Across the state, GOP organizations have been passing resolutions in support of State Senator Colton Moore‘s brave constitutional stand against State Speaker Jon Burns when he tried to block him from attending a Join Session of the legislature, and then had him wrongfully arrested. The Speaker’s office has still issued no apology nor had the unlawful charges dropped.
One county GOP organization that has been unable to pass a resolution on this subject is the Cobb County GOP where their Parliamentarian Donna Rowe crafted so much “red tape” in the rules of the organization as to make it virtually impossible for the Cobb GOP to pass any resolutions on timely subjects. The Cobb GOP Resolutions Committee Chairman Leroy Emkin is also a GRA member, as are several other members of his committee, and they adopted a version of the resolution which has been unable to advance for consideration before the Cobb GOP due to the onerous restrictions.
As a result, Cobb Resolutions Chairman Emkin submitted the drafted resolution from Cobb to the GRA Board, asking them to pass the resolution on behalf of our organization since the Cobb GOP has not been given the opportunity. The GRA Board today passed the resolution without objection. You can read the resolution here:
