Future Uniters not Dividers in Action
This is pretty funny:

BOSTON (Talon News) -- The Young Republicans convention broke down into shouting and some physical contact on Friday as delegates for opposing tickets clashed over amendments being considered by the Young Republican National Federation's (YRNF) Constitution and By-Laws Committee.

Such amendments would realign the YRNF's administrative regions to match those of the RNC, easing cooperation between the two organizations. The change would also provide legitimacy to the ticket of Mike Flory and DeAnna Brangers. Currently, Brangers would be ineligible to serve with Flory as his co-chairman under the YRNF's existing regional divisions.

This has created tensions between pro-Flory delegates and the acting Convention Chairman John Birmingham of Ohio, who is also the campaign manager for Michael Mack, Mike Flory's opponent in the race for YRNF chairman.

The conflict became apparent at the first convention business meeting held on Friday morning, during which the chairman oversaw a brief reading of the report of the Committee on Rules and moved quickly to adjourn for lunch. As Birmingham called for adjournment, several delegates shouted concerns that the decision to close the meeting had been made in a manner that was inconsistent with Robert's Rules of Order, the YRNF convention standard. They were told that their comments were out of order, and the meeting was dissolved.
