| Frank Morris |
But, the local party has not been unified. Frank Morris, the longtime Republican County Chair, troubled by challenges to his credentials and alleged violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act, tendered his resignation to State Party Chairman Steve Munisteri on May 14. Subsequently, Cameron County Republican Party Secretary Ida Stacy appointed James Ross to serve as Interim County Chair.
Despite the appointment of an interim chair, Morris reasserted chairmanship of the local party by presiding over a County Republican Party meeting held July 17.

| Tad Hasse |
“I submit my resignation as Cameron County Republican chairman effective immediately. Also I resign from the SREC (State Republican Executive Committee) SD 27 as of this date. If I need to resign on June 16th, I will do so. I also resign as the primary administrator for Cameron County this date. I will close out all vendors’ account requiring my approval. I no longer am authorized to sign any checks on any of the party banking accounts ... notify the new chairman (he) or she will have 30 days to pick up the materials and files of the county party, which is in accordance with our By-Laws. . . . . It's been a great ride. I'm free at last."
In an article published in the Valley Morning Star July 25, Staff Writer Emma Perez-Trevino reports that Frank Morris has countersued Hasse, stating that Hasse's lawsuit is "groundless, in bad faith, brought for the purpose of harassment." Morris seeks a dismissal of the Hasse lawsuit, plus $7,500 in attorney fees, $2,500 for expenses.
In his countersuit, Morris, does not include as evidence his retirement letter noted above, but, instead, uses a second resignation letter sent to Secretary Stacy some eleven hours after the initial letter. In this second letter Morris "resigns" as county chair only for the term ending June 15, 2014. Was Morris having second thoughts about his resignation and trying to spin it as only applicable to the current term? Remember, he did say he was taking his name off the checkbook, "closing out vendor accounts requiring his approval" . . . .and giving the "new chairman 30 days to pick up the materials and files." All of those actions would seem foolish for someone intending on resuming office four weeks later.

Oh my Chris Davis is some how involved in this sorted mess? Thought he would be smarter than to get involved in partisan infighting. Frank doesn't need a knight in shinning armor. He needs to step aside and allow those young Repubs like Patty Garza to take the reigns of leadership.
ReplyDeleteYou likely meant "sordid mess." I will wait for my copy of the Morris lawsuit before commenting on Davis.
DeleteSorry, they didn't teach Patty to spell at her fancy, open admission law school.
DeleteAnonymous, keep in mind that what was given by Chris Davis most likely was requested of his office. As the Elections Administrator he has to comply with certain information requests.
DeleteJim, Morris has to go through all of those motions even if he is resigning for a couple of months until the new term. That is the protocol.
DeleteOCU Law School is a great school. Patty is one smart cookie we'd be fortunate to have her.
DeleteI just saw a report in USNWR and they ranked OCU Law School as a fourth tier law school that ranked just under Appalachian Law School and just above University of Phoenix Law School. No wonder Patty can't spell ”sordid”. I'll bet she has as capability as a lawyer as Mama Adela does in speaking English.
Delete"I'll bet she has as capability as a lawyer as Mama Adela does in speaking English."
DeleteThat's totally incoherent. Stay in school.
^ hahaha. True.
DeleteAll three in photos look like goobers. didn't Hasse have a Blog once - The Merovingian. LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, the putz from Kyle showed up at last! A day late, a dollar short, and as clueless as ever.
DeleteCame in to yell at me from across the street? Pfft! Watch, learn, then choke on your own vomit.

