Russian Roulette Pt 4 – Cumberland County Chair Equates Unlawfully Ousted Republican Committeemembers To Antifa And Cancer

Posted on by Joshua Prince, Esq.

Over the past week, I wrote three articles – Russian Roulette – The Death Of The PA Republican Party By Its Own Hand, Russian Roulette Pt 2 – A Coalition of Patriot Groups Takes Action While County GOPs Put 5 Rounds in the Revolver And Begin To Pull The Trigger, and Russian Roulette Pt 3 – Inaction Results In PA County GOPs Suiciding The PA GOP – regarding numerous PA county GOPs that have been investigating committeemembers, holding hearings, and removing duly elected committeemembers simply because those committeemembers supported unendorsed Republican candidates or refused to support an endorsed candidate. Even though these committeemembers are the workhorses of the Party every election cycle, a number of county GOPs see them as a threat because they didn’t rollover and just support whomever the establishment decided would be the anointed…err…endorsed one.

As I reviewed in my third article that was posted on Sunday, Cumberland County Chairman Lou Capozzi, in the absence of any legal authority, “suspended indefinitely” seven members, “permanently removed” one member and suspended another member until the November election. Beyond the fact, as I’ve reviewed in my prior articles, that a county cannot have a bylaw provision allowing for removal of committeemembers for supporting a Republican candidate – regardless of endorsed status – in the primary, last year when a proposed bylaw amendment was offered to purportedly provide for removal in such occasion, the proposal was defeated.

And then late last night, I became aware of the following text message by Chairman Capozzi, wherein he equates the ousted members and their supporters to “Antifa” and refers to them as “intolerant” and a “cancer,” while in the same breath contending that he, and those like him, are “the adults in the room…” You literally cannot make this stuff up, folks…

Given that these actions are not only unsupportable under the law and the State Republican Bylaws but go against the purpose of the direct primary system and our Republic ideals, I truly hope our statewide judicial candidates will decline to attend Chairman Capozzi’s meet-and-greet at his home and will issue statements condemning the action taken.

In further developments, I have become aware, through numerous sources, of Chairman Tabas scheduling a call with all GOP county Chairs for tomorrow, which has also now been reported on by HBG100. I am truly hopeful that Chairman Tabas intends, during the call, to take action by telling those county GOPs that have removed members or started scheduling hearings to immediately cease and desist such practice and to immediately reinstate any removed members, since that is the only way to begin to unite our Party in advance of the November election.

With our 2nd Amendment rights being attacked at both the Federal and State level, and the ATF (Burea of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) trying to close down FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees) for minor infractions while making FFLs the scapegoat when the ATF's records are inaccurate, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am one of only a handful of attorneys across the US that practices in the niche area of law known as firearms law. I decided to concentrate my legal practice on firearms law not only because I am a shooter and firearms enthusiast, but also to ensure that our inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms is never encroached upon. I handle cases at the Federal and State level for both FFLs and individuals. At the federal and state levels for individuals, I actively defend the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution and Section 21 of the PA Constitution, as well as, help individuals with: - License to Carry Firearms Denials; - Challenges to Erroneous PICS Denials; - Relief from Firearms Disabilities; - Estate Planning Advice; - Gun/NFA Trusts; and - 42 USC 1983 Actions for Deprivation of Civil Rights At both the state and federal levels, I represent FFLs and SOTs throughout Pennsylvania and the US regarding: - ATF Compliance Inspections; - Warning Letters and Hearings; - FFL Revocations; - Corporate Structure Advice - Indoor/Outdoor Range Implementation; and - Forfeiture Proceedings In following my love for firearms and firearms law, I have taught several Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars on Firearms in Estates and Trusts and Firearms Law 101 for several Bar Associations, including Berks, Cumberland, and Dauphin Counties. I also planned and taught several Firearms in Estates CLE classes for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI). While at Widener Law School, I was a member of the Widener Law Journal. I wrote an article on the Inaccuracy of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). I also had an article published on Fee Disputes in Workers Compensation cases in the Widener Law Journal, Volume 18, No. 2. You can often find me posting on several internet forums, including Subguns, Uzitalk, AR15, and PAFOA. I also hold PA Firearms Law classes for local ranges to inform the public on the firearm laws of the Commonwealth. Following in my father's footsteps, I am also a Board member for the Pottstown Police Athletic League (PAL).
