Attention readers: To fully understand what is going on here you have to go back and read the article, CA GOP’S Stunning Proposals for Change, dated 5 August, proposed changes to the party planks for the 2012 election.

I have received many emails asking who voted to send a draft platform that eliminates several conservative planks. Here is your answer. Below is the list of elected drafting platform committee members present at the meeting. Only two, myself and the Honorable Craig DeLuz. Voted against the neutered draft and in favor of amendments that restored deleted sections. Don’t be fooled the first vote was to send the draft to the full committee that had no language on marriage, guns, and a vague one on life. That is the official draft. The rest are “suggestions”.
Those listed below voted against those amendments or were silent during the voting. This attendance list is from the CRP.
Hector Barajas
Claudia Bermudez
Rob Bernosky
Hon.Bill Berryhill
Greg Conlon
Paul Cummings
Jim DiSanto
Margaret Dominici
Jim Faison
Gregory Grandrud
Doris Gentry
Ryan Hatcher
Eric Hickok
Dr. Marvin Jones
Morgan Kelley
Virginia Kiraly
Leonard Lanzi
Hon.Jim Nielsen
Michael Osborn
Laura Peter
Dana Reed
Brad Torgan
Ryan Trabucco
Dan Trimble
Hon. Abram Wilson
Note: Since this vote was taken the Hon.Jim Nielsen was contact and he has flatly disavowed any support whatsoever for any attempt at liberalizing the party planks.
