Alabama NEEDS delegates!

Doesn't say that in the google docs spreadsheet. Maybe it hasn't been updated?

No the spreadsheet is current. I think they were referring to the Virginia signatures being taken care of. The Alabama situation still requires 37 people to file as delegates.

Here's more information for the Alabama supporters who are interested in applying:

Here's a Ron Paul supporter that you can contact for more information:

Ok, well that's exactly what I'm talking about. I've alerted whoever owns the Paul Alabama FB page...at least I tried to in a comment since non-owners aren't allowed to post status updates.

We know of any other Alabama supporters on the forums? Must be a decent amount.
 
Ah dammit! You're right, the Virginia signatures for ballot access has been done, but we're still missing delegates for Alabama. I already posted this on the Ron Paul 2012 Alamaba Facebook page. Hopefully people see it there.

We need to get this done ASAP, can't wait till the last minute.



Btw: is Alamaba a caucus or primary state? Winner takes all or proportional?

According to Blue Republican it's an open primary. The state's official election page:

I'm assuming it's a proportional primary, not sure.

Here's all the info, sorry for the long post

Tuesday 13 March 2012: 47 of 50 of Alabama's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Alabama Presidential Primary.

21 district delegates are allocated to presidential contenders, "winner-take-most", based on the results of the primary in each congressional district.

Each of the 7 congressional districts is assigned 3 National Convention delegates.
If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (more than 50%) or if only one candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, that candidate is allocated all 3 of the district's delegates.
If no candidate receives a majority of the vote and more than 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, the candidate with the most votes is allocated 2 delegates and the candidate with the next highest number of votes is allocated 1 delegate.
If no candidate receives 20% of the vote, the 3 district delegates are proportionally allocated to the presidential contenders. See the rounding rules below.
26 at-large delegates are allocated to presidential contenders, "winner-take-most", based on the statewide results of the primary.
If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (more than 50%) or if only one candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, that candidate is allocated all of the 26 at-large delegates.
If no candidate receives a majority of the vote and more than 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, the 26 at-large delegates are to be proportionally allocated to the presidential contenders to those candidates receiving 20% or more the vote. See the rounding rules below.
If no candidate receives 20% of the vote, the 26 at-large delegates are proportionally allocated to the presidential contenders. See the rounding rules below.
Proportional allocation rounding: Round the delegate allocations to the nearest whole number. If the rounding allocates too few delegates, the candidate with the most votes receives the remaining delegate(s). If the rounding allocates too many delegates, the candidate receiving the fewest votes looses as many delegates as necessary.
In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Alabama's Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.

Delegate election.

Delegates must file a Declaration of Candidacy on or before 13 January 2012. Delegate candidates may run in either the CD where he/she votes or for the statewide (at-large) positions, but not both. Delegates bind themselves to Presidential contenders on the Declaration.

There are 47 National Convention delegate "place numbers" on the primary ballot-- 3 for each of the 7 Congressional districts and 26 statewide. Delegates run for each "place number". A delegate's name and "place number" appears on the ballot below the Presidential candidate's name unless the delegate is unopposed for that "place number". If there is more than one candidate for a place number, the delegate receiving the most votes for that "place number" is elected. Should candidate withdraw, delegates for that candidate may either withdraw or become uncommitted. Find the delegates who have filed here.

Voters cast ballots for no more than one Presidential candidate and that candidates delegates. The voter cannot vote for one Presidential candidate and the delegates for another.

National Convention District Alternate delegates are elected by the Congressional District Committee. Statewide alternates are elected by the Republican Executive Committee.

No person named as a delegate or alternate delegate pledged to a person as the Republican nominee for President of the United States shall cast a contrary vote at such convention unless first released by (a) public statement or in writing by such presidential candidate or (b) two-thirds vote of all members of the Alabama Delegation to the Republican National Convention similarly pledged; and the vote of any person who attempts to violate the provisions hereof shall not be allowed, but such vote may instead be cast for the person to whom such delegate or alternate delegate is pledged either by the Chairman of the Alabama Delegation to the Republican National Convention or by the Secretary of such Convention.

We still need people to apply as delegates in Alabama. For $150, you'll have a chance to be a delegate and vote for Ron Paul at the Republican National Convention. As a supporter, I can't think of a more unique opportunity.
 
I can't believe we're short on delegates, ground support is supposed to be our thing.
