that blog isnt credible, stick to the texas blog

On Arizona going for Gourley it is, current CRNC First Vice Chairman Manny Espinoza delivered his home state for Gourley. According to sources Gourley promised Espinoza that he would help make him Hispanic Outreach Director for the RNC. A long shot, given Davidson’s connections to those in the Bush Campaign and in California.

Dan Centinello for National Chairman
10
PM
1. Dan Centinello doesn’t appear to be running.
2. I wonder how many Arizona CR’s actually support Paul Gourley. This whole patron system crap of “I’ll give you a job, you give me your delegates” is really starting to get to me. It is true that the only people who support Paul Gourley today are those who have a job coming there way…. but sadly, that may be enough.
10
PM
jobs coming THEIR way…. flying off the handle is no excuse for bad grammer.

I think it’s funny if Gourley really promised Manny he would help him get that position, and that Hoplin had Manny in charge of Hispanic outreach. Manny can’t speak a word of Spanish and did nothing major with the program. How is Manny supposed to reach out to the Spanish media when he can’t speak the language???

PM
Mike should start promising people jobs for votes. It is not like its an uncommon practice in politics. You scratch my back, and I will scratch yours.
Secondly… not a credible source? Its common knwoledge now punky!
11
AM
Sure, the practice of jobs for support or votes is a part of any good political campaign… but for Gourley, that is his political campaign. Rather than trying to reach out to regular CR’s like Davidson has, Gourley is trying to go over our heads and still win.
I seem to be having trouble finding a person who supports Gourley who wasn’t bribed, threatened, bullied, or otherwise coerced into doing so. If that is what our elections are based on, then we are in more trouble than we once thought.
11
PM
A system like that is doomed to fail. With Gourley’s run of luck of late, I’ll bet it’ll crumble right on top of him, if he’s lucky enough to swindle more votes than he already has.
If you want this organization to stay in tact …
Pray for DAVIDSON!
11
PM
I say Dan Centinello should run…Have him put his actions where his mouth is.
11
PM
I wonder if Dan runs and wins if he will start a Dego outreach?
11
PM
I think Dan’s putting his action behind Davidson.
12
AM
Never the less NY should wheigh in thier support…”Pretty Boy” Centinello has claimed 88 clubs…if thats the case (Personally, I dont think he has a chance in hell sneaking that through an audit)he should play a part in shaping the national future, He should Run for national Chair, after all his state is crumbling from within…rumor has it he only has 7 clubs credentaled so far to vote for him for State Cair agian! How Pathtic!!
12
AM
Actually i heard only 7 clubs did NOT credential and they are trying to branch off. where did you get ur info from?
12

It looks like Gourley has balked at Davidson’s debate proposal. http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=crnctruthcaucus

Chicken shit for being the only State Chair to stand up for what is RIGHT? Centinello for chair. Fuck Davidson and Gourley!

Rumor has it that Delaware will be going for Gourley. Incoming Fed Chair has endorsed Paul, and will deliver the ‘First State’ for Team Goruley.

