Rick Beltram Announces Spartanburg Makeup

PRESS RELEASE

SPARTANBURG- The Spartanburg County Republican Party will hold a make-up meeting for the Precinct Re-organization process on Monday March 23rd at 7PM.

The location will be at the Country Hearth Inn in Spartanburg.

Due to the difficult weather on Monday March 2nd, it is expected that many of the Precincts that have not met will organize or re-organize on Monday.  The GOP has engaged, Todd Kincannon, an attorney from Columbia to act as Parliamentarian and Mediator.

Delegates will be elected to the County Convention which will be on Tuesday April 7th at 7PM at the Carolina Country Club (Holly Hall).

For more information, please call GOP HQ at 542-1992.

I Finally Agree with President Obama

I never imagined the day coming so soon.  That is the day that I would finally agree with President Barack Obama.

Today, the President unveiled his NCAA Tourney bracket, and lo and behold, he chose the Tyler Hansbrough led Tar Heels to win it all.

That is about the only area we agree though because I am hoping to see 3 ACC teams in the final 4.  Here are our brackets.

Spartanburg GOP Precinct Reorg Makeup Meeting

If you were a law abiding citizen on March 2nd and weathered the nasty weather to organize your precinct, prepare to do it again on March 23rd.  That’s right, we have some sources that said packets are being thrown out on technicalities.  We have contacted Rick Beltram and he stated that some individuals had been in question because they were not registered voters, but that entire packets had not been “thrown out”.

By SCGOP Party Rules, the county party is allowed to hold make up meetings for those precincts which were unable to organize. This can be found in the under Rule 4.1.b:

The county chairman shall also set a date no later than five days prior to the county convention for precinct clubs to meet, that have failed to organize or re-organize or clubs that need to conduct further business. The meeting for all precincts shall be held in one central location in the county.

So, if you want a say in the direction of the Republican Party, want a say in its leadership, this is one of two (2) meetings that you need to attend.

Those individuals researching and counting numbers may base their decisions to take on the embattled 10 year county chairman if you are willing to sacrifice a few hours and have your opinion heard by party leadership or by even becoming party leadership.  It is in your hands.

As for my candidacy, I have been approached by several individuals before and after the infamous audio release.  I will be making a decision in the next few weeks.

The makeup meeting is currently scheduled to be conducted at the Country Hearth Inn at the I-85/I-26 intersections starting at 7pm on March 23, 2009.

Some Changes at The Conservativist

Over the past few days, we have been making some subtle changes. Hopefully you have not noticed the changes and will continue to enjoy the open comment policy at The Conservativist.

If you have had trouble making comments (due to these subtle changes), please let us know using the new Contact Us form.

We have also started to broaden some of our topics outside of politics (mainly sports related) and provide you with information on issues that matter to us. We all like to hold our representatives accountable and what better way to talk about the bills and tell you who is on board and who isn’t.

Finally, we have seen in our traffic and had fellow readers tell us, “your website is hard to spell.”

So, we invested some well earned money and bought a few more domain names.  Our hopes is that one of these names will be easier for our readers to remember and share with their friends when you find an interesting article.  Either way though, you will still land at TheConservativist.com.
