Republican Party Begins Sanitizing Itself | Eastern NC Now
Updates to the State Plan of Organization should bring needed change to the local Party.
Republican Party Begins Sanitizing Itself
BY: HOOD RICHARDSON
For those who have suffered through my articles complaining about the leadership of the Beaufort County Republican Party, it seems the same corrupt practices have caught the eye of the State Republican Party. At the State Convention held in Greensboro during the middle part of June a multitude of issues were addressed in the State Plan of Organization. This effort is important in addressing corrupt conditions in Beaufort County because the Beaufort County Plan of Organization must be in conformity with the State Plan. The County can be different in many ways, but it cannot be in conflict with the regulations in the State Plan.
Changes are broad and far reaching. There is a three-page summary of changes that references 48 changes, some are entire chapters. There is more detail in an 8-page report titled “Summary of Changes in the 2026 Committee Report Draft Plan”. Also, there is a 48 page “Plan of Organization Committee Report”. The 48-page report is a draft of the final plan that will be approved, probably by the State Executive Committee. This committee has several hundred members representing almost every county in the state.
My casual read of these documents tells me the Republican Party is putting in writing how provisions of the Plan of Organization are supposed to work. With the decline in education and the failure of the education system to teach students the meaning of democracy, fair play and Christian ethics, many recent leaders have applied a literal (and selfish) interpretation (reading) of the Plan of Organization that fits their liberal agenda. Consequently, many County Parties have drifted toward dictatorships. The most glaring example is County Chairmen have ignored Executive Committees because the Plan did not specifically say each item they do is under the supervision and approval of their Executive Committee. This issue was historically (I have been doing this for 30 years) handled with the phrase “with the consent and approval of the Executive Committee” in the paragraph describing the duties of the Chairman. Because directions requiring the approval of the Executive Committee were not attached to each of their other responsibilities as Chairman, Executive Committees were ignored. There is and has been a lot of secrecy within the leadership of the Beaufort County Republican Party. This issue is clearly corrected in the new plan.
One example of corrupt practices in Beaufort County is the appointment of the secret “Victory Committee”. This committee has attacked conservative Republicans, spent money without the approval of the Executive Committee, and ran secret campaigns for and against Republicans. It took considerable public pressure to get Queen Garris to identify the members of this committee. They were identified during the Spring of this year. The admitted members are Carolyn Garris, Ashley Woolard, Steve Rader, Paul Varcoe, and Keith Kidwell. Greg Dority is identified as a consultant. Dority has a checkered background, having entered campaigns to split conservative votes. There are a few other collaborators who are in hiding.
Beaufort County votes almost two thirds conservative (MAGA) Republican. The Victory Committee represents themselves as conservative Republican. However, they have campaigned against conservative Republicans and for RINOs. They campaigned against conservatives: Stacy Davis (school board), Tex Melton (city council), Sheri Clark (city council), Hood Richardson (commissioner), Stan Deatherage (commissioner), Travis Martin (commissioner), Tandy Dunn (commissioner), etc. They campaigned for RINOs: Fake Frankie Waters (commissioner), Randy Walker (commissioner), Carolyn Walker (school board), Daniel Hudson (school board), John Rebholz (commissioner), Ashley Woolard (commissioner), Wiley Woolard (city council), John Edwards (commissioner), etc.
They allowed Fake Frankie Waters to donate money to Democrats while sitting on the Republican Executive Committee while Queen Garris filed charges of disloyalty against conservative Republican Tandy Dunn for picking up his wife at a Democrat fundraiser held for her relative. Fake Frankie is still on the Republican Executive Committee. Tandy Dunn won his case.
Queen Garris has tried every trick in her unethical book to get me removed from the Executive Committee. This includes declaring me not to be an ex officio member and declaring that I have automatically resigned from the Republican Party. All lies! None of this worked so she filed false charges against me for sexual harassment and stalking. That trial was a hoot. Her complaint in front of the judge was that I attended meetings and asked questions. It took the judge about six seconds to make a decision.
None of these corrupt practices would have come into being had the Plan of Organization been followed as intended by the framers. The absences of Christian ethics, fair play and common decency allow the liberals and even communists to have their way in government. Our school system is a disaster because the Republican Party has supported liberals and people who are communists and are so ignorant they do not know that they are communists. Taxes in the City of Washington are through the roof because the Beaufort County Republican Party defeated two conservatives which opened the door for two liberal Democrats to be seated on the council. The Republican Party supports the arrangement between the two Republicans on the County Commission to vote with the two Democrats. Taxes and spending are raised every year.
I am hopeful that a cleaned up, honest and ethical Republican Party will provide candidates who are conservative and will reduce spending and taxes. Property taxes are sky high. Many people will lose their property should there be a downturn in the economy.
Unless we return to the democratic principles of the Republican Party we are headed toward a political dictatorship. The Executive Committee has to regain control, start vetting candidates, root out the secrecy and return us to Christian ethics.