Dan Centinello has access to the person watching the email accounts of one or both of the campaigns - less than an hour after I sent an email saying I had information that would be useful to them, Dan contacted me on AIM:
Dan Centinello: Tisk Tisk Ken. you do realize the amount of power the people you emailed have. And if they hated me they would not have showed me the email. Oh am i going to love my senior year
Thank you.
13
PM
Maybe someone emailed him the link you posted on here an hour earlier?
13
PM
This is a comment on a blog, not an email. Dan’s put moles in my organization before (albeit, not the best, but the intent was there), and now he has them again. On that note, if anyone wants to hear a good story about the illustrious leadership of the NY CRs, just call anyone living in the eastern half of the state north of NYC - just don’t let Dan find out about your dissent, he’ll cut off your chapter, too.
13
PM
Nope. I am not going to fuck with Centinello. I heard enough stories to know better.
13
PM
I’m not sure about Dans Godfather tactics in NY, but what he’s doing on the national level is a courageous thing.
13
PM
I’m afraid “Godfather tactics” is the wrong term, as it would apply effectiveness and respect from subordinates; his style for election fraud borrows more from Joe Kennedy than Don Corleone. As for courage, having the strength to shout “Hey! Misleading the elderly is wrong!” isn’t an expectation I restrict to state chairmen.
13
PM
That post just shows how out of touch with what really goes on you are. Centinello has respect amongst people all over this country and that is enough to build respect off of in itself. Politics is a legal mafia and Dan stuck his head out and went against them. That is where the courage is. He did what was right and did not pander to power. CENTINELLO FOR CHAIRMAN!
13
PM
Aparrently Hoplin is up to his old tricks, threating that MN GOP wouldn’t work with Tony Zammit, the candidate for MN Fed chair who’s challenging Grassel’s handpicked successor.

http://www.zammitforchairman.org
Well let them try. Tony Zammit has all ready received the endorsements from chairs of two of the largest chapters in the state, including Bethel University, Jake Grassel’s home school. With the campaign being less than 48 hours old, Zammit is looking pretty strong right now.
And the idea that the state party is not going to let us pick our own leadership is insulting. I would hope they are not so immature as to take their ball and go home just because someone they don’t get along with was elected to represent the Minnesota College Republicans. Once again it is the old tactics of threats and intimidation against what is a popular and experienced leader in the College Republicans. Everyone knew they would resort to these tactics rather than trying to sell their inexperienced and unknown candidate. Hopefully it won’t work this time around.
Tony Zammit for State Chair!
14
AM
And you are? I can’t help but notice all of Dan’s supporter thus far have been anonymous - the only thing more obscure than their identity is their reasoning. Unless, of course, grandstanding and fraud have suddenly lost their stigma. IM me at RPIGOP if you need me to elaborate, I have enough respect to spare the other readers being told that which most of us already know.
14

hey little kid…shut up already; either get out of the sandbox or shut up. Back to CRNC national Chair race everyone…
14

The last time I checked, that was related to the National Chair race.

We need a final solution for the Gourley question
14

Centinello for Chair!! Hey Nick never did so Dan Should.
14
AM
Mark or Alex, nuke these childish rants. This is pathetic, honestly ya’ll can be clowns on another blog but I am sick and tired of reading about Gourley and Davidson and now this goofball Centinello who is supposed to be “feared and respected” like some sort of Don. Gimme a break, you are all small fish and are flooding the blog with your high school politics. It’s Save the GOP, not Save the CRNC.
14
PM
Michael, this particular part of the Save the GOP blog is dedicated to the CRNC. Discussion of the CRNC is a relevant issue here.

Lisa, you were drunk and gave me a blowjob. No need to be pissed about it.
14

The last three posts are so believable. What a horrible man Dan is. HA!!!!! Davidson or Gourley… carry on.
14
PM
LOL, quite the post. Although highly unlikely that Dan posted that. You will notice that the first post says “Dan” and the second says “Dan Centinello.”
14
PM
Gee, “Dan Centinello” I highly doubt someone running for a conservative platform would flaunt his sexual escapades in a post. Try again, but more importantly, you’re gonna have to try harder.

“dan centincello”, don’t be a b*tch!

A Centinello survivor posting their story? I didn’t know they let little boys access these blogs!

