On this the 10th day of February in the year of our Lord 2013, we ask:
“O Creator, as we are all born equal with the self-evident rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we gather here and ask Your will be done in all things we do. The Delegates of Convention United States of America appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions. We The People of the United States and of this Convention, in order to do our duty to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, ask that these proceedings be blessed. AMEN”
Thank you, Delegate McCormick. You invocation is preserved in the minutes.
Thank you Mr Chairman
Amen. Thank you for the National Anthem, a lovely invocation and an informative Keynote Address. It's all I hoped it would be. I have no objection to the appointed officers or the appointed chairs of the respective committes of this Convention.
HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE AFOREMENTIONED APPOINTMENTS ARE CONFIRMED.
UNLESS THERE IS A REQUEST FOR RECOGNITION FOR SOME OTHER PURPOSE, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
McCormick TN004 would like to make a motion
DELEGATE McCORMICK IS RECOGNIZED
May I be recognized
I move that the following be referred to the appropriate committee for review and report at the next session:
I believe when the CONVENTION was called by having at least 2/3's f the states represented, which happened just before Day One was called to order, the "quorum" to have a meeting became at least a majority of that 2/3's. That being said, I would like the ConventionUSA to be an “always on” meeting. A minimum frequency for Chairman or proxy monitoring the Convention is every three calendar days to read, post and/or address posts, etc.
Suspended periods for the Convention
The following periods will be recognized as Suspended periods for the Convention meeting. During these periods, business is suspended. For ongoing action, the clock stops and suspends at midnight of the listed days, and business resumes at midnight plus one minute on the day after the last day of the suspension period, unless otherwise noted.
• 48 hours before and after any ConventionUSA live Annual Conference that may be called in the future.
• Thanksgiving Day (Thursday) and the following Friday.
• December 24 and 25.
• December 31 and January 1
• All other federally-recognized one-day holidays (such as Labor Day,
Memorial Day, President’s Day, The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Day, Veteran’s Day, Columbus Day, etc).
This way we would not be restricted to just one night and input could be on everyone's schedule. A Quorum Call could be done periodically to weed out delegates that do not participate and/or did not resign. Miss 3 in a row and they would be removed.
I need someone to second this proposed motion
IF THERE IS NO OFFER TO SUPPORT DELEGATE McCORMICK'S MOTION BY 9:51, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED LAPSED, AND THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
I second this motion for discussion.
I second the motion
