Subject: Request For Action Re: My Appointment to the SDEC
> Dear Members of the TSDC Executive Board:
> In one of her e-mails, Christina Ocasio raised a valid
> concern regarding the bylaw amendment that was
> approved at our March 4 Executive Board meeting and
> which addresses the issue of filling a vacancy on the
> SDEC if either the TSDC President or Vice President
> (or both) accepts a statutory position on the SDEC.
> First, Christina correctly asserts that this Bylaw
> amendment (Article IV, Section 8) that was approved by
> the Executive Board on March 4 has no force and effect
> unless it is approved by a 2/3 vote of Members present
> and voting at a regularly called meeting of the Caucus
> (TSDC). Although a regularly called meeting of the
> TSDC did occur after the Executive Board meeting on
> March 4, this bylaw amendment and others that were
> approved by the Board were not submitted to the
> Members for approval at that meeting. Accordingly,
> this amendment cannot be the basis for Shannon
> appointing me to be his successor as the male
> representative on the SDEC.
> Secondly, and more importantly, even if this bylaw
> amendment had been approved by a 2/3 vote of the TSDC
> membership at a TSDC meeting, it is in conflict with
> Article III, Section (D)(2)(c) of The Rules of the
> Texas Democratic Party, which clearly states that in
> the event that the President or Vice President of any
> organization represented on the SDEC is or becomes a
> statutory member of the SDEC, "the next highest
> ranking officer of the same sex shall be the
> additional member." The TSDC is an official caucus of
> the Texas Democratic Party. As such, it is subject to
> the Texas Democratic Party Rules and the State Party
> Rules trump the TSDC Bylaws if the two are in
> conflict. Accordingly, the person who should succeed
> Shannon as the male representative on the SDEC is
> Jimmy Rocha, the TSDC Secretary, since he is the "next
> highest ranking officer of the same sex" of the TSDC.http://webmail.aol.com/28518/aim/en-us/Mail/PrintMessage.aspx
