村党支部民主推荐大会主持词 篇2

根据街道党工委关于村“两委”换届工作意见安排，今天由党员推荐新一届党支部委员候选人初步人选。首先，针对这次民主推荐我讲一下推荐过程中应注意的几个问题。

一、民主推荐中应注意把握“一人兼”和交叉任职的要求

按照上级要求，要通过换届选举，最大限度地提高村党支部书记、村委会主任“一人兼”和村“两委”成员交叉任职的比例。应当说，最大限度地推行党支部书记和村委会主任“一人兼”，推行村“两委”成员交叉任职，有利于加强党的领导，有利于提高工作效率，有利于减少职数。上级要求，现任村党支部委员都要依法参选村民委员会成员。对这些要求，广大党员特别是现任党支部委员要有一个正确的认识，从工作大局出发，把村党支部书记、村委会主任“一人兼”和村“两委”成员交叉任职真正落到实处。同时，要重视推选优秀妇女党员进村党组织领导班子,提高妇女党员在村党支部班子中的比例。

二、民主推荐中应把握好党组织成员的标准和条件

发展的根本在农村，稳定的关键也在农村。通过村党组织换届选举，真正把那些政策水平高、致富能力强、群众基础好的人推选进村党组织班子，选出一个有战斗力的班子，选出一个团结协调的班子，选出一个精干高效的班子，对进一步巩固党的执政基础，保证农村社会长治久安，全面推进社会主义新农村建设具有重要意义。

按照区委、区政府《关于做好村（居）“两委”换届选举工作的实施意见》规定，大家在推荐党支部委员候选人初步人选时要严格坚持干部德才兼备标准，把“三高三强”人才选进村党支部班子。结合街道实际，具体应坚持以下标准和条件：

1、政治素质高。认真践行科学发展观，模范执行党的路线方针政策，自觉接受上级党委、政府的领导和指导。

2、文化水平高。具有履行岗位职责应有的知识和能力，村党组织书记和村委会主任应当具有较高的文化水平。

3、群众威信

高。品行端正，办事公道，遵纪守法，廉洁奉公，得到多数党员群众

认可。

4、发展能力强。懂经营、善管理，发展思路宽、办法多，带

头致富和带领群众共同致富能力强，有增加村集体经营性收入的本

领。

5、服务能力强。年富力强，热心为村民服务，积极为群众办实

事、解难题。

6、协调能力强。科学运用民主、法律、示范和服务等

方法做群众工作，善于协调各方面关系，妥善化解矛盾，维护农村和

谐稳定。

根据法律法规有关规定，有下列情形之一的，“不宜”提名为村

党支部委员候选人：

1、三年内受过劳动教养等行政处罚的。

2、三年

内受过撤销党内职务以上处分的。

3、三年内因“黄、赌、毒”等违

法行为受到查处的。

4、三年内违反计划生育规定受到处理的。

5、参

与和组织封建迷信活动，信奉、宣扬邪教的。

6、有严重疾病不能履

行职责的。

7、上一届村“两委”成员中，无正当理由累计六个月以

上不参加工作的。

8、因其他原因不宜提名的。

三、民主推荐的几个问题。

1、民主推荐的范围：从本村全体党员中推荐党支部委员候选人

初步人选。按照上级有关要求，我们村要推荐名党支部委员候选

人初步人选。

2、民主推荐结果的运用。这次民主推荐的结果，作为确定党支

部委员候选人的参考和依据，但并不是说谁的推荐票高就确定谁为下

届党支部委员候选人预备人选，下届党支部委员候选人预备人选要综

合考虑“两推”得票、职数设置、交叉兼职、群众基础和党工委考察

等多方面情况，由党工委研究确定。

3、对参加推荐人员提几点要求：一要从大局出发，以对党的事

业和人民群众高度负责的态度，正确行使自己的民主权利。党员行使

自己的民主权利不能为了达到个人的某种目的，而为小团体和个人谋

私利，这是在民主推荐中最起码的要求。要着眼于党的事业兴旺发达,着眼于全体村民的利益和村里各项事业的更快发展。这次民主推荐，要求每一位参加推荐人员按照自己的意愿，从党和人民的利益出发，填好民主推荐票。二要认真负责，不能敷衍了事。换届选举是全村广

