Parliamentary Procedure Republican Style: Video Presentation by Louis “Butch” Davis with Powerpoint and downloadable Cheat Sheet
Butch is an extraordinary Parliamentarian. He is the one we all work to send to the Republican National Convention because of his expertise and his conservatism!

Butch is also the one who alerted everyone to the machinations of Romney’s campaign to control the delegates the States elect to go to the RNC so we could mitigate the worst of it in Tampa.
