Centinello on the Outs?
Written by Mark Harris on March 19th, 2005Well it looks liek the sick soap opera of CRNC politics continues to get worse… I can not confirm whether this is authentic or not though I did recieve a picture of their signatures. If so its the end of the line for Centinello though hopefully these folks who signed this letter realize that Gourley is no angel. We’ll see…

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 herby 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 constitution,
and remove his representation of the State. We hereby declare that
the Chairman, a Tyrant, for all intents and purposes is stripped of
his honor and decree. With a firm reliance on the protection and the
vitality of our organization and its clubs, we mutually pledge to each
other our dedication, our respect, our honor.Signatures to Ratify,
All other officers have resigned by means of defacto or dejure.

It it enirely real, if you dont belive the members call them thier phone numbers are on the signature page, it went out to all 4,000 CRS in NY!
19
PM
Well I mean its certainly the end for Centinello, but I just hope folks don’t mistake Centinello’s corruption for a need to support Gourley
19
PM
There is Doug VanNess who we as NY’s can support!
19
PM
as someone who’s very close to this whole thing (I helped draft the letter) I can say that this has nothing to do with the National election. At all.
The state committee (including Dan) agreed that New York would not stand for the scandal that happened with the donations and what have you.
This was based on what dan did in new york, not who he supports for national, as I believe that most of New York was against stealing money from the elderly.
19
PM
This is completely legit. As of now the NYCRSC is not endorsing anyone for national. As stated by the previous post this had absolutely nothing to do with national politics. I believe that we vividly expressed in the declaration why we did this. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

My Fellow College Republicans:
At this time I am sure you have read and received the unanimous declaration on behalf of the entire Executive Board for the New York College Republican State Committee. I am proud to have joined my fellow executive board members in signing that declaration.
Since our entire board was elected last April we stood divided. For the first time since all of us were elected to serve the New York College Republicans we have been united. We have all finally worked as one for one common goal, the good and future of the New York College Republicans.
Rather then attacking Chairman Daniel Centinello, I rather just say that it is about time that we work to remove him as Chairman! There has never been an individual who has divided the New York College Republicans as much as Dan has. Not only was the entire executive board non-trusting of each other, but clubs were dividing.
The future of this nation rest in the hands of New York! There are many important races including the 2006 Senatorial Race with Hillary Clinton. If we are weak internally, we will fail as we did in 2004 publicly.
Now is the time to bury the hatchet, make peace and join as one. Division in New York is no longer an option! We must work together and reunite, rebuild and restructure. When the day is done we will succeed! In years to come, people will look at this is one of the smartest moves in New York Politics! We will restore dignity, honor and valor back to the New York College Republicans!
No longer will bullies be allowed to hold office within the New York College Republicans. We will rebuild this organization so that Republicans run it.
May God Bless You and God Bless the New York College Republicans!
Respectfully,
Patrick
Eastern Vice Chairman
New York College Republican State Committee

