    No. The sound you hear are the lawyers in Minnesota being hired, then adding up their fees and finding out they can take that vacation to Aruba.

    The American Independent Party (California) could
    used more detail information of which manual(s)of
    proceedures they used in Minnesota GOP for trials.
    AIP uses Demeter’s Blue Book and McConnell’s Roberts Rules of Order, 2nd Edition. Does anyone
    know if they have transcripts of these internal trials?

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American