The problem we have here is illustrated in an old joke. Someone asks a friend if he/she knows the difference between ignorance and apathy? The friend's response is, No and I don't care.
This is where we are. The process for voting is very simple. Register to vote and when election day(s) roll around on the calendar, one finds his/her polling locations and shows up to vote. After the preliminaries of identifying yourself, you are handed a ballot with federal, state, and/or local candidates for elective office. Panic ensues. The voter is only aware of two or three candidates they planned to vote for, most likely a president, governor, or county commissioner. They look at the ballot and see there are 15-25 offices they are allowed to vote for. They do not know what these offices do and they do not know any of the names on the ballot. They have two options. Only vote for the candidates and offices they came to vote for or vote every office on the ballot. |

Its my belief that the complexities of Govt has outgrown the ability of most human brains to manage. Either that, or they are just too lazy to think about these things for more than 2 minutes. Its EVERYWHERE.
Too many times we have asked a City Council member a question and their response has been, "I dont know, I'll have to ask the City Manager." |

SD: The real problem is the people that have surrounded Trump; he knows it's a trap and it's a trap he's got to exit carefully or he'll get caught in the vacuum they created.
I'm well aware that he knows who these people are, he's been around them all the time in Manhattan. The other problem is that some, not all, Republicans shy away from this topic of who and what surrounds President Trump; the source of the problem and many problems for centuries. |

The high cost of medical care and health insurance goes directly back to the flood of illegal alien parasites the Biden regime allowed into the country. Under federal law, hospitals cannot turn away anyone, including illegal aliens from Emergency Rooms, so that is where illegal alien deadbeats go for "free" health care. Hospitals absorb this grift by padding the bills of paying patients and their insurance companies to cover their losses on the illegal alien deadbeats. Some hospitals in the southwest have been on the verge of bankruptcy trying to cover this financial drain. It is hurting all hospitals.
That law needs to be changed so that hospitals are not required to give routine health care to people who are illegally in the couuntry. They ought to have to raise charitable funds to run a charity ward, not bill it to paying patients and their insurance companies. Genuine acute emergencies like a car accident or heart attack maybe should be different, but illegal aliens should not be getting routine care at the expense of paying American patients as is happening now. |

John Valley and Roadkill: The Democratic Socialist party will be finished in a couple of decades or less, and the RINOs much sooner.
Governing is not all that difficult. We just need strong hearted men and women, who can think well above what is average, and do math well well enough to get the job done, a job that does take a modicum of vision. And John Valley: Mr Trump is doing just fine; he is far wiser and smarter than your current thoughts of him allow you to project here just now. |

Why John Valley? Partly because the media presents all the news as if they were the Anchors calling the plays of a football game. Who's up? Who's down, who made a mistake, who is the hero of the game? Whose fault it is, and on and on and on. Everything in the news seems to be a competition of winners and losers...which changes day to day.
But there is something else, most conservatives believe u cant cheat an honest man, meaning that such a person knows that nothing is free and everything has a cost. If a govt can give you everything, then they can take everything away as well. A half truth is a whole lie. I dont trust anyone anymore. Sadly I worry abt my favorite Commissioners. So far so good, but... they r only human. Will A.I. decide we dont deserve to live. I'd say its debatable. However, I did note that the soccer fans think the USA is wonderful. Its a bright spot in my day. Why distrust Dems? They believe "the ends justify the means!" It shows a lack of integrity. |

As a consumer, I am sick and tired of being abused by commericial enterprises. From Brightspeed to Optimum, to our insurance, to lying commericial advertisers, we humans are just a food trough, that exist to just keep feeding them.
Did u know that Brightspeed has just announced they will be adding abt $6 surcharge to your bill to pay for the copperlines they are installing to grow their business. Why are the consumers being charged for their efforts to grow their business. Govts will grow and tax us for it...but a "business?" I'm fed up with politicians lying directly in our face as well. Do they think of us as just a bunch of cud-chewing cows? They r saying the socialist are just demanding change. I want change too, but am not willing to shoot myself in head to get it. |

Then there's the milk toast Republicans/closet bizarro Neo-Cons who know what's going on and refuse to actually do anything to gain back position on the console; they don't want to lose that kickback or their seat at the Country Club Gala.
Those who know what's going on are very few in number. Nothing is black and white...just different shades of gray.