Does Marcus Povinelli still take it up the ass from Ben Dublin??
15
PM
The NYCR’s are a joke. Harry Climber, I mean Dan Centinello (of whom I had the privilege of meeting in Washington), is far from a true leader. The NY chapter will soon be defunct if this character gets re-elected. Let’s get back to the topic at hand and leave Mr. Climber’s name out of this, after all, that is all he wants.
15
PM
If you really wanted to get rid of Dan in NY you would have a name
15
PM
Looks like Danny Boy is on his way out in NY State. Looks like the true power behind his throne has decided that Danny has become too much of a liability. Out you and your hot pink shirts go!
15
PM
http://www.crvetsfortruth.com (a definite mouthpiece for Team Gourley) has Missouri as endorsing Davidson. It does neglect to note that Pennsylvania or New York are going for Davidson.
15
PM
http://www.crvetsfortruth.com has been very fair in every regard covering the election. I suppose they could be called a mouthpiece for Team Gourley because they are the only group out there that will tell you how it actually is without spin, and without an agenda. If they were a mouthpiece for Gourley they would have also not have failed to neglect Oklahoma, who’s state chair is a Gourley campaign chair (www.gourleyforchairman.com). Pennsylvania will likely go for Davidson…New York will now, unless Centinello can’t get his house in order.
15
PM
Everything the “CR vets for truth” say has obvious bias in it, it’s filled with subjective judgements against Davidson and for Gourley. For example:
“Yesterday National CR Chairman Eric Hoplin issued a powerful open statement in response to Candidate Michael Davidson’s campaign press release issued over a week ago.”
Powerful? That’s your opinion guys, not an actual fact. Like the saying goes- “Just the facts ma’am”
or another-
“Last week in the race for CR National Chairman Michael Davidson challenged Paul Gourley to a virtually unlimited number of small debates at State Conventions Click Here for More Last night Gourley refused to ignore this political tool and responded to the challenge.”
It’s a “political tool”? Could it be that CRs actually might want to hear what these candidates have to say, BEFORE delegates are selected to go to the national convention? That’s political? Sorry “CR vets”, you are the political ones. If you want to present a balanced view, good, there’s a need for that. But don’t tell us you’re telling the truth, but then doing your own spinning.
15
PM
the only thing about crvets is……….well, it’s boring.
15
PM
truthcaucus has more on el jefe threatening mn fed chair dark horse tony zammit. he asserts that the mn gop will “not recognize” the state group if there is a “hostile takeover” … all hail king hoplin, and woe to those who tempt to cross him.
15
PM
‘without spin,’ that sounds like someone saying keith olbermann is a good journalist. they refuse to even recognize that hoplin has brought one heck of a mountain of bad press on the organization all of us have worked so hard for. for example they completely ignored michigan gop chairman’s saul anuzis statements about the crnc in today’s free press. (http://www.freep.com/news/politics/bytes14e_20050314.htm)
15
PM
credentialling has only given california four delegates. pennsylvania and texas don’t provide davidson many delegates either.
15
PM
Dan has no clubs supporting him and his family are even Democrat supporters. Look for yourself!! http://www.elections.state.ny.us/plsql_browser/contributor?CATEGORY_IN=IND&FYEAR_IN=ALL&AMOUNT_IN=0&ORDERBY_IN=N&NAME_IN=centinello&POSITION_IN=ANYWHERE The family even openly campaigns for Democrats. Dan has been seen at many Democrat campaign events before he decided to run for State Chairman.
16
AM
Credentialling doesn’t come out until April. Where did you here that california only has 4 votes?
16
AM
Everyone needs to stop being so fucking afraid of Dan and actually stand up to him!
16
AM
I don’t think anyone is afraid of Dan. and it sounds like his old boss langworthy is turning on him.
16
AM
Then do it! Give me a Canidate aginst dan im sure if there was another canidate there would be record attenednce at his state convention (by the way right now there are only 7 schools going) The best thing for Dan to do for the sake of the state is resign. Even the State Party in NY takes him as a joke, they dont work whith him or his people. They have thier own youth people…can we say dan is not legitmate.
16
PM
well, we have a case where a person whom the white house and the rnc won’t deal with possibly being our next national chairman. i’ve heard that the wh office of political affairs won’t let w or any prominent republicans be photographed with gourley.
16
PM
Frankly, Dan’s been one of the few state chairs and CR’s to stand up and speak out on the CRNC issue. If his work in NY has been less than par that’s unfortunate, but his decision to stand up to Hoplin and Co. is worthy of praise and his voice is an important force on the National Board. Without Dan on the National Board, our organization is unquestionably weaker. I support Dan and anyone like him who is willing to stand and fight for what’s right when it isnt politically expedient.
16
PM
Mazanec and Shuy and the other person writing for the crvetsfortruth are all tools. Half of their posts expound on how fair and unbiased they are, followed by, “Look, we include stuff from people we disagree with.” The dozen other blogs covering the CRNC stuff do exactly the same thing. The most telling part of their blog is the description at the top. You’d think Mazanec was going to have an orgasm beating off to how great Hoplin Co. are for terminating the RDI contract. Their blog is irrelevant, and I wont be following it.
16
PM
If California is anything like my state, most of the chapters arent comfortable releasing the personal information of their members to the CRNC. Therefore it’s pretty easy to know how many delegates you’re going to get.
The whole credentialing process needs to be changed. It’s open to so much corruption that having any trust in it is almost impossible. They should base delegates by the number of universities in a state (or the sum of their respective enrollments), or just follow the electoral college format.
16
PM
These are the obvious precursors to a revamped NYCRSC. Clearly, Dan and his “intern” spend far too much time on this site and not enough time trying to better our party. Thanks, Dan.
16
PM
Haha good guess. You’re only off by about 3000 miles. Try again.
16

