Big day, maybe. Dave Biddulph sent me an article about Dr. Coburn in which he stated that he now intends to devote himself to Article V. He’s quoted as wanting to promote “the Convention of States.” Hopefully this does not refer to our rival organization. When I read it I called Dave and told him we should offer Coburn the chairmanship of our organization. This is a title, not a position. We’d continue to operate as we do now. Coburn would be our spokesman. Dave agreed, but wants a D co-chair. Fine. That would be great, although I would be prepared to go without one.
So I called our OK sponsor, Rep.Gary Banz, and laid it out. He agrees. There are two State Senators who are former Coburn staffers. We’ll go through them. Coburn’s appearance before the caucus was put off. They had to elect a new Speaker this morning. With that done, they’ll work on getting Coburn back to the caucus.
Among the knowledgeable right, Dr. Coburn is a hero. He would give us instant credibility. $ would flow. Having him appear before the Judiciary Committee of the Utah House would get us votes. He’s that respected.
Once we find a D to co-chair, we should have a big presser in D. C. Invite all the state sponsors. (And use it as a recruiting tool for sponsors in ND, WY, and MT.) Coburn can easily get on Hannity, Levin, even Limbaugh. A huge momentum lift.
Until we get a response from Coburn I’ll be on pins and needles. It’s that big.
I’ve been frustrated at our lack of support. Dr. Coburn would end all that.
I just wish I could make the pitch to him.