PM
WE ARE FREE… BY GOD WE ARE FREEEEE………….
19
PM
Let me be clear with this statement - New York is solidly behind Mr. Michael Davidson for National College Republican Chairman.
Our state level work has no reflection or impact on our support for Mr. Davidson. We as a committee and we as individuals support Michael Davidson for National Chairman.
19
PM
What you guys have done to Dan is a disgrace! You guys need to grow up and get into the real world of politics. This is obviously a conspiracy by Bret Mecum.
19
PM
Ah, just like old times. This should be fun. What do you think Nick?
19
PM
I was quick to say that we were not going to endorse any one particular candidate because I wanted to make sure we did not step on anyone’s toes. I also did not want to allow any rumors to flurish about the NYCRSC endorsing a particular candidate when we had not discussed anything amongst ourselves. I am sorry if this took some people back, it seemed like the safest thing to do given the situtation. After speaking with some other members of the committee I am hereby pledging my support to Michael Davidson for National Chairman. As stated by several others our state politics at the moment have no reflection upon our national. I hope this will calm some of you that were taken back by the situation.
19
PM
clearly that wasnt the real nick langworthy, he never puts his thoughts in writing
19
PM
Doug VanNess for National Chairman!
19
PM
I would agree….
19
PM
I see the VanNess supporters are still alive and kicking…where did this guy come from??No offense or anything, just curious…
19
PM
How about me kids. Do I put my thoughts into writing?
19
PM
Bill….I am not going to lie….I dont really know who you are…not that you probably know who I am, but what the hell
19
PM
Well Matt, I’m your predecessor.
19
PM
I am assuming yuo’re not THE Bill Schneider…why on earth would you be on a CRNC blog
19
PM
well pleasure to meet you. It’s my honor.
19
PM
Bill…its been a long time, How are you?
19
PM
as I see…from SBU huh? you still in WNY?
19
PM
Because I’ve been keeping tabs for the past two years, and I’m curious as to this little turn of events. Ask me a question.
19
PM
In WNY? On and off again.
19
PM
Hi Ash.
19
PM
well…get some balloons and cheap wine and we have a reunion. Glad to see I will still be following CR politics in 4 years….
19
PM
what do you think of the whole situation?
19
PM
Well, this whole humdrum with the fundraising of the CRNC has been going on for quite some time now, but no one has had the balls to make it public.
As for this letter, written by a very verbose author, I’m curious as to why everyone wants Dan’s head.
19
PM
VanNess? no chance?
19
PM
You guys better be putting your full fledge support behind Davidson or else I will rip your balls off, iron them out and fax them back to all our fucking counties.
19
PM
Go Right Ahead…you have no more power here anymore Nick! We are not afraid of you anymore..
19
PM
In case there was any vagueness…..I am completely in support of Davidson….and keeping my balls
19
PM
Matt, you haven’t answered me.
Oh, and to the Old NY CR, what about me?
19
PM
about dan?
19
PM
to Old school……I wouldn’t be to sure that Nick has no power…..if there is anything I have learned in this whole process it is that nick knows everything…..he is like the yoda of New York CR’s
19
PM
Yes, Centinello.
19
PM
did you read the letter??I thuoght we made that clear…
19
PM
Nick should not matter anymore, if you wrote what you did, then you should dump Nick at the old folks home where he belongs…he is no longer a college student is he?
19
PM
There was no one action that set us off, this has been a year long accumulation for all of us. We just finally realized we had better do something about it or we were going to be in the same positions next year
19
PM
well old school he does…so deal with it
19
PM
About time we got Dan Centinello out. As former Executive Director of his administration, it didn’t take me long to figure out what kind of guy he was. I commend the current Executive Board for their actions and taking the first step in creating a great future for the College Republicans of New York.
19
PM
The only future for NY is without Old Man Langworthy..he should retire and move into the old folks home
19
PM
alright well I have dedicated entirely too much time to this blog today…farewell
19
PM
Did you guys ever hear the story of the grasshopper and the ant?
19
PM
It goes something like this. The ant worked tiressly all spring, summer, and fall. He worked his butt off so that the colony could survive the cold, hard winter.
The grasshopper on the other hand, spent the whole spring, summer, and fall playing his tiny violin, spending his time unwisely.
When winter came, the grasshopper had no food, and had to beg the ant for some nourishment so he wouldn’t die.
Now in the story, the ant, the good Christian ant that he is, decides to forgive the grasshopper for his sloth during the growing and harvest season. He let’s him into the colony so that he may partake of his feast.
Unfortunately for you, it seems, the ant just closed the door.
Maybe you should have worked harder at your job Matt. I’ve been there. The dead wood needs to go.
Oh, and your tiny violin? A string just broke.
See you in April.
19
PM
well fortunetly enough for me childrens stories cannot be applied to reality…otherwise I may be in trouble
19
PM
Oh Matt, you’re such a joker. What have you done to add value to your position? Really, name some things and I’ll pick out the BS.
19
PM
