AFRNC Chair Announcment

[Keystone Phil]

I'd like to agree with ColinW and say that Omaha just won't work for an AFRNC convention. I encourage fellow Republicans to come up with some suggestions for sites and ask that our Chairman give some consideration to these other locations.

Place I would suggest: Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and of course Philadelphia 

[Keystone Phil]

I wouldn't mind Richmond as the location.

Look! Convention delegates take a quick break from the convention activities.

I can imagine you sinking in a huge wave, flanked by dozens of security guards.

Just joking, Keystone

You might have been joking but it's probably the truth. I've never gone rafting and I could just see myself falling out once I step onto the raft 

I was just thinking that others who plan on attending the convention would enjoy it. I'd probably find a soccer field and kick the ball around with some of the guards (or delegates that happen to be soccer fans).

[Keystone Phil]

Ok, listen all. I WILL NOT put the convention location to a vote. That is ridiculous beyond belief, and could only be an issue here.

Bylaws or not, Democracy is ridiculus beyond belief?

He's just being ridiculous about this. He just wants to make the final decision. I am urging members to push for a vote.

Akno, I am a water person (I enjoy swimming) but when it comes to rafting, I would probably be a disaster

As for soccer, I played defender and midfield most of the time.

11 years playing soccer and a few years (forget how much exactly) of baseball. I also played basketball when I was much younger (I'm terrible at that game).

Bono, this being an issue isn't ridiculous. You picked a city that most in the party disagreed with and all we are asking is that it is moved to another location. I think the delegates should have a right to pick what location they think is best. And as Chairman, you should listen and participate in this debate instead of saying "Look, I'm in charge. It says it right there. I'll be picking where we go."

I was probably best at baseball, but you can only take so many years of hand stings after hitting in 40 degree weather. This conversation may be more appropriate somewhere else, we have a knack for taking the conversation away from the original topic.

I agree. Sports conversation ends here.

 Last time around I chose to put the convention site up for a vote, but I was in no way bound to.  In the interest of time, it is perfectly valid for Bono to be taking this course of action.  You and others who have posted in this thread should not take this so seriously.

Omaho will be just fine.

We don't believe Bono is bound to put this up for a vote but several members would like to see it elsewhere. We're not the ones taking it so seriously, Bono is. "I WILL NOT put the convention location to a vote."

And Omaho might be "just fine" but Bono wants it in Omaha! See how the situation changes. 

[Keystone Phil]

Ok. The convention will be held at the Colorado Convention Center, on Denver, Colorado.

I will continue to push for a vote on the convention site. The President has expressed his opinion on this matter and would like to see it held in Richmond. Now I know the choice does not revolve around the President but out of respect for him and the others that would like to hold the convention elsewhere, I ask for a vote.

Phil, if you read the AFRNC Party Constitution:

"The national chairman will decide when and how the convention will be conducted."

King, if you read my statements from before, I know that the Chairman selects the convention location. However, in my opinion, the Chairman should open a vote for the location. He doesn't have to do that, but it would be nice if he did so especially since most (from what I have seen posted here) would like a vote.
