GOP now ironically begging Ron Paul supporters for help

“…Mere weeks ago the long-standing attitude by both the establishment and its media was that Ron Paul and his supporters were nothing but a nuisance, wanting nothing to do with anything associated with Ron Paul. They wouldn’t let him speak at the national convention, even though he was one of the only two candidates left standing and he was literally forced to walk the convention floor for support like a petty, third-rate peasant. The convention staff did everything in their power to discredit and literally, illegally disqualify duly and legally elected Ron Paul delegates from participating in the process and coercively manipulated the proceedings so Paul delegates couldn’t have any meaningful effect on the outcome, of any aspect, of the convention. Yet, now the Republicans, or at least Paul Ryan, realizes they may not have a chance to win without them….”

Thank You county, state and national Ron Paul Delegates for your commitment.

The future of liberty is more than about a man, and is really about all of you. Thank you Ron, for inspiring all of us, and for your 30 year commitment to furthering the message.

Looking to what happens next, we’re encouraging all RNC Delegates to attend in Tampa. Thank You all county, state and national Ron Paul Delegates for your commitment.

The Ron Paul Revolution will continue, we just need to pay respect to Ron for all he’s done and figure out what to do from here. What will the R3volution be known as from here on out? What avenue is taken to secure liberty, and what will be the most effective route to restore the Republic?

With all the new knowledge of the political process, it’s really up to you where you see fit to continue – political or otherwise. If anything, continue to build the momentum and show new friends what you’ve learned. Becoming active in politics on a local level does change the results of elections, and helps to build coalitions for liberty candidates. Precinct comitteepeople are also a very important first step towards shaping the party.

“Ron Paul Delegates” is an effort which started as the result of a similar website to train and motivate Delegates for Ron Paul back in 2007. Thank You for that message. Please feel free to inspire and educate others, and keep building the momentum!

Let’s send all our Colorado Delegates/Alternates to National!

Liberty Lovers of Dr. Ron Paul Unite!

As you know, the MSM is trying to make people believe that Ron Paul has dropped out of the race.

FALSE!

That false information is again, making us dig in and fight even harder to get our delegates and alternates to Tampa.

Soooooooooo…

Below is a list of Colorado delegates and alternates (Liberty Warriors ) that are going to vote for Dr. Paul at the GOP National Convention in Tampa…and they need your help.

It costs, on average, about $2,500.00 for each person to go to the GOP National Convention.

Can you afford $90 out of your pocket to help all 18 delegates and alternates get to Tampa?

That is only a $5.00 donation from you to each of these folks.

It would only take 500 people to make this happen.

Will you be one of them to help get them get to Tampa to vote for Dr. Paul so he can become President Paul?

$5.00 x 18 = $90.00

Could you afford $180.00 out of your pocket?  That would mean only 250 of you would do the trick for each of these folks!
$10.00 x 18 = $180.00

If you could afford to donate more to each of these hard fighting liberty folks, that would be fantastic.

We must fill the coffers of the Delegates first, then the Alternates, but we want to fill them all before *July 1st.*

PLEASE!  Send this email to all of your liberty loving folks, groups, and/or email lists, or post on any liberty blogs you are on too.  (i.e. Daily Paul)

Every penny will count…good as gold!

Thank you for sharing this email, for donating, and for keeping up the positive, forward liberty and freedom movement in your area.

Our delegates and alternates are our Liberty Warriors !

Please help them win this battle for our, and our children’s liberty and freedom by donation as much as you can to each delegate and alternate.j

THANK YOU!

Michigan: Become a Precinct Delegate (Very Important!)

If you want to have a significant influence in your local GOP, you need to become a Precinct Delegate. This cannot be stressed enough.

Each County GOP organization is made up of Precinct Delegates who are voting members within the County GOP. If enough of our supporters within a county become Precinct Delegates, we will be able to elect County GOP Chairman, Vice Chairman, State Committeeman, etc. who are supportive of the liberty movement.

It is fairly easy to become a Precinct Delegate, who are elected every two years in the primary. The next election is August 7 and the deadline to file as a candidate is May 15.

The key point to know is that MANY positions for Precinct Delegates either don’t have anyone running or only one person files as a candidate (in which case, that person wins by default). This means just by filing as a candidate, you will have a great shot at winning without having to do any canvassing. To file as a candidate, all you need to do is fill out ONE form!