16

Decent Blog but they are missing people in the section that details those involved. They don’t have Nick Langworthy up there. He was the NY chair and NE caucus chair. He is advising Davidson and is playing a big role in what is going on.
16
PM
It looks like the tides are turning here in NY and in due time all will be set right. There is a storm a brewin’ and I would not want to be caught in its path…to bad for the RINO
16
PM
PS….To you know who, hows that smoke up your ass treating ya?
16
PM
i like crnc chatter…..distinctly different from crnctruthcaucus (i love his narratives…he’s first in my book no matter what)
16
PM
Is it true that the New York State Rep. committee and even Centinello’s own county committee(ECRC)want him out? Wow, thats tough to do…congrats! Perhaps a toast in order…better yet, you could use the NYCRSC checks you’ve been personally spending to buy the bottle!!
*Best luck in the future kido

What happened?
16
PM
Pretty Boy Danny better spend some more money on some new headshots with his pink shirt and tie combo cus his job as General is about to end. I cant wait untill his slimeball mug is gone from the state website. I cant wait till he needs a real job! Good luck trying to get one in New York lets see if everyone who you did not help out will help you out…haha fat chance! The Gumba is toast!
16
PM
Does anyone think a third candidate will enter the race? I have been really impressed by the State Chair from South Carolina. He has a sharp tongue and has been quite outspoken about the RDI scandal.
16
PM
Dan Centinello for National Chairman!! He should Def. Run.
16
PM
Although the internal politics of New York is intriguing, I dont think this forum is the place for a dialogue of this depth. If you dont like Dan in NY then get rid of him.
Secondly a 3rd candidate is not viable and No, Dan is not running for National Chairman
16
PM
NY CRs, let’s just drop the discussion about Dan - we’re not going to change any minds, nor do we need to. What’s gone on in NY isn’t a secret - if Dan *were* to run for national chairman, the other states would have better sense than to vote for him. Let’s focus on doing some good here at home, and leave this soap opera business to the blogosphere.
16
PM
Dan Centinello for National Chairman!! WHY? Becuase we dont want that looser in NY anymore!!
16
PM
I could give a shit less about internal NYCR politics. Go discuss that somewhere else. If people want to talk about Centinello running for National Chair, fine, but that’s stupid because it’ll never happen. Centinello’s made too many enemies for that to ever happen.
My question for everybody is who are the candidates going to have on their tickets? In my opinion, that’ll probably decide how this election goes.
17
AM
Dan Centinello will be Davidson’s Executive Director. Rumor is if Centinello delivers the North East he will be named Executive Director. What happens to the lonely NY CR’s? Does that mean Dan will just walk away from his job and leave everyone high and dry?
Is Davidson really a National Candidate you want to elect if he has Centinello with him? I THINK NOT!
17
AM
Leave NY high and dry? We don’t want him! Take him!
17
AM
Deliver the NORTHEAST?!?!?!hahahahaha he can’t even get double digit schools to his own conference!! Once again, more smoke up Davidson’s and everyone elses ass
17
AM
Dan is a self confessed Machiavellian opportunist. It just so happened that a scandal happened that gave him something to grip about. If this would have never happened would Dan’s name even be on this page? No. Now many of you say that makes him brave, that it makes him a statesman, a person we should stand behind. I think anyone in their right minds will agree that speaking out against something because it took advantage of elderly is the right thing to do no matter who you are. However, speaking out against the elderly so that you can shamelessly promote yourself is unethical and completely irresponsible. Dan is a sham, and a complete waste of time and consideration. He has sold out his closest friends and allies so that he simply hold on to his chairmanship. He makes empty promises and has never kept his word. He has ideas, but he has no ambition, or dedication to follow through with them. He simply leaves a wake of bloody and wounded. Davidson would be a fool to bring Dan on his ticket. I can say right now that not even New York what support him as a national candidate.
