DELEGATE KOSAKOWSKI: I rise on a point of

2

personal privilege.

3

THE PRESIDENT: State the privilege.

DELEGATE KOSAKOWSKI: Mr. President and

5

delegates of this Convention: I see something happening

6

here that many delegates have accused members of the

7

legislature of employing tactics. Delegate Pullen arose

8

and tried to ask the question, and as, according to the

9

rules, passed by this honorable body, and we are supposed

10

to have been living by the rules, and in the past I have seen

11

you — with your kindness, Mr. President — go beyond

12

the rules , and give everyone an opportunity to be heard

13

and now I see the old steamroller being applied, and that

14

is all that it is.

15

Mr. President, this is a Convention, and we

16

did set the rules, and I don't believe that anyone here

17

is deliberately bringing amendments to try to delay this

18

Convention. I believe that any amendment placed now on

19

second reading is sincere, but those who are proposing

20

these amendments -- Mr. President, in fairness, five

21

more minutes or ten more minutes of your time is all that
