In March 2024, the KCRCC passed a \u201cResolution Rejecting Supremacy<\/em>.\u201d A similar Resolution was first introduced at a previous meeting by a Precinct Committeeman, but she withdrew it saying the wording was not quite right. At the March meeting, the Chair, after her objections that she did not want to offer it to the body yet, introduced it himself and said the wording came from Heather Scott.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Chair stated that the Chair of the local Democrat Party had challenged him and the KCRCC to join the Democrats in a Resolution \u2013\u00a0<\/span>under a deadline of a few hours<\/em>. This challenge was a response to the alleged racial taunting event in downtown Coeur d\u2019Alene against a Utah women\u2019s basketball team. At the March meeting, the Chair told the KCRCC that he had told that Democrat he had no power to issue a Resolution himself, but that the body had to approve of it. Our KCRCC Chair told the body that he would send the Resolution after passage to the Democrat Chair early the next day \u2013 there was a deadline. Thus, under pressure, the Resolution was pushed through, although it took about an hour and a half, an executive session, and five members left before the vote.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Here is that\u00a0<\/span>March Resolution<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

I wrote a new Resolution for the April KCRCC meeting, see below. I thought more time would allow a better-crafted Resolution than the \u201churry up\u201d process used at the March meeting. (Aside<\/strong><\/mark>: why should the KCRCC step-and-fetch-it for the Democrats anyway? Why not take time to do it right?)<\/p>\n

In the linked proposed April Resolution, the first three Whereas statements came from the Republican Party Platform with words added to clarify the statement. I felt it would be proper to make a statement about Republican Core Values and a rejection of discordant philosophies, and explicitly reject some philosophies that have cropped up among the uneducated and confused in Kootenai County that have proven to be historically destructive over the centuries, such as Monarchism, Groyperism, antisemitism, and others. My Resolution Supporting Israel passed the KCRCC in February, but it took an hour and a half, plus an executive session.<\/p>\n

Some have been concerned that these historically destructive philosophies have infected the KCRCC, some of its non-KCRCC subcommittee members, and vendors to the KCRCC. I hope to address some of these concerns by making Bylaws changes, because an organization\u2019s internal operations are controlled by its Bylaws. Bylaws modifications were submitted for the April 2024 KCRCC meeting, see\u00a0<\/span>Bylaws Page<\/a>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

A Resolution would be a good start:\u00a0<\/span>Proposed April Resolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I sent the proposed April Resolution to the Chair for inclusion on the agenda, he was concerned about the definitions to certain terms used in it. Wikipedia shows the following explanations:<\/p>\n