大党员干部群众的一件大事。而民主推荐是换届选举的一个重要环

节，我们村下一届村党支部委员候选人要依据这次推荐的结果和群众

推荐的结果确定。因此,要求广大党员要认真对待这次推荐，不能随

随便便，不负责任。要使自己的意愿服从党和人民的意愿，把自己的民主权利真正行使好。

下面，正式进行民主推荐。

大会进行第一项，首先通过监票人和计票人名单。

根据提名、两同志为监票人，、两同志

（计票结束后，填写《民主推荐情况汇总表》）

请稍等，（请示街道党工委后，征求候选人初步人选是否同意做出承诺）

今年换届选举，按照上级要求，为了规范村“两委”换届选举活动，营造风清气正的换届环境，推行党员选举承诺制，要求参选党员在带头遵守换届纪律等方面作出承诺，对任期目标和任期内个人行为作出承诺，不作出承诺的原则上不列为候选人

下面，经党员群众推荐，党工委研究同意，这次党支部候选人是、、、。请候选人签订《党员参加村（居）“两委”换届选举承诺书》和《党支部委员候选人任期目标和任期内个人行为承诺书》。

今天的民主推荐就到这里。下面，由监票人和计票人封存选票并签名后送街道党工委存档；党员参加村“两委”换届选举承诺书会后张贴到公开栏进行公开，接受群众的监督。

提名推荐支部候选人大会上的主持词 篇4

* “We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country.”

* “The reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than they are for those plagued by gang violence in Cleveland, but don’t tell me we can’t uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals.”

* “I know there are differences on same-sex marriage, but surely we can agree that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters deserve to visit the person they love in a hospital and to live lives free of discrimination.” The red meat came in his assault on John McCain.He was more in his face than he often has been, and in a more sustained way.He even painted him as a bit of a wimp: “John McCain likes to say that he’ll follow bin-Laden to the gates of hell — but he won’t even go to the cave where he lives.” But did he succeed in erasing the doubts about him? The polls have showed a stubborn problem for Mr.Obama, in that voters see Mr.McCain as a more plausible commander-in-chief.Mr.Obama made an interesting allusion to that, weaving in an issue — Mr.McCain’s temper — that hurt him in the Republican primaries in 2000 but has been less of a factor so far this year.Mr.Obama put it this way: “If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament, and judgment, to serve as the next commander-in-chief, that’s a debate I’m ready to have.” On the campaign trail, he usually limits his challenge to debating Mr.McCain’s judgment, not his temperament.The presidential debates — the next big opportunity for Mr.Obama to reach millions of listeners — start Sept.26.Between now and then, of course, Mr.McCain will pick his vice president, and his own convention starts in a few days, giving him the chance to crush all too quickly the good vibes and stunning optics from Denver.11:30 p.m.| Clinton’s Statement: Hillary Rodham Clinton just released the following statement: “Barack Obama’s speech tonight laid out his specific, bold solutions and optimistic vision for our nation and our children’s future.“His speech crystallized the clear choice between he and Senator McCain.Four more years of the same failed policies or a leader who can tackle the great challenges we face: revitalizing our economy and restoring our standing in the world.I am proud to support Senator Obama, our next President of the United States and Joe Biden, our next Vice President of the United States.” Yes We Can: Kate Phillips reports from outside Invesco that crowds of people are climbing over barriers as police are closing a gate.People are shouting “Yes we can!” as they break through another part of the fence.11:20 p.m.| Emotion at Invesco: Michael Powell sends this dispatch from Invesco Field: Crouching amid the Tennessee delegation on the floor of the stadium, I noticed him, this tall black man standing behind me.His face was as broad as his shoulders.And as Barack Obama finished his speech, as fireworks shot off and red white and blue confetti fell, tears rolled down his cheeks.What emotions are running barreling through right now? “So much, I see so many things,” replied Keith Norman in a rich baritone.“I see my earliest dreams as a child.I see a man being given a fair chance because of his talent.”