ReplyDeleteKyle: Mr. Garrison, did Mr. Morris resign?
ReplyDeleteGarrison: I don’t know Kyle. Did you ask Mr. Hat?
Kyle: I don’t want to ask Mr. Hat. I am asking you.
Garrison: I really think you should ask Mr. Hat.
Kyle: Mr. Hat…Did Mr. Morris resign?
Mr. Hat: NO!...YOU GO TO HELL!...YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!!!
Kyle: Damnit!
Who the hell is this James Ross guy, and why was he the one appointed as Frank's replacement?
ReplyDeleteJames Ross is an unemployed tool from Dallas like Carlos Quintanilla and Bubby.
DeleteHe is a hard working young kid who does not deserve this bullshit from people like you. If you want to pick on people for not working a day in their life and being proud of it, look at your own cadre of jerks. One of the ringleaders is guilty of that, not James. He is a soldier, he has a business that is thriving, he is trying to help the party grow and establishing a group of motivated Young Republicans with Morgan Graham, and he is a solid asset for the next generation of conservatives inthe valley. Your comment is based on ignorance and hatred, and you should be ashamed. He has worked hard for the party over the years in several state wide campaigns, and despite being deployed soon is still working hard and paying his dues.
DeleteThat "tool from Dallas" is actually from Mexico, and has a long standing history in the valley. I knew his father, and he was a hard working and good man who raised a hard working and good young man. If you have nothing true to say, shut the hell up.
Delete"Over the years" like when and which? He should step aside and let Alex take over.
DeleteWith all the pro-Patty anons coming in, I'm glad some haven't forgotten about Alex Torres. I don't care what you say, Alex has the support of Republicans that matter. A straw poll was taken, and he was in the lead. He isn't just an early frontrunner. He's THE Frontrunner. I think if you asked Patty she'd support Alex.
DeleteRoman, shut up.
Delete"Well, it might have looked like a resignation...but it was really a workshop"
ReplyDeleteJames was NOT appointed chair. Ms Stacy does not have that authority. And you idiots dont know what you are talking about. Educate yourselves before entering false information.
ReplyDeleteIt's very simple. If there was no meeting of the Executive Committee, James was either appointed or he presumptuously assumed the role. Educate yourself about what actually happened, not what you think should have happened.
DeleteUmmmm....heah, those knuckleheads gave you bad info. Sorry Jim. It is not your fault but.....no, he wasn't and he didn't.
DeleteIt is kind of like your cameron County YR information in the Alex Torres post. The info was bad. There is a lot of bad info out there, and people who might be giving it to you believing it is the truth and having the best of intentions are repating misinfo. Sorry Jim, I would not go as far as calling people idiots like the previous commenter, but I would call some of them misinformed. Plus, are you planning on posting at least part of Mr. morris's suit like you did Tad's?
DeleteWhat you stopped short of saying is that the Executive Committee met and selected James Ross as Interim Party Chair. If they didn't, he was appointed(my word choice).
Delete"Plus, are you planning on posting at least part of Mr. morris's suit like you did Tad's?"
DeleteYes, Morgan. Absolutely. The Morris countersuit consists of 35 pages, I'm told. Hopefully, I will have access to it by Monday. What will prove interesting is not just what Morris put into his lawsuit, but what he left out. I promise a few more articles about Morris, at least giving him equal time with Mr. Hasse. Meanwhile Emma Perez-Trevino did a story in the Valley Morning Star dated 7/25/2014. You have to click on the link at the bottom to get the complete story.
^^^C'mon Jim. Post the answer already. You know you have it by now. You just want to protect Ted. This is not Morgan.
DeleteWell, it is obvious that Hasshole has nothing to say. Where is he going to get the $10,000?
DeleteThe question should be: who is he going to drag through a lawsuit to get the 10 to pay Frank Morris. LULZ
DeleteI was kind of thinking the same thing. But James did get appointed to something and exactly who was doing the appointing?
DeleteI repeat. James was not appointed chair. He and Mrs Batterson were called on to be co-protem directors for final answers and decisions on the Republican runoff ONLY. There was no ex meeting. It came at the request of the Elections Administrator thru Ms. Stacy. All otheer rumors are false
ReplyDeleteSo Chris Davis is involved in this too?
DeleteExactly "who" is repeating with such anonymous authority?
DeleteLeave James alone. He is a dedicated young Republican.
DeleteIs that you CD?
DeleteGair. He and Mrs Batterson were called on to be co-protem directors"
ReplyDeleteNow that just seems like it was made up on the fly. "Co-protem Directors"? Where does that fit on an organizational chart.
Just leave him alone. He did what he needed to.
ReplyDeleteHe did what he was supposed to? You mean he whored himself out to Frank. Them in Frank's absence asked Sharon to hold his leash. James is a good doggie. Very well trained.
ReplyDeleteWow. You are a acumbag. That guy has more character in his pinkie nail than you have in your entire body, you are disgusting. You need to go take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why it is that everything you touch, and everything you are a part of, turns to shit.
ReplyDeleteSharon, it looks like the party is going to shit. I know this is hard for you to understand but it's because of Frank and no one else. You, Morgs, Alex and James can deny it all you want, but Frank is ruining our party.
DeleteReally. Because the YR's are kicking ass right now setting up a event with only 5 days notice. All I see you do is complain.
Delete^^^ Sharon outed herself, LULZ!
DeleteNot Sharon. You would know who I am if you actually showed up and participate. I personally have never had a conversation with you, but I am beginning to understand why NO ONE LIKES YOU.
DeleteBoo hoo! Frank and Morgs don't want to be my friends.
DeleteYeah, by nobody it includes a lot more than two people. Rofl
DeleteBoo hoo! Morgan's sock puppets don't like me. Woe is me!
DeleteUh huh....85% tool. And you voted for him too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI finally figure out how those positions that never existed before came into being! Two simple words :Intelligent Design