17
AM
I wonder if Team Gourley had anything to do with these anonymous posts against Dan… No they are way too ethical for that right.
17
AM
I am sure all of you speak in the majority (saracasm). It is human nature that if someone is this hated and someone is this despise that they will inevitably see defeat. He would have an opponent, rather many opponents because of the up-for-grabs support to garner. Speaking to many people in this state and as someone who had to follow the NYCRs and work with them i know that Dan is extremely popular amongst 95% of his state. The other 5%, ladies and gentlemen, activists in this blog. some of that 5% stems from the kid he defeated (yet screams of an unfair election…right). Every state chair has people who hate them. The higher one climbs the more enemies he gathers. Its the law of life. The NY 5% conveniently found there way in a blog to unite. posting anonymously allows them to look like a 90%. So to Dan: You have New York’s support in any endeavor you wish to achieve. I am not a CR but just someone who has been following the inner workings and the results of the NYCRs.
So to these 5%: I am certain i can name all of 6 of you who are posting and your motives. For now, i have to get back to the leg. hall.
So to everyone: Let’s be Republicans without factions. It is great to support one candidate for national election over another. However this inner state stuff shows that you care more about yourself than the Party. A previous poster can say Dan said what he did for himself… not true, rather it was for NYCRs. He cleared the name of NYCRs in this scandal as to go on record and announce that we do not condone these actions. He not only set out to clear CRs name around the nation but it definately rings true to NY. You should be so lucky. I know these comments and posts wont stop their irrelevancy but what is inevitable is… inevitable. Godspeed, Vince.
17
AM
For tomorrow will be forever known to the chairman as a black apple, a black friday.
17
AM
Come on man, You call the whole eastern part of NY state 5% there are at least 20 schools in the east??? Plus the countless schools in the Central and South that he has alienated…His own Central Vice Chair of his E Board sent out a letter speaking out aginst Dans actions… Its not 5% of the state its about 30 fed up Chapters across the whole state!!
17
AM
ONE POST AT 1059 THE OTHER AT 1100 … VINCE WAS RIGHT. IM DONE WITH THIS POSTING.
17
AM
Dan has not asked for anything if Davidson is elected. Centenielo, I’m assuming is focusing on delivering the Empire State for Davidson, and will do all he can to help Davidson nationwide, to help bring a new day to the College Republican National Committee.
17
PM
Isnt it funny that New York CR’s under Dans reign have done absolutely nothing with Gov. Pataki, Mayor Giuliani or even Mayor Blommberg. Its funny with Giuliani being the America’s Mayor, you would think Danny boy would have them involved. I guess all the bloggers are right.
Centinello is just a waste of space!
17
PM
Will you stop with all the cheap shots on Dan Centinello! We in NY are lucky to have him as Chairman. He is the greatest chairman New York as ever had. Just ask him!!
17
PM
Right!!! And Im sure he would say otherwise…”Oh Danny Boy, The Pipes the pipes are calling” It is time for him to go. If there is another canidate we would see a 100% increase of credentaling schools, people dont want to be tyied with his falling administration.
17
PM
(sing to the tune of Danny Boy)
Oh Danny Boy, the Votes, the Votes are comming..
To get you out as Chairman…..
Your time is done and all your cronies are going down..
Your going to be voted out sooooooonn.
Oh we cant wait to say adieuuuuu
Oh we cant wait to get some one new………
And it will be great for New York College Republicans to elect a new Chairmannnnnnnnnnnn.
Happy St. Patricks Day!!
17
PM
Lets get one thing right….Dan Centinello does not have an administration, he has either desolved the position, forced the person to resign, stop recognizing them, or cut off communication with the person. The NYCRSC right now is Dan, and his intern. There is no administration