His chest heaves;he is looking at the stage and the Mr.Obama hugging his wife and his two daughters.“I see his faith in God.And I see the hand of God,” he said, “And it makes my heart glad.”

A friend, a barrel chested black man in a black Obama beret comes over and puts his arm around the midsection of Mr.Norman and asks another man to take a picture of them together.Both men are crying and smiling.11 p.m.| Fireworks: Mr.Obama wraps it up at about 46 minutes.Truck-driving, country music is playing as the Michelle Obama and the girls take the stage.The sound of fireworks exploding shook us out of our seats!The Obama and Biden families are gathering on stage with red, white and blue streamers spilling out of the sky.The McCain campaign has already issued its rebuttal.From spokesman Tucker Bounds: “Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama.When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm’s way.The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President.” From outside Media Pavillion Four at the Pepsi Center, a short distance away from Invesco, we can see the fireworks streaming over the stadium, which is lit up like a flying saucer.The fireworks are still exploding, soaring up into the sky, the music an intensifying symphony.The the transcript of Mr.Obama’s speech.10:56 p.m.| King Reference: Now, 45 minutes in, Mr.Obama makes a reference to race — but it is that, a reference when he mentions the “promise that 45 years ago today, brought Americans from every corner of this land to stand together on a Mall in Washington, before Lincoln’s Memorial, and hear a young preacher from Georgia speak of his dream.” 10:55 p.m.| It’s Not Me, It’s You: The McCain campaign has been doing its best to make this election a referendum on Mr.Obama, not a choice between the two of them, and Mr.Obama here is resisting that characterization: “What the nay-sayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me,” he says.“It’s been about you.” Mr.Obama can only hope that is how voters see it.10:50 p.m.| Verb.That’s What’s Happening: Mr.Obama’s speech is full of strong active verbs.“I will end this war in Iraq responsibly, and finish the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan,” he says, not quite describing how he will pursue that goal.“I will also renew the tough, direct diplomacy that can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and curb Russian aggression.”

And this: “I’ve got news for you, John McCain.We all put our country first.”

All the Republican talk about his “celebrity” status hasn’t inhibited his high-wattage smile.10:45 p.m.| National Security: Now, 30 minutes in, he turns to Iraq and terrorism, saying that “while Senator McCain was turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, I stood up and opposed this war, knowing that it would distract us from the real threats we face.”

And this crowd-pleaser: “John McCain likes to say that he’ll follow bin Laden to the Gates of Hell – but he won’t even go to the cave where he lives.”

10:44 p.m.| Responsiblity: Mr.Obama, who has said in the past that black men need take more responsibility for their families, he omits the racial reference here.“Yes, we must provide more ladders to success for young men who fall into lives of crime and despair.But we must also admit that programs alone can’t replace parents;that government can’t turn off the television and make a child do her homework;that fathers must take more responsibility for providing the love and guidance their children need.”

10:37 p.m.| More on the Economy: Addressing the concern that his campaign has been all lofty rhetoric, he now focuses on his economic program: stop tax breaks for corporations;cut taxes for 95 percent of working families;and in 10 years, “end our dependence on oil from the Middle East.” “Washington’s been talking about our oil addiction for the last 30 years, and John McCain has been there for 26 of them.In that time, he’s said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels.And today, we import triple the amount of oil as the day that Senator McCain took office.”

That’s not all Mr.McCain’s fault, of course, but Mr.Obama makes his point.And now, more than 26 minutes into the speech, Mr.Obama has scarcely mentioned the issue that propelled his candidacy in the primaries — the war in Iraq.10:34 p.m.| Workers and the Economy: The speech so far, and we are more than 17 minutes into it, has been focused almost exclusively on workers and the economy and his humble, all-American, family background.“I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree;who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships.”

“I don’t know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine.These are my heroes.Theirs are the stories that shaped me.And it is on their behalf that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as President of the United States.”

