Reagan George returns and follows up on specific amendments to the Republican State Party Plan. Yes, this is "weedsy" - and worth following along and listening to. Especially if you ever wanted to see things get fixed with the Republican Party in Virginia. This is not simple criticism. It's a real attempt to be part of the solution. The American First Caucus of Virginia https://america-first-caucus.org/ The amendments discussed: PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 AMENDMENT - Delegates to any Republican Conventions or other processes used to elect internal Republican Committee offices is strictly limited to dues paying Unit members that have been formally constituted as Members of their respective Unit Committee. EXPLANATION – This amendment will stop the gamesmanship being played to recruit relatives, friends and associates that have no ongoing relationship with any element of the Republican Party. In many cases the fees to become a convention delegate are paid for by monied interests that have a hidden agenda regarding the future of the Republican Party of Virginia. Simply put people that are currently involved in the day-to-day operation of the party should decide who is running the party. If they cannot be bothered to join their Unit they should not be allowed to vote on how to run the party. This will also provide an incentive for each unit to organically grow their membership. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 AMENDMENT - Eliminate the need for a State Convention by combining the 4 to 5 elected candidates to be elected during the existing 11 Congressional District Conventions. EXPLANATION – Except for the fundraising opportunities afforded to RPV by having a convention, it is a huge burden for delegates to drive across the state to attend a meeting where four to five people are elected. In some cases, it is a 4 to 5 hour tone-way trip for state convention delegates to get to the venue. Couple that with possibly an over night stay, meals, gas, and the pre-file fee becomes a barrier for many loyal members to attend. The drop-off between Congressional Delegates and State Delegates and the need to be present to vote gives credence for this amendment to be passed. There are also some advantages to consolidate and shorten the campaign timeline that candidates must spend running for their positions. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 AMENDMENT - Add ten dollars dollars to all Unit member’s dues to be divided equally between RPV ($5) and the remaining five dollars allocated between each Congressional District where the dues paying member is assigned. EXPLANATION – By adding a ten dollar surcharge to each Unit’s annual dues the membership can easily contribute to normal day-to-day operating expenses for their Congressional District and RPV’s paid staff. It is hard to estimate the total amount of money this amendment would provide. It would be easy to calculate if anyone knew how many dues paying members there are statewide. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 4 - Future SIP PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 5 AMENDMENT - Voice votes are allowed only if all members of the voting quorum agree to a voice vote. Any dissenting vote requires a recorded vote on the motion made. EXPLANATION – By their votes you shall know them. Voice votes have an advantage in that time to vote is kept at a minimum. Unfortunately, a voice vote can not only hide how quorum members vote thereby obscuring their voting record but that type of vote can allow one person, the chair, to declare winners and losers. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 6 AMENDMENT - Ranked Choice Voting is not to be used in any Republican internal election unless a statewide emergency status is announced by the governor. The State Central Committee can then decide the approach to be used for voting. EXPLANATION – In keeping with the RNC’s resolution prohibiting the use of Rank Choice Voting, as-well-as, the same resolutions passed by the Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Republican Committees this amendment prohibits the use for the majority of internal elections. The only exception is if/when the Governor declares a state of emergency. It is only then that State Central can explore various options open to them. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER 7 AMENDMENT – The following categories of individuals are not allowed to be members of the State Central Committee. • All Elected Officials that currently occupy state and Federal offices, not including local elected officials • Staff and administrations officials of those includes elected officials currently employed or previously employed by those said officials for 5 years. • Immediate family members of said elected officials (eg, Mother, Father, Spouse, Brother Sister). • Current staff from state and Federal Caucuses, Political Foundations, and PACs controlled by Elected Officials • Campaign Management or Consultants that receive substantial payments from state and Federal campaigns for their livelihood. EXPLANATION - Undue influence is at the heart of the restrictions categorized as Conflicts of Interest. This means that individuals on the State Central Committee may not be voting with the party’s best interest in mind, therefore, this Amendment lists those individuals who may not be elected to SCC. To see where some of these ideas came from, take a view back at our earlier SIPS- SIP #34 https://rumble.com/v45huyo-sip-of-tea-34-reagan-george-returns.html SIP #23 https://rumble.com/v2emq78-sip-23-another-double-sip-conversation-with-reagan-george.html SIP #20 https://rumble.com/v2atx0g-sip-20-a-double-sip-conversation-with-reagan-george.html

From the 3/15/2024 Facebook VATP post... https://www.facebook.com/nelson.velez.75/videos/386716530972270 VATP Chairman Nelson Velez reviews the odd and ridiculous outcomes of the Fani Willis charade.

