		<description>Oh, this is getting really good. Two crazy political hacks like Sandra Crenshaw and Anna Casey getting all up in each other&#039;s face. I just love watching liberals argue! Anna, please, very few people know who you are -- you should keep it that way! Besides, shouldn&#039;t you be out stealing Republican yard signs?</description>

		<description>Is this anna casey?  Correct me if I am wrong. The sign in sheets that I am referring to were those completed by those nominated to be delegates. (I had four sets of official carbon copies) I had to check with the convention secretary if these people voted in pct. 3549&#039;s march 4th primary. I drew a line through those people who signed in twice during the convention with full acknowledgement by those present. By law all I have to do is initial it. Where did I say the convention was over? I made reference that everybody had not signed in.

All of those who indicated that they wished to be delegates were allowed to sign up ahead of the other voters because I asked them to help volunteer with getting everybody in. All of the those who indicated on the sign in sheets that I had were Obama as indicated in their own writing. 100% with one line left for me to sign in. We had already correctly estimated that Clinton would not have enough to get a delegate and Hillary supporters had a right sign in again as supporters for Obama which is what all of us in the Democratic pary will have to become if Obama gets the nomination. So what is the beef%  Hillary supporters conceded after I read the election day results. Correct me if I am wrong. 
Tell me if I have the right to recess the convention and call the delegates to reconvene.  As I suspected, all those nominated were not voters in my precinct.

Let me run the scenario to you and you tell me where I broke the law.  e-mail me at crenshaw_sandra@yahoo.com  Now when are you going to address the illegalities of the New Mexicans without poll watcher affidavits, grabbing the sign in sheets, giving hyped up directions.  I was elected to be the permanent chair. I am not the election judge and i didn&#039;t have the ballots, so I couldn &#039;t have changed votes.  Talk about one sided!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>sandra, with all respect, regardless of what transpired at your precinct convention, *it is against the law for a convention chair (temporary or permanent) to modify sign in sheets after your convention is over*.  any corrections or modifications are done at the county party level, and then the credentials committees.  also, age, race, gender, and other demographic info is OPTIONAL.  this is not something that is required on the sheets. if you modified it - even if your intent was pure - that is against the law.</description>

		<description>Thanks Sandra... I just hate it when one side gets the story out and the other side doesn&#039;t have a chance to tell their side of things.</description>

		<description>gwinn I posted my side, get the videos and they will tell the story my way I said it was going to go Texas way or hit the highway 
I don&#039;t do Illinois and I don&#039;t do New York only the Texas way 

For the record, I personally called the Obama voters in my precinct looking for someone to nominate for chair. I asked at the convention for an obama person to come forth to chair the convention. No one came forth.  I asked for a Hillary person to chair the meeting.  I asked if there was any one who knew Parlimentary procedure or robert rules to chair the meeting.  I held up the rule books and told them that if they wanted to change America we would have to start at the precinct level and that I never wanted to attend a precinct convention in 3549 with almost 700 people and I was the only one who knew the rules.

the sign in sheets were full and some of the people did not put there registration number, their age, their race and gender which is all needed in the process. It was almost midnight when I told them that I would call the delegates or go by their home to get the information because I did not have to have the information in until 
6:oo p.m. on Thursday.  So no one could be added. The only ones I drew a line through were those that signed twice.  I also told them that I had to verify that they even voted in the primary because the polls bookos were being used to validate those who were trying to sign in.

Look for the full story when I get a chance to talk before a audience and not on a cell phone while I am walking or doing something else and people cannot hear me.</description>

		<description>Well, not being one of those wacky Dems, I have a convention, not a caucus.  But by the Texas Election Code -- the precinct chair is only the temporary convention chair, and one of the first orders of business is to elect the permanent chair of the convention.  It sounds to me like the &quot;New Mexicoers&quot; that Allen mentions above are absolutely correct, and Crenshaw doesn&#039;t understand her own process.  Or is just a loon.  Or both.</description>

		<description>Allen:

As I mentioned in my response to the other post of the pictures, I would bet my life that there&#039;s &quot;more to the story.&quot;

Let&#039;s remember the context of these conventions: in the days leading up to them, BOTH campaigns engaged in hysterical fear-mongering that somebody somewhere was going to come in a steal votes.

In our precinct, we had supporters on both sides who came into the meeting on edge, and with printed copies of &quot;the rules&quot; as supplied to them by the campaigns. 

We were probably helped in our case by the fact that our Precinct Chair was a Hillary supporter, and her husband an Obama supporter!! That sort of reassured everyone that both sides would be fairly represented. And, in fact, through the night the concerns of anybody from either side were patiently listened to and worked through...so that, in the end, despite the confusion, I think most folks left feeling satisfied.

But! There was a *lot* of anxiety behind the scenes, whipped up by both campaigns. If there was not a chance to vent that somehow, then it&#039;s probably folks will come out with stories of irregularities,  on one side or the other.</description>
