Okay.

That really bothered me too.

As a, as being a first timer, yeah, I, I, I thought that that was a, an extra wrinkle that we didn't really need.

We were really short on time for all these resolutions.

We should've just gone, gone with a straight, you know, yes for adoption, no for adoption.

And the, the...

It, it, it's kind of skewed the, the vote I think too.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

It was to push the time and to separate the appeals of executive council decisions apart from the committee on appeals appeals, you know? So that, that was really important.

I think that was a win.

The, the point of it was to make sure that in...

You know, and this, this hopefully becomes practice, that we, you know, we can do it this way, you know? And I'm glad to see that the, that the membership agreed with that.

And maybe in future they'll allow it.

Now, I'm not saying, you know, we're gonna...

Uh

it's still the same process and the same voters who railroaded you would have to suddenly turn around against the loyalty that they just demonstrated and go against the person they were being loyal to, and that's almost impossible.

It's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

And that's, and that's, but, but you have to accept that you're not going to win on the branch level.

I mean, look, and full disclosure, and I don't, I don't mind saying this.

I told my branch president that I wasn't going to win in the branch, that this was going to have to head the committee on appeals with regards to my election appeals.

I told him that I don't expect the win in the branch.

If it becomes clear at the convention, this will come up on Wednesday, that he is not running for reelection, that he's going to be out at the end of this term, are you still going to go forward with your appeals?

Um, if we need to go back to Michael still, we can, but that connection was not great.

I can go ahead and just give my little pitch on it here.

Go ahead, brother.

Yeah.

Uh, they, uh...

Look, so we...

These resolutions that I presented, they're, they're not just about restoring...

Well, they are.
