Re: CD-10 Republican Forum?
Steve,Aren’t you supposedly a lawyer?
 
You are CCRP’s legal counsel after all.
 
But youdon’t seem cognizant of the prohibition against the county (or state) party fromendorsing a candidate in a primary in which multiple Republicans are running.
 
That’sexactly what you are suggesting by exhorting us to ‘get behind one candidate.’Per CA GOP bylaws section 3.02.04:
Section 3.02.04 Republican County Central Committees' Pre-PrimaryEndorsements for Partisan Elective Office in Special PrimaryElections or Recalls(A) Where there is more than one Republican candidate for nomination or election in a special primary election, no Republican County Central
46
Committee shall endorse, support or oppose any candidate for nominationor election at a special primary election or in a recall or recall replacementelection, except in the following manner and circumstances:
Full bylaws here:
 
http://www.cagop.org/pdf/bylaws.pdf Moreover, the prohibition is reinforced specifically in California Election Code section7354.
You are asking us to break the law.
7354. (a) The state central committee may prohibit or limit thepower of county central committees established pursuant to Chapter 4(commencing with Section 7400) to endorse, support, or oppose anycandidate for nomination by the California Republican Party forpartisan office in the direct primary election.(b) The superior court, in any case brought before it by the statecentral committee or by any registered voter, may issue a temporary
 
or permanent restraining order or injunction to prohibit theendorsement, support, or opposition by a county central committee ofany candidate for nomination by the California Republican Party forpartisan office in the direct primary election, if the endorsement,support, or opposition is in violation of the bylaws or rules of thestate central committee. All cases of this nature shall be in apreferred position for purposes of trial and appeal, so as to ensurethe speedy disposition thereof.
I will not be a party to, nor accomplice to any crime, nor aid and abet any illegalactions by you or any other o
f
cers or members of this committee.

We need to get behind one candidate.
 
If we don't, the Dems win, again.
 
Wenow have no Repub. Representation for the Bay Area in congress.
 
David Harmer is the strongest Republican with the best chance to win.
 
He can win withouta run--o
f 
.
 
Let's not diminish Mr. Harmer's chances by diluting our vote to other weakercandidates.
