I'd have assumed that the limit for overture submission was at least 5 weeks ago.<br><br>Is there some way to get an overture added to a convention without going through the floor committees?<br><br>I would appreciate any info that I can add to http://LCMSpolitics.org<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Norm FisherNorm Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07220025001891466475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867177699028333340.post-79288456530157896772009-02-14T07:42:00.000-06:002009-02-14T07:42:00.000-06:00Standard Roberts Rules of Order.

Go to the mic, request to be recognized, introduce your overture, get a 2nd (be sure you have plenty of pre-arranged support for the 2nd and discussion prior to your action), discuss, vote.

It also doesn't hurt to have a DP who is favorable to the cause.revmlkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13000070707671391383noreply@blogger.com
