As we slide and squiggle and slide back in time, all blind-wormey-like, to an era where rights we up-t- recently took for granted were still being fought for and forged some,

Ezra from Aardvark offers this preview of the “upcoming” Republican National Convention, due to take place June 16, 1908
in Chicago, just in time for further highly illegal deployment of the largely privately-contracted Sturmtrumpen. 

For Sale:  Official Order of Business of the Republican National Convention, June 16, 1908, Chicago.


The upcoming convention will be held over four days at the Chicago Coliseum, primarily for the purpose
of nominating a potential successor to President Theodore Roosevelt, and Vice President Charles Fairbanks.
The proposed platform for the convention includes:

	1) A buildup of the armed forces
	2) Protection of American citizens abroad
	3) Extension of foreign commerce
	4) The Hague treaties
	5) Support of war veterans
	6) Self-government for Cuba and the Philippines
	7) Citizenship for the residents of Puerto Rico
	8) Extension of rural mail delivery
	9) Upholding the rights of African Americans and the civil service
      10) Greater efficiency in national public health agencies
      11) Court Reform
      12) A revival of the U.S. Merchant Marine