Awww the kids are playing so nice. Grow up y’all.
17
PM
Rumor has it, even the Gumba’s own college hates him. He’s trying to install his “intern” as chair since he won’t have a damn thing to do after this weekend. Who is the moron who thinks 5% of the state hates Dan? Try his entire e-board, which he managed to alienate through his douchebag Machiavellian tactics, from all regions of the state. Maybe someone should inform Centinello that old Niccolo didn’t achieve any fame until he was cold in his grave. Machiavelli’s life was a joke, just like the soon-to-be former chairman’s.
17
PM
Rumor has it that nobody cares to hear about Centinello’s State Chair race. Don’t you have a NY you can flood with this crap? What’s the target audience of this? Y’all have way too much time on your hands.
17
PM
I think Dan, as usual, will live to see another day. He has a way of getting out of these things.
17
PM
Dan is a poseur mobster, it is best never to assume that someone is a real Italian just because they have a vowel at the end of their name. The amount of chatter in this comment section should serve as a signal to the one Centinello supporter who is left to jump ship. More to follow.
17
PM
Dan is a very fine boy! He never complained all those times I held him over the desk. He always did as he was told. You guys should leave him alone!! This whole thing is an obvious conspiracy by Brett Mecum….Brett and everyone else leave Danny alone!!
17
PM
Look, everyone knows that Dan won fair and square. By changing the constitution and letting the executive board vote just so that we made sure Dan got in is fair game. It was okay to make up schools to ensure that other kid, Eric didnt’t get in. Eric was a corrupt kid who did not want to run this state. So the members of the executive took it upon themselves to make sure Dan won.
17

all i have to say is
CENTINELLO
FOR

for all you who continue to post… KEEP THE JEALOUSY SHINING! It lightens up my life.

I would like to officially announce the candidacy of Douglas Van Ness for the office of National Chairman. He has been a devoted College Republican at the University at Albany in the Empire State. We believe he will serve the Nation well, as he has served in the United States Navy, representing the core issues that are important to the Republican Party. His platform and web-site will be announced in the next few weeks. He can be reached at douglasvanness@gmail.com

what’s this uproar in new york today? does anyone have a copy of the email that was sent out?
18

Finally another candidate in the race for National Chairman. I just got off the phone with Doug at the CRNC and he assures me that this Doug guy is for real.
18

I know Doug. I do not support Doug. Doug is working for Dan Centinello. VOTE NO for DOUG!!
18

The aforementioned website is not mine. I did not serve during Vietnam. I was born in 1979. My actual website will be announced soon. As for number 121, I do not support Dan Centinello. I was a big supporter of his impeachment recently.
18

I would like to mention that I believe that “anonymous” posts are the posts of cowards. I stand behind my beliefs and anyone who does not should not post. Please put your name on your posts and back up your beliefs or do not waste our time.

