At the 7/23 CRA Board meeting – it was revealed that a mathematical analysis of listed members versus dues money collected yielded a severe disparity between what was collected in dues versus what should have been owed based on what the records indicate the CRA’ s membership to be.

This means that many of the units that the “other side” is complaining about the removal of may well have never paid a dime in CRA dues while being used for years to manipulate CRA endorsements. It just does not stop.

Alpine Heights was de-chartered unanimously by the CRA Board – meaning that several on the “other side” supported the action.

Records suggest that the Alpine Heights Republican Assembly had not sent delegates to a CRA Convention before the 2011 Convention.  This is a violation of Section 6.02 (Convention Participation).

Evidence suggests Alpine Heights Republican Assembly did not elect their delegates in accordance with their own bylaws.  Their delegate roster was hand-written in the same handwriting as three other units and faxed in from John Bovee’s office in Sacramento.  This suggests possible violation of Section 10.04 (concerning the election of delegates by the club).

It appears that Alpine Heights Republican Assembly has not met since they were chartered and has no meeting minutes.  At the convention, their Designated Representative (Collin McGlashan, who lives 527 miles away in Sacramento) was twice asked directly if the unit met and he refused to answer.  It appears that this unit is not meeting, which is a violation of Section 10.05 (concerning quarterly meetings for chartered Republican Assemblies).

When contacted by the Credentials Committee, the unit’s officers refused to provide records of membership or bylaws, in violation of Section 10.07 (concerning the availability of records).

The Alpine Heights membership roster contains exactly 15 members, all with dues that expire on 5/1/2012.  This is the only unit for whom the CRA Membership Records do not contain any individuals whose dues have expired.  This uniform date implies that their dues were paid after the April 2011 Convention, but there is no evidence of such payment.  It appears that there has been a violation of Section 4.08 concerning the remittance of dues to CRA.  This discrepancy over dues also calls into question the eligibility of the unit to send any delegates to the CRA Convention.

There is no evidence that this unit complied with the requirement for each member to complete a membership form in accordance with Section 4.01, one of the oldest provisions of the Bylaws.

There is no evidence that this unit collected the mandated dues from its members ($25 per person, plus $10 for each additional person from the same household).  There is no evidence that the unit paid dues to CRA (in violation of Section 4.03).

What does it say about the character of someone who sought to rely on a string of fraud similar to the above in order to gain political power?
