Blanche Darley is at it again...

And email was sent out to the membership of the Tejano Democrats that said, "In lie of the March Meeting, please take not that the site has been moved, only for this special presentation..."

The announcement goes on to say, "The Tejano Democrats Paso del Norte wil host and sponsor a presentation, along with the El Paso Democratic Party on March 27th, 2012 on organizing the Hispanic Vote for the General elections and beyond."

Certainly a great idea and its easy to see why that is an important presentation.

Two problems.

#1 - There was never a vote for the El Paso Democratic Party to sponsor the event. I guess she just decided that was going to happen. Darley seems to ignore rules unless they are in her favor.

but problem number 2 is more problematic for her.

At the end of the announcement there is a blurb at the end that says, "This special presentation is only for the Tejano Democrat members and credentialed precinct chairs, NO EXCEPTIONS. Media must contact Blanche Darley, Chair TDPDN...for Media Credentials." 


That leads to problem

#2 - If the meeting is co-sponsored by the El Paso Democratic Party, Blanche Darley is not authorized to restrict attendance to Tejano Democrats or credentialed precinct chairs. In fact, no one has that authority. According to the rules set out by the TDP, the Texas Democratic Party Rules state:

"B. General Rules 1. At all times and at all levels of the Democratic Party, no secret ballots shall be used, no fees shall be charged for voting, and the meetings shall be open."

So bottom line is, if the event is co-sponsored by the El Paso Democratic Party, any Democrat can attend the presentation. Which, makes sense because who in their right mind would want to horde valuable information that would benefit the entire Democratic Party?


At what point to people in the Party stop accommodating her actions and agenda?
