Shawn Steel Supports RPLAC Chair Barnett and Blasts Republican Liberty Caucus
By Allen Wilson | 07/02/09 | 11:45 AM EDT | 19 Comments
The California Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC), under the leadership of Chairman Matthew Heath, has decided to tarnish the organization's reputation by picking sides in an "internal" dispute of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County by supporting Robert Vaughn over Jane Barnett for the office of Chairman of RPLAC.
Robert Vaughn, formerly 2nd Vice Chair of RPLAC, and his group of imposters are hijacking the fortunes of over One Million registered Republicans in Los Angeles County by proclaiming a shadow RPLAC group. Their group is not recognized by the California Republican Party nor by other Republican activists within Los Angeles County and throughout California.
The actions by Mr. Vaughn and his gang amounts to child's play and temper tantrums by not accepting the will of the RPLAC Central Committee's May 14th decision to wipe the slate clean by holding new elections and installing new leaders with seasoned experience to turn around the Los Angeles County GOP.
In all fairness, Mr. Vaughn did not even bother to contest Jane Barnett for the RPLAC position of Chairman at the May 14th election meeting in Van Nuys. He decided instead to run for 2nd Vice Chair position again, but was resoundingly defeated by 54th ADRCC Member John Cozza.
Now, I have just received an e-mail communication from Shawn Steel, California Committeeman on the Republican National Committee, in which he blasts RLC Chairman Matt Heath with a strong message and has withdrawn from the RLC:
July 1, 2009
Matt Heath
Chairman
California Republican Liberty Caucus
Dear Mr. Heath:
Because I take strong exception of the RLC “weighing” in the internal dispute in the Republican Party of Los Angeles County [RPLAC], I find it is necessary to remove my name and support from the Republican Liberty Caucus.
Jane Barnett and her team are the sole and legitimate elected leaders for RPLAC. Any other persons claiming to“lead” RPLAC are imposters. Should a non-legitimate group attempt to use RPLAC’s name, image and imprimatur, such action, I am sure, will generate legal action for a restraining order and money sanctions.
Shawn Steel
Therefore, it would be wise for Mr. Vaughn and his cohorts to pick up their marbles and find another sandbox to play in, because Republicans in Los Angeles County demand leaders with maturity and wisdom to successfully defeat Democrats.

This guy is a joke. Keep in mind he feels that the USA should not back the Jewish State in their fight for their own freedom.
Also his supporters get quite loud and confrontational when probed about what ACTUALLY transpired at the RPLAC meeting May. I emailed him about it and his response is as follows......
"Unfortunately in all things political, passions run to high for some, but there
needs to be balance.
Thank you for your concerns
Robert Vaughn"
What?
Also in this email he accepts that he is not the RPLAC chairman, by saying that RPLAC sent out an invite. Keep in mind he did not approve of the message nor did he send out.
As forementioned, this guy is a joke.
Lastly, I voted for Ron Paul last year as it was my first time to vote and he is giving him a bad name.

|Thank you Mr. Steele. We need more leaders like you...

|Only in partisan politics can we see such tomfoolery. While conservative values and free market principles are being dissolved in the country in the name of bigger government, a group of childish, self absorbed narcissists feel compelled to wage an absurd power play for their own self importance. I could care less who is the "official" leaders of RPLAC, I can clearly see who has earned it. Jane Barnett and her Executive Committee continue to adminster in a professional manner. They remain focused to our ideals of free market principles and smaller government. Mr. Vaughn and your group of merry men and women should wreak havoc elsewhere. RPLAC and all the county central committees have serious business at hand...the peoples' business...and protection of our children and grandchildren's future. We do not have the time for this...we have much larger fish to fry.

|The RLC executive board decided to piss in CRP's cornflakes, so they should not be surprised that the CRP is now pissed. But the executive board is not the membership. The vast majority of RLC-CA members were unaware of this issue until the resolution vote landed in their newletters. The board needs to be removed while there are still bridges to the party left unburnt. Otherwise the RLC will die in isolation.