Here are instructions to become a Precinct Delegate:

1. Find what precinct you live in by searching here. If you have questions about what precinct you live in, call your County, City or Township Clerk. You can find their contact information here.

2. Fill out this Precinct Delegate form here. In Box II, make sure you fill in your precinct number, write “Republican” for Political Party and “August 7″ for the Date of Primary.

3. Get the form notarized. You can go to your County Clerk who can notarize it for you.

4. Send the form to your County, City or Township Clerk by 4pm on May 15. You can find the mailing addresses here.

5. After filing, your name will be placed on the August 7 ballot. If you win, you will become a Precinct Delegate for the next two years.

You can go to your County Clerk and fill out the form in person. They can help make sure you fill out everything correctly.

Each precinct is allowed at least one Precinct Delegate. You can find out how many Precinct Delegates are allowed for your precinct by calling your clerk. That way, if you know other supporters in your precinct, you’ll know how many people can file as candidates.

Many people worry about the time commitment involved with the position. All you need to do is attend a couple meetings and County Conventions a year. There really is not too much obligation and even if you don’t have the time, you can always resign your position if you find out the time commitment is too much. Please don’t let this be an obstacle from you being able to play a role in helping our supporters become the GOP.

Deadline is May 15 at 4pm.

Romney Operatives Circulate Fake Ron Paul Delegate Slates

“Incidents captured on video this weekend reveal desperate attempts by Mitt Romney operatives to divide and disrupt official Ron Paul endorsed delegate slates by handing out fake ballots to attendees at the state conventions in Nevada and Maine.”

Dirty Tricks at Nevada State Republican Convention

Romney Camp Circulates Fake List of Paul Delegate Nominees at Maine GOP

Ron Paul Wins ALL Maine Delegates – Romney Recount w/ Bush’s Adviser From 2000 (Be Warned)

 

These dirty tricks aren’t new. It also happened in Colorado. So be prepared!

Now that Ron Paul has secured the ballot, the RNC is coordinating an effort to thwart elected Delegates

Ron Paul has just secured a spot on the ballot!

And therefore the RNC is pulling out all stops.

Establishment Republicans are running scared. But that means they’re also making an effort to challenge and unseat Delegates, intimidate us, and break rules we’re using to an advantage. This time, it’s the Missouri GOP. You can view this in a number of different ways, but most noticeably – we’re making the impact we need to elect Ron Paul. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the resistance we are currently pushing through.

Here’s the latest news:

Maine GOP establishment fears Ron Paul Takeover

To: State Convention Delegates and Alternates

From: Charlie Webster

Several weeks ago I attended a meeting at the Party Headquarters with a representative from the Ron Paul campaign.

At that meeting I was informed that the Ron Paul campaign intends to “take over” the Republican State Convention and Republican State Committee.

It appears that such an effort will be attempted.

It is my opinion that, in my role as Party Chairman, my obligation is to welcome every Republican activist to our Convention, and to guarantee that all voices are heard.

All of us should welcome the supporters of Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney.

These activists are critical to the election of our candidates in the 2012 elections.

As attendees of our convention, I write to inform you of this situation and to remind you of the importance of attending the Convention beginning with the election of the Convention Secretary when we convene at 9 a.m. ( We recommend that you arrive at 8:15, at the latest to collect your Delegate/Alternate credentials )

The very first business on Saturday will be the election of the Convention Secretary and Convention Chairman.

This would be the first opportunity for anyone to “take over” the Convention by electing ” their ” Convention Chairman.

The County caucuses will be held at 4 o’clock and this matter of business would be another opportunity to “take over” the State Committee.

I regret the necessity of writing this message, but unfortunately there are those among us who would choose to divide us rather than unite us. Individuals who seem to believe that the overall good of the Party may not be as important as their candidate and their own personal political opinions.

Thanks for reading this message, see you at the Convention. 8:15 a.m. on Saturday

Charlie Webster
Chairman, Maine Republican Party

Watch more news on this story unfold on the RPF: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?374766-Maine-GOP-chairman-accuses-Paul-campaign-of-quot-take-over-quot-plans

Update:

Here is a response to Charlie’s “Important Message” from Eric Brakey Maine State Director for Ron Paul’s Campaign

Maine Patriots,

I regret the necessity of writing this message, but unfortunately the Maine GOP leadership has desperately chosen to use “scorched earth” tactics to suppress your vote.

