I did exactly what I promised
------ When I ran for a position on the Central Committee for the Violet A precinct I promised that I would fight for ethics and integrity of party members. I was one of 117 precinct representatives in the Wednesday night meeting. At that meeting I did exactly what I promised, and I will continue to do exactly what I promised.
Below are but part of my quotes to the reporter if the Lancaster Eagle Gazette the day after the meeting. I suggest you reach me and I'll provide the minutes of the Central Committee meeting so that you can see exactly how many times I spoke on the issues of the railroading of this County's party, how many times the Chair over ruled my points and gaveled others out of order that were fighting for this party's future.
My most major point of the evening is that the Newly ''elected'' Party Chair is in violation of the By-Laws, which is not in this article and is in the minutes.
excerpt from the 6/7/02 Lancaster Eagle Gazette -
For Bob Harding, a recently elected Republican Central Committeeman from Violet Township precinct A, the meeting was a joke.
''It was a travesty to all the newly elected precinct Central Committee members,'' Harding said. ''(The new leadership) made changes in the bylaws to help themselves. People were being ruled out of order on the floor when they tried to find out something.''
Harding pointed to rule changes made to the Executive Committee on Wednesday night -- which included reducing the number of public officials serving on the committee from five to three, and adding two more members to the people elected to the committee who are not residents of Lancaster.
Harding also pointed to the elimination of membership of a newly formed Republican club in the northern end of the county from being recognized.
Under the old bylaws, a club had to file with the County Executive Committee within six months of forming with a list of 10 members and the names of their officers. Under the newly adopted bylaws, each club has a probationary period of one year before they can have a voting status on the Executive Committee and have to provide a list of all the names of the club members.
''I think this party used to stand for ethics and ethical conduct of its elected officials,'' Harding said. ''I think this is a large step backward.''
