NM Repblican Party Central Committee Members to pick sides.

At a meeting this coming Saturday, an amendment to the NMRP Rules will be voted upon.

The amendment provides that deliberative meetings of the NM Republican Party will be run under Robert's Rules of Order.

No one should speak against the adoption of Roberts' Rules,
except in favor of a better set of rules.

Because if anyone votes against the amendment,
they are voting in favor of the status quo;
meetings ruled by the gavel;

meetings where they, or anybody else, can be
thrown out of the meeting for asking a legitimate question,

and have it all explained away with the unmitigated arrogance
of saying;

"My bat, my ball ..." you lose
(your right to participate meaningfully in decision making
that affect your interests.)

I doubt that there is a better set of rules to protect the
powerless in a meeting, than Robert's Rules.


I do know for certain that, the Rule of the Gavel is not one.
