Charles at TwoConservatives discusses the latest Prince William County Republican Comittee Meeting, and points out why I’ve always thought that achieving anything worthwhile at the local level is pointless:
The meeting was quite uneventful, just the usually little spats mostly about moving the meeting along, or actually resolving things. We had some fun trying out different wording on the anti-senate-immigration bill resolution before voting to approve the original.
We also had some fun amending our bylaws to raise the dues we pay, by the time we were done it just said whatever we say the dues are is what they are. A process that took too long.
In fact, most of what we do takes too long, in my opinion, because we aren’t a terribly well-educated group regarding Robert’s rules and the appropriate order of amendments and votes. No big deal — I’m certainly no expert myself, I’m part of the problem, not part of the solution here.
Actually, Charles, I think you’re pointing out the problem rather than being a part of it.