|The Republican Liberty Caucus of California is a volunteer Republican organization, and as Republicans we all repect and follow the rule of law; especially when it comes to Republican Party business. If we Republicans do not prescribe to the laws of our own party governance, how do we expect the masses to trust the Republican Party with the governance of our state and country.
On May 14th, 2009, an election was held for a new executive board for RPLAC. This election is invalid, because, it explicitedly violated RPLAC's own bylaws. I would hope that CRP leadership would have great concern over such blatant disregard of the rule of law.
If we, Republicans, want to once again govern our state and country with pride and respect, we must set the example and follow the rule of law.
Below you will find a copy of the RLC CA press release.

|I was under the impression that we Republicans respect and follow the rule of law. The dispute has nothing to do with personalities, but over the rule of law. As a member of the RLC CA living in northern California, I have no business in deciding who chairs LA's central committee. But as registerd California Republicans, we all have business with reguards to the rule of law within the Californian Republican Party.
The author claims this is only an interal dispute, and this is wrong. Allow me to inform the readers that the RPLAC Chairman, is a member of the CRP County Chairman's Committee and also appoints a large number of voting delegates to the CRP state conventions. So therefore, this is state business.
If a delegate appointed by an illegal chairman votes at a CRP state convention, then all the CRP buisness that was voted on by delegates will become invalid.
It is the duty of the Calfornian Republican Party to repect the rule of law and especally when it is offical CRP business being brought to the general assembly of the delegates for a vote.

|Allen Wilson - You may want to disclose the fact that Jane Barnett has illegally appointed you "Regional Vice-Chair".
You also may want to disclose that your AD has received a $1000 contribution from Linda and Doug Boyd.
But, hey, what's integrity anyways?
A little birdy also told me that Chairman Vaughn was advised to file a grievance with the CRP Rules committee. The same CRP Rules committee of which Mike Osborn is the chair. The same Mike Osborn that lied to the entire committee about being a certified parliamentarian, and allowed an illegal motion to be presented. The same illegal vacate the chair motion that he used to become chairman a few years back.
Conflicts of interest, state party deceit...it's allright cause it's all white.
Hey, ho, Osborn got to go! And any other CRP member that wants to step up into the firing line, feel free. It's corrupt politican, RINO hunting season, and we're all out of bubble gum.

|Shawn takes strong exception of weighing in on internal county party matters, but he's gonna weigh in anyways.
"I haven't heard the two audio tapes, not talked with Robert Vaughn and the other legitamate board members, haven't read the opinion, haven't addressed Mike Osborn lying about his creditials, didn't realize an emergency session of the CRP rules committee would be chaired by the very guy who's singlehandedly destroyed any notion of state party credibility, but I'm gonna say these guys are imposters and side with my good buddy Jane, of who I am financially sponsoring her next illegal fundraiser this month."
Did I mention my name is Shawn Steel? Shawn Steel at shawn steel dot shawn steel . 1-800-IAM-STEEL No longer an RLC advisor after years of being such I might add, thank you.

|Rule of law should not be used as an excuse to pick sides in internal RPLAC dispute.

|Are you implying that if it's personal then Republicans like you shouldn't follow the rules?
- reply
|The CRP is disgusted with the fact that the Republican Liberty Caucus has involved itself in this dispute.
The CRP leadership now considers RLCCA to be a rogue (outside the mainstream) Republican group. RLCCA is not a group chartered by the California Republican Party, wich means it does not that have the right to use Republican in its name. You will most likely hear more about that.

|At the close of the Constitional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results, and as Benjamin Frankin emerged from the long task now finished, asked him directly: "Well doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" "A republic if you can keept it" responded Frankin.
With their support of the May 19th measures, hasn't the state CRP done enough to drive people from the party. Now they are interfering with LA County and threatening Republican organizations. Does the word Republican derive from Republic?

|in my first response i articulated that mr vaughn admitted in an email that he was not RPLAC chair. i think that pretty much sums it up.
he also has a 909 cell, i would call and ask him to clarify, but i have a LA COUNTY CELL PHONE PLAN WHICH DOESNT COVER OUTSIDE OF LA COUNTY
also, kinda weird mr vaughn not only didnt invite everyone to his meeting last month, but he also set up his fake board. I wish i was invited to a former (L) party. if i was i would have abstained from showering for 6 days and foregone the usage of normal deordorizing methods.
