
We believe Missourians deserve a state and national government with the vision to see the bright future ahead and the effective leadership to guide us there. We pledge to provide both the vision and the effective leadership Missourians deserve.
Really? If this is what we ādeserveā we have been very, VERY naughty boys and girls.
Remember the caucus many of us attended where we did 3 things:
Nominated the Presidential candidate we wanted to be presented at Congressional District (CD) and forward,
Voted on a slate of delegates to represent us, as well as a slate of alternates
Voted on amendments we wanted carried forward to CD?
Those are important things. How would you feel if the Congressional District 4 (CD4), our congressional district, sent us a letter and said, āSorry, weāre disqualifying ALL your delegates because of a clerical error. Too bad; so sad. Buh bye!āā¦?
In other words, you now have NO VOICE at the Congressional District, State Level or National level of the GOP.
That is what has happened to Vernon County.
If you want all the up-to-date sordid details of WHY this happened, tune in to: Support Vernon County - Act for Missouri (act4mo.org)
The name of this saga is called to vet - or NOT to vet; THAT is the question.
In one corner of the ring is Cyndia Haggard, Chair of Vernon County Republican Central Committee (RCC), who has been very proactive in setting up an objective vetting process for Republican candidates and moving forward with vetting candidates. Her purpose: getting actual Republicans in office instead of RINOs.
In the opposite corner of our ring is Nick Myers, President of MO GOP and his various helpers who carry voting power in the MO GOP. Overriding purpose: to retain and enhance personal power, using MO GOP as personal vehicle. As such, to Nick and friends vetting is aā¦umā¦nuisance. They like RINOs who share the wealth.
The way I define RINO may not be like others, so Iāll explain. I see a RINO as someone who has gotten into Republican politics to gain PERSONAL profit financially, socially, and through political power.
Politics has, for many, devolved into attainment of PERSONAL POWER.
Right. So now Iāve told you what you already know.
Hereās how the story unfoldsā¦more or less. For the ACTUAL SPECIFICS, tune in toā¦rememberā¦? (Click the pink link.)
Round 1:
The fight started on Good Friday (weird, huh?) when Cyndia received a Certified Letter from Nick, or Carla Young - the Chair of CD4 - Iām not sure which, saying her āā¦caucus delegates were dismissed, because of a clerical error.ā He was aided in this round by Carla Young, Chair of the CD4 and her mighty Certification Committee consisting of:
David Kelsay from Henry County ā Chair
Brandon Phelps from Johnson County
Abe Kropf from Pettis County
Susan Steiner from Benton County
Round 2:
Cindia responded with a right hook, saying their reasoning was ridiculous! How on Godās green earth could the MO GOP, who is SUPPOSED to help Missouri Republicans āā¦see the bright future ahead and (give) the effective leadership to guide us there,ā silence Vernon Countyās voice by removing their delegates due to a clerical error??? Which actually ALREADY had been self-corrected and reported to MO GOP by Cyndia herself??
Nickās false teeth flew across the ring.
Round 3:
After regaining some composure, collecting his teeth, and circling his helpers, one of whom included Carla Young the CD4 Chair, he swaggered back out to the center of the ring, flailing intrepidly. āI am the mighty President of the MO GOP!!! I can do as I please, and if I want to PUNISH you for trying to VET RINO candidates, I can!!!! And my helpers will HELP ME!!! HELP ME, I say, NOT the Missouri Republicans, as they should just be grateful I exist!ā
Round 4:
Cyndia returns volley soundly disqualifying each of his complaints with facts. One remarkable fact is that ALL Caucus Committee Chairs/RCCs who had clerical errors, had received emails from MO GOP telling them what their error was and requesting a correctionā¦.EXCEPTā¦no email for Cyndia & Vernon County!!! Vernon county DID NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL ASKING FOR ANY CORRECTIONS. And they were the ONLY GROUP with alleged errors receiving no email. A bit dodgy, eh??
They were simply CANCELLED. BY THEIR OWN PARTY.
At this point Nickās pants hit the ground. Basically, he pooped the bed.
Round 5:
Nick must regain ground, but HOW??? Ahā¦he comes up with a haymaker! Yanking up his britches, he tells Carla Young to invite Cyndia and all her caucus delegates to the CD4 meeting in Sedalia. At said meeting a VOTE will be taken on whether to reinstate Vernon Countyā¦.or not.
But Nick stacks the deck. He has a brick in his boxing glove. He and Carla Young KNOW they have enough votes to vote DOWN accepting Vernon County delegates!!! Heād invite them to come, let them travel to Sedalia, only to be mortified when the entire party was voted OUT!
It wouldnāt be Nickiās fault! It wouldnāt be Carlaās fault!! It wouldnāt even be the fault of the CD4 Certification Committee as listed:
David Kelsay from Henry County ā Chair
Brandon Phelps from Johnson County
Abe Kropf from Pettis County
Susan Steiner from Benton County!!
NOā¦indeed it would simply be the fault of Vernon Countyās cohorts - all of whom had:
NOT had their delegate slate cancelled AT ALL despite clerical errors!
BEEN INCLUDED in an email to correct ANY clerical errors they may have made.
Yes, indeed, Nicki thinks he has a TKO!!!! His glee is palpable!!!!
BUT, TO MIX MY SPORTS METAPHORS HEREā¦THAT OLā BALL KEEPS RIGHT ON BOUNCING.
The story isnāt over my friends! So stay tuned toā¦you guessed it Support Vernon County - Act for Missouri (act4mo.org)
CLICK ON THE PINK LINK NOW, AND YOU CAN ELECTRONICALLY SIGN A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE VERNON COUNTY DELEGATES.
AGAIN, how can one possibly JUSTIFY removing the delegates/votes/VOICE of an entire COUNTY????
Did I mention, AN ENTIRE COUNTY????
ACCOMPLISHED BY THE LEADER YOU YOUR OWN PARTY???!?!?!?
This could have been Johnson County, you know. If Sarah Wiley, our Caucus Secretary, had not repeatedly contacted the MO GOP office to be SURE all our documents had arrived at the right time, in the right place, to the right peopleā¦.THIS COULD HAVE BEEN US.
I know youāll want to click on the link and sign the letter, so Iāll put it here again.
Support Vernon County - Act for Missouri (act4mo.org) Check back with the link from time to time for updates.
FOLKS, OUR OWN PARTY HAS BEEN TAINTED. If we donāt require vetting for our MO GOP personnel AND our legislatorsā¦.all the way down to our county office holdersā¦.we soon will have no party.
What action can YOU take? Let me know what youād like to do, and Iāll try to point youā¦or a group of us, in the right direction.
IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US TO TURN THE WORLD BACK TO GOD.
2 Chron 7:14 - If my people, who are called by name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways (some of those wicked ways may be just sitting by hoping it will get better),
THEN -
ā¦will I HEAR from Heaven, forgive their sins, and HEAL THEIR LAND.ā
Letās get busy!!!! START by asking God what HE wants of you.
God wants the BEST FOR US. Check in with Him.
