Madeleine DeWar, Bexar County Democratic Party Executive Director, & State Democratic Executive Committeewoman For Senate District 26 Issues Statement About "The Republicrat."
“Scuttlebutt”, “certain party activists”, “one of the Democratic organizations”, “leaking out from the political grapevine”, “I am informed.”
Amazing group of words and phrases….Is this a political commentary from a supposed moderate or a gossip column? Actually it really reminds me of the National Enquirer and is on par with that rag.
Who is complaining? What Democratic organization? What money is being hidden?
I know of one case where a volunteer had seen a large check put in the donation jar during the campaign and said she didn’t see that check being deposited. What she didn’t realize is that that check was in a deposit with other monies, but correctly listed on the deposit receipt.
I showed it to her along with the copy of the specific check which Fernando keeps. That’s how rumors start. If there is a problem come to the person you perceive as a problem and verify or discredit the problem; and, if there is a problem try to work it out.
Yes, I have taken over operation of party headquarters. That is the job of the Executive Director. But that is not the party. The party is run by the CEC and Carla. All I do is see to it the office is open and that the day to day operations are taken care of.
Run off what volunteers? There was only one volunteer when I got here and she went to work on Ciro’s campaign. I sent out a call for help this week on Monday evening. I had 2 volunteers on Tuesday afternoon, 6 on both Wednesday and Thursday and 3 on Friday. Additionally I had other folks who said they couldn’t help this time, but please let them know in the future.
Only the Republicrat seems to being having a problem. This is a man with an agenda and that agenda is to discredit the Bexar County Democratic Party Chair and the Bexar County Democratic Party.
Carla has been, is and will be an excellent representative of our party. She puts in long hours, both at the headquarters and attending all the functions expected of the party chair. She does this while working her regular fulltime job and without remuneration.
And in case someone isn’t aware of it, I am also a fulltime volunteer. I do not receive any money and I told Carla right from the start that I will not accept any pay in the future even if it is available. In that case we will hire a staff person, not pay me.
Lastly, if Diane Stallings wants to take over control of the party why did she just resign as Deputy Chair and from her committees? If she indeed was plotting like he says, she would hang in there no matter what else was going on in her life.
Maybe its time for the Republicrat to go back into the woodwork where he belongs or to start volunteering for the party and doing something positive for a change. Some people take pleasure from gossiping and complaining, but don’t do anything constructive to try to change the supposed problems. Usually these are people who never really do any of the “work” of the party.
They just get off attending all the functions and having their picture taken with local celebrities.
You need to get your facts straight Republicrat. Try coming to our Braggin’ Breakfast next Saturday and see the party at work. We will be honoring 12 living and 2 deceased party activists who have proven their loyalty and hard work for 30+ years each. Two of them have given more than 60 years each.
Peace, Love and Serenity,
Madeleine Dewar