Hey Van Ness,
Way to be another fucking pathetic loser. You, and all your little chump friends are tools and your “candidacy” is just further proof. I hope you enjoy your irrelevancy, especially when my boy dan gets re-elected.

And another thing, why dont you actually support your party and fall in line. Some people are meant to be leaders and others are meant to be the grunts, you are clearly not the leaders.

Please do not ever compare Dan Centinello to Karl Rove. Dan is NOT Karl Rove. Nor will he EVER be.

Dan “knows how to get shit done at all costs” - I’m going to have to ask that you elaborate on this one, because so far, all I’ve seen is his ability to provide a posterchild for metrosexuality and meglomania.

I have to reiterate my disgust with anonymous bloggers. I have no idea who “The NY Majority” is because if they truly are the majority in New York then they are most likely Democrats. That said, I do have to agree that some people are leaders and some are not. Last evening I saw a declaration by the e-board of the NYCRSC renouncing any authority Dan Centinello has. That says to me that he is not a leader and not fit to lead the National Committee. As for “fall[ing] in line,” I do support the party as long as the party is being conservative. I am not a politician. I am citizen, a college student, a veteran of the Navy, and a conservative that has a vision for America.

A Declaration of existing members of
The New York College Republican Executive Board
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
“There comes a point when as a people you realize that you can no longer just simply protest. You can no longer verbally chastise the actions of others while you allow those wrongs to be done. This point comes when you realize that you must stand up for what is right, and ultimately what is for the best of your constituents. What is best for the clubs, the organization, the Party.”
–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of itself, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new organization and a new Chairman, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their productiveness and vitality. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that the NYCRSC long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that this organization is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Chairman to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, their responsibility, to throw off such a ruler, and to provide new Guards for the future security of the organization. —Such has been the patient sufferance the New York State College Republicans; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter the current situation. The history of the present Chairman Dan Centinello is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over this organization. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid state.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, and the State constitution, the most wholesome and necessary for the good of the organization. He has obstructed any proposed checks and balances proposed by the State Committee Executive Board.
He has forbidden his State Committee to enact actions of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has called together the State Committee in an untimely, inconsistent manner, at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their clubs, for the sole purpose of fatiguing, and manipulating them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved clubs and entire regions repeatedly for opposing his policies or lack there of.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to allow others to be elected; whereby he has rigged and stolen elections. He has used intimidation and scare tactics to force people to resign, and ultimately abused his power of influence.
He has endeavored to prevent the expansion of clubs in this state unless it overwhelmingly and unquestionably supports him.
He has made officers dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices.
He has erected a multitude of new clubs, and harassed our members, and intimidated our executive boards.
He has used slander, and libel, both personal and professional to degrade the character of those in his presence. He had done this for personal gain and with complete disregard for others.
For cutting off communication amongst the Executive Board by disabling our emails and contact information.
For destroying all communication on a regional and statewide level.
For destroying relations with Town and County committees.
For destroying relations with the New York State Republican Committee.
For taking away our Chapters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally, the forms and policies of our Constitution.
He has incited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to promote revolts in our own chapters.
He has ignored what is best for New York State so that he may focus on national politics, all at the expense of the organization and the Republican Party here in New York.
In every stage of these Oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Chairman of the New York College Republican State Committee.
We, therefore, the New York College Republican State Committee Executive Board in affiliation with the College Republican National Committee are hereby making a declaration of independence. By the authority bestowed upon us in our beloved constitution, and our moral obligation, we do hereby strip Chairman Dan Centinello of all clout and power. We hereby proclaim control and oversight of the 2005 NYCRSC Convention and all of its policies. As a unified State Committee Executive Board, we remove the authority to recognize and derecognize any club from the Chairman’s hands and back into the committees. We herby remove any power delegated to the Chairman by our const