From Michael Powell: “Let me explain exactly what I will do, Mr.Obama says.“There you go, there you go,” whispers a man from Kansas.They are now passing out extra size American flags.This is a place awash in red, white and blue, a visible attempt at inoculation against charges that Democrats are not patriotic enough.(Photo: Todd Heisler/The New York Times)10:26 p.m.| He Just Doesn’t Know: Mr.Obama uses the McCain campaign as a foil to emphasize his message.He cites a quote from Phil Gramm, who said America was “a nation of whiners,” and then Mr.McCain himself, who albeit half-jokingly defined “rich” as someone making more than $5 million a year.Mr.Obama exploits both in this speech.“I don’t believe that Senator McCain doesn’t care what’s going on in the lives of Americans,” Mr.Obama says.“I just think he doesn’t know.” 10:23 p.m.| 10 Percent Chance on Change: Mr.Obama: “John McCain has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time.Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than 90 percent of the time? I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to take a 10 percent chance on change.”

10:22 p.m.| The Set: For all of the “Temple of Obama” talk from Republicans, the tight shots of Mr.Obama as he is speaking don’t give that impression at all.Instead, you see a backdrop that looks like windows on a home, with intimate, soft-glowing light emanating through.As they say in Hollywood, lighting is everything.10:14 | Accepts the Nomination: The opening applause goes on for two minutes and 20 seconds.He accepts the nomination at 10:14 p.m., the first African-American in the nation’s history to become the nominee of a major party.Mr.Obama opens with yet another nod to the Clintons.Here’s what he says: “Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest — a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours — Hillary Rodham Clinton.To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it.” He then thanks Senator Edward M.Kennedy and then Mr.Biden.He pays homage to his family.“To the love of my life, our next First Lady, Michelle Obama, and to Sasha and Malia – I love you so much, and I’m so proud of all of you.” Mrs.Obama flashes him a thumbs up.10:12 p.m.| Obama Takes the Stage: As U2’s City of Blinding Light plays, Mr.Obama walks on stage.He is clapping along with the audience and soaking it all in.Camera lights are flashing.He almost looks misty-eyed.10 p.m.| Roll Film: The video about Barack Obama’s life is airing now.The movie opens with a picture of his mother and what she once said.“My son, he’s an American, and he has to understand what that means.” This film, like much of the convention, is meant to underscore that theme — he’s an American, as Michelle Obama said in her speech, just like everyone else.Michael Powell describes the scene during the film: It’s like being at a drive-in movie, the lights are dim, the breezes cool.Considering this is a story told over and over again to the party faithful, the rapt attention the audience is paying to the video is striking.At the mention of Kansas in the Obama video, the group erupts, waving flags.In the delegation, a black man wearing a Reject Obama button on his cap, tears up.9:59 p.m.| Obama’s Journey: Here’s an excerpt from the pool report, the small group of reporters who are accompanying Mr.Obama to the field.At 7:16 p.m.(Mountain Time), the motorcade began to roll, pulling out onto the streets and heading toward Invesco.The city was all but shut down by this point, all traffic cleared for the candidate to make his dramatic entrance.The stadium came into view at 7:20 p.m., and he pulled in via a back entrance of the stadium at 7:26 p.m.Obama was whisked out of the cars into the backstage area, senior aides and officials waiting in the halls.The pool was brought out onto the floor.9:58 p.m.| Introducing Obama: Senator Dick Durbin, Mr.Obama’s colleague from Illinois, is up now.He introduced Mr.Obama to the 2004 convention in Boston and is introducing him again tonight.We hear that the stadium is vibrating as people chanted “Yes We Can!” at Mr.Durbin’s urging.9:57 p.m.| While You Wait: We know the Obama campaign is trying to build excitement for the big speech, but having video of the candidate delivering previous speeches to big crowds could be stealing some of his thunder when he actually appears.But let’s just say right here, thank heaven for C-SPAN!At least we can see those videos.C-SPAN is showing the entire program as it unfolds, unlike some other channels, which are preoccupied with their own talking heads.And by the way, beautiful camera work too, especially those aerial views that show the rocking, neon-lit stadium against the Rockies and the flaming night sky.9:49 p.m.| Bruuuuce: The sound system is blaring Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” reminding us of the rumors that he would make and appearance at the stadium tonight.(Wouldn’t that have been something?)It also reminds us of when Ronald Reagan had tried to claim the song as his blue-collar anthem, much to the Boss’s dismay.Whatever, the crowd is waving flags, a bit of useful imagery the Democrats have learned from the Republicans, and the sky is turning scarlet.9:34 p.m.| Running IntoWolfson: Kate Phillips sends the following dispatch: We literally just walked into Howard Wolfson, who marveled at the huge crowd at the stadium.“We would never have been able to do this,” he said smiling, and raised his arms to point upward.Asked why, he said “I think for the reasons why he’s the nominee.He tapped into people’s desire for hope and change.”

