For more than an hour, delegates at the state Republican Party convention debated the way they should send and receive information, as well as the finer points of parliamentary procedure.
The delegates were debating a proposal that would allow members to receive information via e-mail, instead of through the postal system, if they so desire, Kevin Kiley reports.
The delegation got bogged down in amendments to clarify the proposal's language (including the necessity of requiring first class mail), at times making amendments to amendments to the initial proposal, and amendments to a motion to send the proposal back to committee to reconsider.
By the end of debate, members were noticeably frustrated by the procedural rules, as well as the time it took to vote on the amendment. When it was over, they cheered.
The amendment eventually passed, and will allow members to receive notification by means other than post, but did not specify how, which one delegate pointed out would allow members to receive information by personal courier.

Re: Tom Fetzer?
Protzman's comment is the basic response that proves not only does he have nothing positive to say. That Protzman is devoid of the same core principles of fair and responsible people in North Carolina share.
We the NCGOP decided who our Chairmana and Vice-Chairman are and united behind that choice. We did not let our party leader decide who the next leaders would be.
Also I would like to introduce a new face to NCGOP politics. A 24 year old Appalachian State graduate and small business owner with his family. His name is Tommy Adams and he is the new NCGOP Assistant Secretary.
I would like to compliment every activist in creating a organization of longtime dedicated Republicans with the fresh bold ideas of the new.
The Democrats seemed to me to vote NO on every Republican amendment in the legislature to control state spending. The Democrats voted no and now become the party of NO in North Carolina. The fact that the Democrats prevented a amendment to the state budget that prevents state agencies from spending their remaining money at the last moment to prevent them from having any left over. This proves the statement that if you do not spend it you won't get it that money next year is proof that the Democratic Party leaders do not wish to reign in waste and out of control spending in state government. If the agency needs the money then spend it as needed, do not hoard the money and spend it on something NOT needed. That is the taxpayer's money, not yours.