This morning, Charlie Webster sent out an email to Maine Republicans which contained outright lies about a meeting he had with our campaign.
Perhaps the facts got lost in Charlie’s spam folder.

Charlie Webster says we want to “take over” the Republican Convention.
By “taking over,” he must mean we want to have our voices heard.
If that’s the case, then count me in.

In order to send a conservative delegation to Tampa, we need your help.

If you have not yet become a delegate, there’s still time. This Saturday, any vacant delegate seats can be filled by registered Republicans who show up. That’s right, you may STILL become a delegate for Dr. Paul!

Maine is winnable–with your help. To become a delegate, show up to the Augusta Civic Center no later than 8:00 am to register. Fellow supporters have worked out carpooling and room-sharing options, simply respond to this email with any questions.

If Charlie wants a fight, it’s a fight he will get!

For Liberty,
Eric Brakey
Maine State Director
Ron Paul Presidential Campaign
207-406-0897
P.S. Ron Paul’s been fighting for us for 30 years; fight for Ron Paul and become a Delegate, it’s easy! Just show up.

 

Ron Paul Will Win Nevada, and the GOP Wants to Stop Him

In a shockingly brazen power trip, the national GOP has sent a threatening letter to Nevada Republicans demanding that they show support for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at their state convention this weekend.

The Nevada Republican Convention is the highest legislative body of the state’s Republican Party and the desultory letter seeks to challenge that autonomy. In the letter, Republican National Committee Chief Counsel John R. Phillipe, Jr., introduces a new way of thinking that entitles former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney to, in essence, veto the election of delegates that he is unhappy with. The text of the letter can be read here. http://media.lasvegassun.com/media/p…_Delegates.pdf”

The letter, dated May 2, was addressed to newly-elected Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald and ended on a paternalistic tone in which it threatened to strip all of Nevada’s delegates: “I believe it is highly likely that any committee with jurisdiction over the matter would find improper any change to the election, selection, allocation, or binding of delegates thus jeopardizing the seating of Nevada’s entire delegation to the National Convention.”

This letter points to a possible bias against Texas Congressman Ron Paul among the national Republican leadership and comes on the heels of strong Paul finishes over the last two weeks in Louisiana, Minnesota, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

Las Vegas-based journalist John Ralston commented.

“Clearly the RNC fears that mischief at the Sparks convention this weekend could result in Ron Paul delegates taking Mitt Romney slots and then not abiding by GOP rules to vote for the presumptive nominee in the first ballot in Tampa. So they are trying to force McDonald to ensure the actual Romney delegates fill 20 of the 28 national convention slots, thus removing any question of who they will vote for.”

Republican voters aren’t moved. An unnamed Republican voter commented Thursday: “The beautiful thing about our party is that it’s decentralized. The county parties can do what they want and the state parties can do what they want. This guy’s dreaming if he thinks he has a prayer influencing any decent Republican. Ron Paul’s not my first choice, but if some DC lawyer thinks I’m [going to] side with him over a decent guy like Paul, he doesn’t know Republicans very well … Mind your own business, D.C.”

Such pressure tricks are unlikely to work in a state like Nevada where Ron Paul supporters were rebuffed at the state convention four years ago after winning congressional district votes for Nevada delegates. GOP officials went so far as to turn off the lights in a windowless room as a method of adjourning the state convention. Instead of going home and sulking, Paul supporters fought back. Four years later, the GOP old guard is still feeling the blowback from 2008 as Ron Paul supporters have succeeded in influencing the party at almost all levels of government and removing the old guard from party positions statewide.

What Happened in Colorado?

Some disturbing news is emerging from the Colorado assemblies about the Ron Paul Colorado campaign interfering with the grassroots in a BIG way.

Now, Colorado has been touted as a victory, and this was exiting news. It is rumored that all the unpledged delegates and some Santorum delegates will be for Ron Paul. But if the Paul/Santorum “unity slate” was so effective, then why does Ron Paul have zero pledged National Delegates?
