Republican Party to charge new fees, vet volunteers, ban critics from state convention

[TexasTowelie]

The Minnesota Republican Party plans to vet volunteers, charge campaigns for volunteers and bar people who “publicly attack” the party or its endorsed candidates from attending its state convention next month in Rochester.

The requirements would seem to anticipate a chaotic scene, as the ongoing struggle between mainstream and more radical factions of the party continues.

The party is also asking all statewide campaigns to submit a list of their volunteers one week before the convention, and will charge campaigns up to $30 per volunteer, according to party documents first reported by former GOP operative Michael Brodkorb.

Brodkorb suspects that’s designed to dissuade people from bringing in hoards of people to “run around the convention.”

1. In the new Putin party,

members only have freedom of speech if that speech conforms to the party doctrines. Even corporations like Disney are not allowed freedom of speech if it goes against the Party's dictates, dogma.

Like in Huxley's Brave New World, everyone conforms, everyone is programmed, dissenters, non-conformists are exiled, or worse.

but does the total opposite of it.

3. Remind me to stay away from downtown while they are here.

To avoid stepping in elephant dung. Looks like serious fractures within the MNGOP. Plus, there is no such thing as a "mainstream" Republican anymore.

The DFL State Convention is here May 20th-22nd, for which I am a Delegate once again. We have much to be excited about.