At the end of every internal conflict , the call to come together and "let's work together" So we have to ask: What the heck does that even mean? We'll give you a quick hint: Depending on who says it, it doesn't functionally mean a 'D@Mn' thing. Featuring guest video from Thor Cristos. Leave a comment. And, if you liked the video - Give us a Rumble! If you somehow didn't like the video, lie and say you did by giving us a Rumble!! Surely we can "work together" on this!?

Part 3, we focus on what can "We" do? Also in this part 3, the host obviously experiences microphone "trubbles". Even the creaking chairs return! One key element of the solution discussed in this 3 part series in connection to inaccurate elections being a fundamental civil rights issue is the necessity of a citizen hand count.

In this Sip of Tea we continue our discussion with Thomas Kasperek of the Virginia chapter of United Sovereign Americans. To seek valid and accurate elections, is to pursue the essential civil right; all other enumerated rights are in question without it. If you ever visit a website link in a podcast description, make it this one. https://Unite4Freedom.com https://unite4freedom.com/media/

In this Sip of Tea we meet with Thomas Kasperek and discover that the drive to reclaim Free and Fair elections is still ongoing with a largely unused tactic. Hint: Free and fair elections are at the very least a matter of civil rights.

In this Sip of Tea #38, we talk (again) about the State Central Committee. Will we see true conservatives voted in enough number to the Republican State Central Committee to begin the push to deal with the State Law that essentially takes over the party nomination process? In fact we'd need all members to be committed to adjusting to the law that went into effect January 1st. Then, somehow convince the other appointed half to make the changes that will equip units to develop a way to reclaim their necessary ability to nominate their own candidates. The Law: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title24.2/chapter5/section24.2-509/ Attorney General Jason Miyares short summary: "a political party may not select a nomination method that de factorequires covered voters to be physically present to participate or that otherwise has the practical effect of excluding their participation." I guess they want to force us to vote by phone? About our guest: Daniel Bradshaw is a proud lifelong resident of the 5th congressional district of Virginia. He started his political involvement at the age of 13 by speaking up in front of the Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors about a local property rights issue. Volunteering for Republican candidates over the next few years led him to run for and win the chairmanship of the Prince Edward County Republican Party in 2010 at the age of 18. Serving as chairman for just under a decade, he successfully recruited teams of volunteers, raised 10's of thousands of dollars, and organized dozens of events. He has also served on staff for 5 Republican candidates between 2013 and 2017. Today he resides in Amelia County with his wife Kristi and runs his business, Nehemiah Homes, LLC.

In this SIP Edition #36, we have a conversation with Author, Blogger and Virginia political blogger David Shephard about all points in between of November 2023 to November 2024 + a peek at 2025. Author: https://www.amazon.com/Elections-Have-Consequences-Cautionary-Tale/dp/B0B54WHVRP Substack Blog: https://davidshephard.substack.com/ Memorable Quote: "Youngkin's business end of his veto pen" What happened? Why did the Secure Your Vote effort have no winning impact on the Virginia House and Senate Races in 2023? What does this mean for the Virginia Gubernatorial race in 2024? Will it be Winsome Sears vs Abigale Spanberger for Governor in 2025? The Presidential Primary is in play with early voting - - with the final election day of March 5th, 2024

For this SIP of TEA edition #35, Host Buddy Bishop chats it up with VATP Chairman Nelson Velez about the 2024 election year in Virginia. They also hit upon a valid reason why every election is always the "Most important election of our lifetime" 2024: Three elections, a Congressional District convention, a State Convention, and local Mass Meetings. It's a lot. Your participation and awareness is critically connected to Keeping the Republic in Virginia. Leaver a comment and give a Rumble!