It’s become apparent that this conversation has lost integrity and will soon be reduced to nothing more than rumors and mud slinging. If you would like to set aside a couple days, perhaps you, me and a few hundred town and county chairman can get together and discuss the extent of the problems. For myself I am in quite good standing with my county and town committees, can dan say the same?
19
PM
Doug VanNess for Chair!
19
PM
Ooh, the county and town. Damn, the credentials are to much for me.
As for mud slinging, it seems that you have thrown the first shot. I suggest you go on the offensive now to clear your dirty name.
You know, I just love it when a malcontent starts throwing out names. “I know him.” or “I worked on his campaign”. The fact of the matter is that you have no actual work to back yourself up, do you?
You simply think that a title gives you authority? Didn’t you sit in on the YAF leadership seminar? A Harry Climber never wins.
So why did you really write the letter? What’s wrong? Come on, let’s make this public.
19
PM
NY CRs,
It’s over. It’s time to move on. We got our clocks cleaned on Election Day, and it hasn’t ended there:
The chairman of the Siena CRs has been suspended pending expulsion hearings on politically motivated harassment charges.
Hillary Clinton has been chosen to speak at RPI’s commencement, despite coming in 15th out of 22 when the senior class voted.
Campus Action, the socialist activists in Albany, are chasing military recruiters off local campuses for no good reason.
And, in case that wasn’t reason enough, there’s an election in seven months.
Let’s put this behind this, and vow we’ll never mention it again. We have our work cut out for us, and if we come together and get the job done, we’ll once again be proud to call ourselves College Republicans. Otherwise, there was no reason for any of this nonsense in the first place. IM me at IhaveRPIgoggles - let’s get to work.
19
PM
There is only one thing that can truly fix this organiztion. There is something that needed to be done long ago, and everyone knows it! We need to unite as a State and give Eric Amidon what was truly his last year, the Chairmanship. If we are going to unite this state, it can only be done by electing Eric Amidon the next Chairman of NYCRSC.
I know that he has recently declined this nomination. However, I also know that he has more support from colleges across this state than any candidate could dream of. I ask that all chapters help me in asking Eric Amidon to be our next New York College Republican State Chairman.
19
PM
Eric Amidon!?! GIVE ME A BREAK!! HE DOES NOT DESERVE THE POSITION. HE CHEATED JUST AS MUCH AS CENTINELLO DID.
19
PM
Who is Eric Amidon?
19
PM
Eric Amidon is the former NYCRSC Eastern Vice chair, he ran aginst Dan. the Former Chair Ben Dublin, and Sean Carroll fixed the election by making fake schools and chaninging the constitution by themselves. Eric now works for the NY State Party.
19
PM
Eric is the next State CR Chair!! About time!!
19
PM
If Bill Schneider is actually posting on here - I think he should tell everyone how he earned his nickname-
19
PM
Personally, I think it’s time for bill and nick to get into the real world. Once around the block Nicholas…
19
PM
Eric Amidon?? He told me he will sleep his way to victory!!!
19
PM
Is there anyway we can talk Eric into running again? I know he has better things to do now, but it is the only thing that can save the organization. I agree 100% with Bradley.
19
PM
I, for one, believe that it is about time that Dan Centinello got what he deserved. He has done nothing but separated us as young Republicans. It’s time for a new beginning and I feel that we need Eric Amidon as our leader! Many people agree with me on this and I think if we come together we can make New York, once again, strong with Republican spirit!
19
PM
I have spoken to Amidon personally and he as assured me he is not inerested in running. He is a great guy, but his time in the CR’s has passed. There are certainly a number of dedicated able minded people that are fit for the job from all regions of the state. This is not going to be solved with one person, or one chairman. This is going to require a joint effort from all involved. The State committee has realized this and has made contacts with every necessary person to ensure we do not divide the state like it has been for the past year. We do not need a repeat of last years convention. We must now rally together as New York CR’s and do what is best for all. We have plenty of good leadership in this state, we just need to make sure we have good leadership in every position possible.
19
PM
Patrick for Chair!!
19
PM
Well I for one hope we can change Eric’s mind for the stake of the entire state. There is about 25 colleges lined up behind Eric right now. We have been doing the numbers out in the West and there is no doubt in our minds that if Eric runs, he will win. That would be a victory for the entire state.
19
PM
Eric unites so many different factions of the state together. I dont see another guy fit except him to run.
19
PM
In response to “Somewhere in New York” Mike Backus also sent out an email two months ago condeming Dan but also saying that he will not run for state Chairman. I guess we will see where people stand now!
19
PM
Alright, I just had a long talk with a bunch of people. I will be at the State Convention, God permitting. I’m going to just observe. Not because I’m some old warlock seeking to eat any young naive souls, but because I spent 5 years in this organization and oddly enough, I’d like to see it survive and prosper.
