Subject: Article XV, Section C. Controversy
January 6, 2022
Dear Chairman Brown,
We the undersigned will not comply with your directives to hold “re-organizational” meetings. We believe that your mandates are a direct result of the GOP’s retained council Chris Murray’s tortured interpretation of the bylaws, specifically his struggle with the definition of the word “new.” At best, this was a mistake on your part and at worst an attempt at the deliberate destruction of the Colorado GOP.
ARTICLE XVI, Section F. was added by the SCC at a time when Colorado was growing and the addition of a new Congressional, State, or House District was imminent. Those of us SCC members in attendance at that time clearly knew the intent of this bylaw was for the creation and formation of a Republican organization within a newly formed district (CD 8).
Which bylaw or statute do you claim grants you the sole authority to dissolve 107 GOP District Organizations and vacate 328 recently duly elected officer positions? In your email of 12-10-2021, you use the term “re-organizational” or “re-org” meetings five times. The term “re-organizational” which you used acknowledges these districts are existing, therefore they are not “new.” Your position as the Chairman of the State Party doesn’t even afford you a voting position if a district votes to remove an officer or to amend district bylaws, so how could you presume you have the sole authority to remove ALL district officers and nullify ALL district bylaws?
The adjustment of boundary lines does not create any officer vacancies or nullify any established bylaws. Currently serving officers were elected in the Spring of 2021 and the bylaws require them to serve their term in their district until 2023 or they are removed by their committee, or they resign.
Therefore, we refuse to hold “re-organizational” meetings as you have directed. We the undersigned demand that this issue be brought before the entire SCC. We expect a “reply all” email response to the question of your authority within 48 hours.
