Republican insurgents to protest Meehan, et al. tonight

POSTED: Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 7:36 PM
Filed Under: Elections | Protest

Just got word from the Loyal Opposition, a group of Republican insurgents trying to take down the Republican City Committee's de facto leader Michael Meehan and Co., that they'll be protesting tonight at the United Republican Club (3156 Frankford Ave.) at 6 p.m.  They argue that the Meehan is not recognizing several ward leaders who won fair and square, simply because they are part of the Republican insurgency. Sez the LO:

The Meehan machine is attempting to overturn the results of Ward Leader elections that occurred legally, and in conjunction with current by-laws, simply because they do not like the outcome of those valid elections. This Kangaroo Court is a fraud and disgrace to our city.

They have demonstrated a pattern of deceit, corruption, forgery, and even raising people from the dead during this entire party rebuilding effort.  They are attempting every backhanded trick to keep the Philly GOP small, quiet, and complacent to the wishes of their Democrat bosses.  The smaller the Philly GOP is, the easier it is to control.  This cannot be allowed to stand!! ?

The Clog'll keep you posted as we learn more.

If these so call leaders wanted to dump Michael Meehan then why did Al Schmidt recomend Meehan for his current post. Now they have another one of these so called leaders going on fox 29 kevin kelly saying that the RCC is racist because a ward leader was told to leave because he did not have the proper paper work and just happen to be from north philly and non white i cant believe he sank that low to try and use the race card when if you look at all the ward leaders sure most are white but there are atleast 10 or so black ward leaders one asian ward leader and a couple spanish ward leaders and kevin did you know every one of the except two voted for meehan and everyone of them except one voted for the bylaw changes so nice try useing the race card you shown your groups true colors.
