    In midst of in-fighting, Spiker [Ron Paul supporter] wins re-election as Iowa GOP chair

    Note that they are harping on corporatist donors who expect favors in return not donating to the state GOP. That makes this effort important: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...make-MONEYBOMB

    Pretty sure they have 6 year terms, and they are staggered in reelection.

    Also, Ed Martin was elected as Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party...don't know who he is, but according to Cindy Lake of the Clark County Republican Party, it's a win for liberty.

    Yes! I knew the odds were in our favor for this but I'm glad its now secured. Very glad Ron made the mention of helping them with donations (or whoever runs Ron's facebook).

    In addition, Martin recently had forged alliances with several new state committee members who were backers of former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and his son, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. The Paul forces had snagged the seats during the August statewide primaries, which saw the elections of regional party posts.
    Rand Paul had campaigned for Martin last fall.

    sailing - You should start a Iowa GOP Moneybomb/donation thread. I donated and would like to receive the +reps that come from those threads.
    "The average person figures that the president tells the truth, the vice president tells the truth, the secretary of state tell the truth; and they don't. They don't. The founders understood that people would be flawed, that political leaders would not be the best of men … so they set forth the constitution. We don't follow the constitution in this country; had we done so in 2001 and 2002, the world would be a different place" - Karen Kwiatkowski

    2 year terms. Chair, co chair, treasurer, and secretary were all elected today. This is how it is in Iowa. It may be different in other states.

    Ya the chairmen etc yes 2 years, but I'm talking about the central committee committeemen. Those are the ones with 6 year terms from what I recall

    I wonder if there should be a limit on how many times you can post the same video on the same day.

    “But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.”

    Exactly. Why would we want that guy to win reelection.

  26. #23
    That guy was co-Chair vying for the position of Chair. He lost his bid for the Chairmanship and did not seek reelection for co-Chair. He is no longer an elected official of the Republican Party of Iowa.

    Iowa State central committee members are elected every two years. This happens at our caucus every two years. We should still be holding a good share of the central committee in 2016.

    However, our National Committeeman and Committeewoman are elected to 4 year terms. Up for reelection in 2016 at our state convention. Hopefully Rand has the nomination sewn up by then.

    no it would appear a bunch of times on the same thread. If you only post it once, THEN it will only appear once.