Should Eric Amidon be the new chair? No, there are many, many reasons why he would make a bad chair.
Am I pissed at Matt Pelkey? Well, sort of, but it’s not specifically because of the letter. I was a Western Vice Chair once too.
After talking to a bunch of people tonight it seems that obviously there is a discrepancy in what I am hearing. More specifically it seems that many ER board members are upset over the communication between the Chair and themselves.
Now, hearing the whole story, it seems tha I know the situation.
I have to say, there is a lot of relevance to my time spent in the CRs and the situation that has transpired. Same crap, different day. If anyone will bear me, hopefully I can talk about it in Rochester.
- Bill
19
PM
Or you can tell me to f-off, if that’ll make you feel better.
19
PM
I say someone needs to get off the phone and on the phone with Eric. We need him to announce before Monday!
19
PM
Bill, I think you need to move on from “CR” politics. Your time is done and your advice at the convention is not wanted. I am with Matt on this. Have a great night!
19
PM
Eric Amidon for State Chairman!!! No doubt in my mind that if we got Eric we will get results. We will have Pataki, Giuliani and D’Amato working with the NY CR’s, if we got Eric Amidon.
He is truly the best candidate and is deserving of it.
19
PM
Eric is considering!!!
19
PM
Well that’s great Tim, but I give advice when people ask me for it.
If you want to be an ass, I’ll gladly talk with you at the convention. I really love being an old ghost that sticks his nose in things.
19
PM
Then why don’t you move on scumbag?
19
PM
Eric Amidon is a womanizer and does not know anything about the organization. He was a pawn of Brett Mecum with Jimmy Gentile and only wants the title so he can forward his career.
Sorry to break it to you guys, but Eric was still not the best choice.
19
PM
Because your such a sweet kid Tim. Please keep goading me on.
19
PM
For your information Eric is Engaged…
19
PM
Ooooh, so how did his girlfriend take the news?
19
PM
Grow up Bill…your dreaming in the past.
19
PM
I’m wide awake and ready to take away your avenue of communication. Let’s dance.
19
PM
At least he is not some wash up has been like you are. He has a chance to lead this organization while you just want to hold on to the reigns of power. Why dont you cut the cord, cut your loss and just mind your own business. You are not a CR anymore. Let the CR’s be CR’s and let the old folks be old folks.
My advice pre-convention is to stop acting like a Political Bully. Remember Boss Tweed and Tammny Hall is not in Erie County!!
19
PM
Bill I wasn’t trying to start anything with you, I was simply stating that I was not the sole person on that letter, nor was it my idea. I guess I feel a little more personally attached to the situation given certain circumstances that will remain unsaid. If you are as close to the situation as you sound, then I need not tell you. I too care about the organization, and is actually the sole reason I agreed help. Up until a month ago I had all but given up because I felt there was nothing that could be done. What has happened was the result of several people who realized the problems that came together to try and do something about them. I agree that we should all try and figure out the best approach. I just feel that this organization has come second to national politics, and if we wish to really bring positive change to this state we need to abandon any personal aspirations or agendas. This next year is more or less going to be interim gov’t. One that needs to reconstruct this state committee and its relations. I certainly do not want to push any fellow New Yorkers aside at this point and time. So as a member of the current administration I would like to extend an olive branch to all that were wronged in the past year, and welcome them back to the table. This is not a personal attempt to gather support for my own campaign, as it may seem to some of you. I have already expressed that under no circumstances will I be running for chairman. So understand that I am helping at this point in time to try and change things for the better, as are we all.
I hope all of you New Yorkers will come to the convention to try and figure out where we are going to go with this organization, and how we are going to rebuild it. There are a lot of problems with this organization and lets focus on solving them, not just creating new problems.
19
PM
I know for a fact that Eric Amidon is not a womanizer. He is nothing short of a great Chairman! Bill you need to move your sorry ass along and into the real world.
19
PM
Today, as we all are aware in NY State, we received this e-mail from a group of NYCR executives. As the humble chairman of a strong and long-established CR club in the western region of New York, I have been idly observing the events of the past year since Mr. Centinello’s ascent to the position of state chair.
The events that occurred today truly disturbed me. Particularly because of the people who placed their signature on this letter. Over the year, in particular, I have been contacted twice by Mr. Pelkey by e-mail, a major shortcoming for someone who needs be in constant contact, especially during the year of a presidential election. He has never offered to visit my campus and meet with my club. He has never befriended me, even after I have repeatedly introduced myself, and worked to reach out to him and his organization. He has never outreached to any organization, beyond the two e-mails. Further, I attended one meeting of two regional meetings he has held. The meeting I attended he was present, but the other he planned and failed to attend.