Of the Clintons, he said they did a lot this week to try to bring the party together.The story line going in had been one of division but he said should be unity heading out.He said for some people the healing is still “a work in progress.” But, he said former President Clinton hit it out of the park last night.9:25 p.m.| Predictions: Joel Benenson, Mr.Obama’s pollster, as predicted to our colleague, Kate Phillips, who is at Invesco, that the TV audience tonight may reach 30 million.Of course, that audience will be available to Mr.McCain, too, who has been running an uncharacteristically positive ad tonight here on local Denver TV and in Des Moines.9:24 p.m.| Faces in the Crowd: Michael Powell sends this dispatch: Walk by the Puerto Rico delegation on the floor of the stadium and Senator Biden has just taken the stage and people are standing and jumping and waving and there is Eder Ortiz, fingers flying on the BlackBerry.Who are you texting? “My daughter and wife—I’m asking them, ‘Are you watching this?’ he says.“This is history;they have to watch it.”

As it happens, both are watching the night on television in San Juan.And, he adds with a smile, “looking for me.”

“I was the first one in the delegation to get down here,” Mr.Ortiz, 39, said.“I’m keeping them updated every couple of minutes.” As the reporter thanks him and begins to walk away, Mr.Ortiz taps his arm.“And I will tell my family about this interview too!” And he puts head down, fingers flying.9:22 p.m.| Biden’s Back: Senator Joseph R.Biden Jr.is onstage.“I have always dreamed of standing in this place,” he said.This, said Mr.Biden, is “an open convention.”

Mr.Biden delivers the party’s message pretty straightforwardly: that despite the glamorous aura of these Invesco festivities(and what the Republicans call the “Temple of Obama”)this convention is about the cops, firefighters, teachers and other ordinary folk.When he and Barack Obama are in the White House, he says, they’ll make sure that these ordinary people are heard.Former Vice President Al Gore(Damon Winter/The New York Times)9:09 p.m.| Making the Case: Mr.Gore is a perhaps uniquely qualified person to make Mr.Obama’s case that these elections matter: He said that eight years ago, some people thought there was not much difference between the nominees of the two major parties, but few would make that argument today.Had he been elected, he said, “We would not be bogged down in Iraq,” a statement that drew huge affirmation from the audience, “and we wouldn’t be facing a self-inflicted economic crisis.”(Transcript | Video)Mr.Gore knows something about convention speeches.His own, in 2000, got a so-so reaction inside the hall in L.A.where he delivered it, but it was a huge hit on the small screen and he came out of his convention with an 8-point bounce, as measured by Gallup, slightly higher than the Democratic average of 7.3 percentage points since 1960.8:45 p.m.| The Goracle: Al Gore is taking the stage at Invesco.He is introduced as Noble Prize Recipient, Vice President Al Gore.People are on their feet, waving American flags.“Let the Sunshine In” is playing.The crowd goes wild for this Gore line, after he said that a McCain presidency would be a rerun of Bush-Cheney: “Hey, I believe in recycling, but that’s ridiculous.” He said that the race between Mr.Obama and Mr.McCain is tight because defenders of the status quo “are desperately afraid of the change Barack Obama represents.”