It's been a while since our last Sip of Tea with Reagan George. Nine months since Sip #23 wherein we looked forward to another discussion. Time is always short. Resources can be found. Yet, the "key" seems to be a recipe of three main ingredients: 1. The idea 2. The contacts 3. Getting organized Explore and learn about the idea and intention of seeing the Virginia State Central Committee reformation and an emerging component of seeing that through - The American First Caucus in Virginia.

Money in the 2023 Elections... The subtitle could be - Things aren't quite as bad as you think. The key seems to be better candidates, voter engagement, and a bit more money.

This is an edited version of the presentation given by Xi Van Fleet at the Virginia Tea Party Winter Summit 2023 on December 2nd. Xi Van Fleet describes herself as “Chinese by birth; American by choice, survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, defender of liberty.” She was born in China, lived through the Cultural Revolution, and was sent to work in the countryside at the age of 16. After Mao’s death she was able to go to college to study English and has lived in the United States since 1986. In 2021, she delivered a school board speech in Loudoun County, Virginia against Critical Race Theory that went viral and ignited national conservative media attention. She now devotes her time and energy full time to warning about the parallels between Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China and what’s unfolding in America today. Since going public with her message, Xi Van Fleet has appeared on Fox News, Newsmax and radio shows such as Glenn Beck and podcasts across the country. Her book "Mao's America" describes the parallels between the cultural Revolution in China and the upheaval in America today. The comparison is no accident. It's an instructive read told by a survivor of the cultural revolution that encompasses more than is detailed in this video. One of the more telling cautions not covered in this video is what awaits any semi-thinking young person of Woke America if they get what they wish for. https://www.amazon.com/Maos-America-Survivors-Van-Fleet/dp/1546006303/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mao%27s+america+a+survivor%27s+warning+by+xi+van+fleet&sr=8-1

Dr. Sheila Furey returns to Splash of Tea with VATP Chairman Nelson Velez. In this post election podcast, we find that what could have been a celebration is instead a call to action and renewal of commitment. https://vamfa.org/ https://vamfa.org/gcwanfs-summit-rally-2024/ God’s Children: We Are Not For Sale Summit and Rally 2024 January 15, 2024 Marriott Hotel and Bell Tower Capitol Square Richmond Virginia.

VATP Chairman Nelson Velez talks with Bill Byrd of the Virginia Council We've had both the The Virginia Council Chairman John Reid and the Vice Chair Ann McLean on our channel in the past. https://rumble.com/v2vdvkh-john-reid-vatp-summit-2023-enemies-seen-and-unseen.html https://rumble.com/v2qn43s-splasjh-of-tea-ann-mcclean.html https://rumble.com/v2qn5ps-sip-26-who-put-the-confederate-statues-up-and-why.html

It can happen at any time. People you counted on - people who counted on you - all comes to bitter disappointment. Let's tale a sip and talk about it

Buddy Bishop chats with VATP Chairman Nelson Velez about two important topics: 1. The Jim Jordon Speakership 2. Israel and WWIII While we don't know where this will go, we feel the pressure on the 25 hold-outs matters. Primary among them are Virginia's Jen Kiggans. 1037 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 (202) 225-4215 Update - Mike Johnson took the House Speakership quickly and handily - without contest by Virginia 5th District Congressman Bob Good: "We have a new Speaker of the House! Thankfully, the Republican Conference unanimously voted yesterday to elect Rep. Mike Johnson (LA) as the 56th Speaker. However, he was the first in many decades to be truly elected by the people’s representatives, to work and fight for regular Americans, instead of the special interests in Washington."

Going outside of the typical programming, VATP Chairman Nelson Velez interviews 18th Virginia SD Republican Candidate Tony Goodwin. It makes sense to do so. Nelson led the fray to gather recall signatures against Lucas. It set a page in Virginia history. With more than double the required signatures, the judge threw it out. Yeah, the judge answered to Lucas. Fast forward to now. Lucas; aka "The Mob Queen" has got to go. This is Nelson Tea Party home turf. It also is an excellent Bell weather to see how far the support for Youngkin's governance can and will go. So, meet Republican Candidate Tony Goodwin! https://agoodwinforportsmouth.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AGoodwinforVirginia Endorsed by The Hampton Roads Black Caucus!