The list can certainly go on of his failings as a regional chairman. While he may have his grievances with our state chairman, he certainly has no excuse for his impotency concerning western regional affairs. Mr. Centinello did not stop him from contacting organizations in his region? Mr. Centinello did not stop from working hard and fulfilling his position? Mr. Centinello did not stop him from working for the Republican Party and the state we all love?
Mr. Pelkey should stop blaming others. He clearly spends a lot of time looking at himself in the mirror, but maybe he should look further, and see that it is his fault and all of the executive board who have completely turned their backs on the man who trusted them and helped them attain their current positions. There is only one thing in politics that you can have and that is “your word.” These gentlemen have relinquished this trust, and I hope all of you will disassociate yourselves with people like Gregorio Pro, who for his own selfish reasons, would to put it very lightly “stab his friend in the back.”
As the chairman and observer of these affairs, it has been Mr. Centinello who has worked his ass off to make this state work. He has called me, IMed me, visited me, and showed that he truly cares about my club’s future and the state’s future. Mr. Pelkey has shown none of these traits, and he cannot blame his lack of these traits on anyone but himself.
Truly, we all need to look through the dirty tactics of the authors of this e-mail, and see that these men are upset with not being asked to be put on the upcoming ticket with Centinello for next year in the NYCRSC.
Considering the events over the last year, if you were Mr. Centinello, would you put someone so lazy, selfish, and simply a vain person, to be on your ticket again? The state is moving in the right direction, and some individuals, the authors of the e-mail, are stopping this with their selfish tactics. Anyone who speaks personally with Mr. Centinello will realize his devotion, his work ethic, and his sincerity in understanding each club and helping out in everyway possible.
I feel “hard work” is the only thing you need to be successful throughout life, and especially politics. Mr. Centinello has embodied the image of someone working for all of those CRs across the state and I. Mr. Pelkey has failed us in the western region and the entire executive board has failed us. No one has stopped them from working hard! I will never vote for men who bitch and complain, and at the same time do not do a thing. Good riddance to the authors of this e-mail!
19
PM
Ouch…poor Bill is just relating back to his old smoke filled room days of mob boos Langworthless…Name calling Eric has never gotten you guys anywhere..look where he is now, hes doing more than you are for the State Republicans.
19
PM
How about Erin McTiernan for Chairwoman of the New York CR’s? I hear she is the former Executive Director under Centinello who resigned his administration because of his corrupt ways. Let her be our Condi Rice!!
19
PM
Hahahahah. Ok champ. How old is Eric now? Isn’t he ready to move one? Really. I was the guy who actually went out and started clubs. He was the guy who went out and got his license taken away. Then he needed money from Brett to fund his campaign.
Now you see, your dilemna is that I am a persona non grata. I’m just a voice in the wind, spelling out your dirty little secrets. You have much to lose while I have none. So I can sit hear and spill all of Eric’s dirty laundry and not have to care about the repercussions.
It’s really quite funny. I get to spell out all the crap you did in the past few years while you just whittle away at me.
So please, tell me how much of an old geezer I am while I spell out how much of a dishonorable ass Eric is.
19
PM
Yeah let me guess # 84 had to come from Brockport or Keuka…they are only supportive of Dan beacuse they are the conventions host schools and the look to gain from being his lakey
19
PM
Matt, I hear you loud and clear. I hope to discuss this with you at the convention.
As for all this other stuff, well, welcome to the NYCRSC, the most disfunctional CR state in the past 20 years.
19
PM
Slander and Liable …. GOOOOOOOOOD
19
PM
Isn’t the internet wonderful? We can discuss things out in the open like never before. Back in my day, we had to pick up the telephone to bitch someone out. This is great.
19
PM
Technology is GREAT!!
Who is Brett Mecum?
19
PM
Brett Mecum is a security guard.
19
PM
at a mall.
19
PM
so then whats the big deal???
19
PM
how does a security guard fund a campaign then? i need a security guard job like that!!
19
PM
So is Bill, Ben Dublin or Nick Langworthy? That is the question tonight!! So Bill who really are you?? If Eric was doing it to just advance his career, then why is it that he is refusing to run for Chairman when he would easy get elected? So Nick or Ben…answer that!!
19
PM
Well he was a big deal, back in the day. Brett did a lot of nasty shit, that people did not like. He probably had good intentions back in the day, but that got morphed, very quickly.
19
PM
Bill, I think you’re in the wrong conversation - I think you should be more concerned about social security than the future of the CRs. Eric Amidon started up my chapter - he’s been a driving force behind the CRs in the Capital District - if every region of the state had an Eric Amidon, we, as CRs, would be better for it.

