Cleveland County Republican Party Officials: David Allen (Chairman), Kevin Whisnant (Vice-Chairman), Robert Queen (Executive Committee member), Ron Humphries (Executive Committee Member), Dennis Bailey (Executive Committee Member, Wes Westmoreland (Executive Committee Member), Guy Smith (Maybe an Executive Committee-a Tim Moore step & fetch-it) and others are the nucleus of the Rogue Republican group that has thrown the Cleveland County School Board as well as the Commissioners 2022 Primary Elections into a scandal of epic proportions. They have thrown the NC Republican Party Plan of Organization rules and regulations, common decency and ethics, and plain old common-sense good manners out the window in their insane support of School Board Chairman Robert “Luke” Queen-a well proven crook and a liar.
Now, GOP Chairman David:” Mr. Dunderhead” Allen has sent out a very foolish email message to certain Cleveland County Republicans that says:
Robert A
Perhaps you have seen a text message recently concerning “GOP Slate for Cleveland County School Board”. As the Cleveland County GOP Party Chair let me say the GOP has no Republican “Slate of Candidates” for the upcoming Primary Election. Any endorsements are the opinion of the person making those endorsements and they are not an official statement by the Party. I encourage voters to examine all candidates closely to determine who represents their interests the best and vote accordingly. Every registered Republican is the GOP Party and I personally want to encourage everyone to go vote and make their voice heard!
Chairman David Allen
Cleveland County Republican Party
Let’s ’s examine the Text message before we comment on Mr. Allen’s phony message. I always like to put up the proof about whatever I write about. Especially when I have it ALL in writing and so easy to include.
As you can clearly see, the text message is Paid for by Robert P. Queen and endorses four candidates of the seven candidates that are running for the school board in the 2022 Cleveland County School Board Primary Elections.
Also, Mr. Robert P. Queen is the Chairman of the Cleveland County School Board and is, according to School Board Policy 7720 the OFFICIAL Spokesperson for the Cleveland County School Board and, according to that Policy 7720 Employee Political Activity is prohibited as follows:
Policy 7720 states (in part)
As specified in policy, the Chairperson of the Cleveland County Board of Education or designee and the Superintendent or designee are the official spokespersons for the school system. Employees, when exercising their rights as citizens, should take steps to ensure that their personal political activities or opinions are not erroneously attributed to the Board or the school system.
So, folks, it has come to this:
1.It is Totally against School Board policy for Chairman Robert “Luke” Queen to be undertaking personnel political activities such as sending out this Robo-Email text message all across Cleveland County.
2.It is totally against the North Carolina Republican Party Plan of Organization (Page 37) for CC Republican Party Executive Committee member Robert “Luke” Queen to make specific endorsements in Republican Party Primary Elections.
3.The NC Republican Party Plan of Organization (Page 37) states that any Republican official or Executive Committee member that endorsed candidates during a Republican Primary Election shall immediately forfeit their office or Executive Committee membership.
4.Cleveland County Republican Party Chairman David Allen, as well as Robert “Luke” Queen have both violated the rules of their office, in multiple incidents and multiple times.
5.David Allen’s email does not speak to Robert Queens violations and forfeiture of Office.
6.David Allen also does not speak to the other Rogue Republicans, such as himself, Kevin Whisnant, Wes Westmoreland and the others noted above as forfeiting their offices in the North Carolina and Cleveland County Republican Party.
So, what do “Regular” Cleveland County Republicans think about all of this?
There has been massive discontent among rank and file Cleveland County Republicans that if the Cleveland County Republican Leaders refuse to follow the rules of the NC Republican Party, it is time to immediately change their Party registration to UNAFFILIATED. Then, communicate with other voters who are registered as Unaffiliated and create a NEW Political Party where rules are rules and everybody will follow the rules. And, more than that. This NEW Political Party will seek official Party status in North Carolina such that their members can file and run for political office just like the Republicans and Democrats WITHOUT having to go through the cumbersome and discouraging Petition Process.
How to do exactly that has just become a high priority on my To Do List. I will find out those details and let everybody know. Especially now that all of Cleveland County knows that the Cleveland County Republican Party leadership is untrustworthy, tainted, liars and do nothings.
BUT, in the mean-time, let’s all of us Regular Republicans and Unaffiliated vote completely opposite of the Rogue Republicans.
