The Advisory Committee Advises

The Advisory meeting yesterday went well. It went well for the people that wanted a certain outcome. These people were the people that were all crowded down near the end of the table, where David Israel sat. Israel sat there looking like a smiling Buddha. The reason for the smile was obvious. With a number of excuses the committee was going to turn down the latest effort to get Term Limits.

The Committee Chair, Marilyn Gorodetzer was on top of things and as soon as 2 people were talking at once she stopped them, Also if a comment sounded like it might be about D. Israel, she stopped them. Not so bad.

But the conversation about the table had to heard to be believed. First off a comment was made that the politics of Term limits are difficult and not easy to understand. The committee members could understand it, But the Delegates could not. They are not smart enough.

The original request for Term limits covered 2 items. One was the inclusion of term limits and the other the stopping of a officer from holding another job that was Politically sensitive. I am talking about Joy Vestal. She is a assigned Vice President and she is the assigned Editor of the UCO Reporter. This should not be. But the committee in their effort to be fair split this petition and then had Olga take it all back for a redo. Result was Zero.

To begin with the Committee chair open the meeting with a remark that THEIR Attorney reviewed this situation and declared that it must be divided into 2. There was no written statement shown to anybody on this. We just got a statement from Gorodetzer. Also at the beginning the meeting was opened with a statement that the main subject was a Petition for Term Limits. Did anybody bother to bring a written copy of the Petition? No!

This whole thing was set up as a foregone conclusion. No on Term limits! No on Joy Vestal! As can be seen by the lack of preparations by the Committee chair and the smiling one, They saw no reason to treat this as a serious matter.

Well we are not done yet.

  1. We are right there behind you Olga and we support you. This meeting was an absolute disgrace. I think the committee knew before they even met with everyone what was going to happen and what their plans were going to be. WE DO NEED TERM LIMITS. As you say: NO FEAR, WE WILL BE BACK. GO FOR IT.

  2. We need to keep at it. We have made progress and that is why they are so afraid. people are joining with us and we must get the delegates to hear how stupid David et al think they are, the contempt with which they speak of them.

  4. Esther, you're right. They're running scared. Do they really think the delegates just signed, but didn't read what they were signing first? Do they truly believe the delegates read, but didn't understand what they were signing? Is the committee so out of touch that they don't understand why people don't run in the election? Do they not understand intimidation? Have they not seen the continuous intimidation of others? Have they themselves not intentionally intimidated others? Only in their dreams.