well listen either way it has become apparent that we are going to probably need some serious sargent and arms to make sure things stay in line…anyone know of any 300lb Republicans that aren’t Italian? jk…I’ve got nothing by love for Italians

As fun as this blog business is, why don’t we move this to a more suitable format - IM me at IhaveRPIgoggles - I’m setting up a chatroom.

Actually Bill is Bill. I never liked Ben, but Nick and I are still friends. The point is that I never liked Eric, especially after Brett tried to worm his way back into the organization. I really kind of pity Eric. He was used as a pawn of old Brett and he got bit in the ass pretty hard because of it.

Oh im sure well see Sean Carroll there, he and Dublin rigged the election the last time. Here we go all over agian. If this Declaration is to mean anything it should mean a open and fair election. And a retirement to Nick, Ben and Sean.
19
PM
Well Sean Carroll is not Italian, but he is definitely over 300 lbs. and guaranteed to be at the CR convention because he is another one that should move on and be thinking of Social Security along with Bill.

Ken, I hear you, I like your ideas. But tonight we are talking raw bloody politics, the kind that make your teeth ache with anticipation.
Ken is the kind of guy I admire, the guy who gets things done. He doesn’t get a full head when people say good job. He doesn’t look for a higher position. Rather he does his job, gets things done, and makes the organization better. Who would have thought.
Props Ken.

Bill, how old are you?

Actually I think Nick has always been in, seeing as he’s the one who’s been successful.

I find the current slandering that is tainting Eric’s name utterly and completely obnoxious and uncalled for. I can assure everyone that I can talk Eric into running for Chairman. No one fret!
