Call to Action from Athens, GA!

Forgive me if I'm missing something but I wonder how much good it will do to ask the corrupt folks who planned and executed the fiasco that happened last Saturday to correct the situation.

Gives them less wiggle room when Ben Swann does his report. They can't claim no one objected/they didn't know etc. if there's anything that works on changing a politicians behavior (aside from lobby money) it's a spot light ;)

Speaking of which

If it were just you and I, probably not much good. It has to be a LOT of people and news organizations applying pressure to them to do the right thing.

I've been in contact with Ben Swann on and off since before the video was released publicly. He hasn't been updated on our new strategy, though. We really need to focus the conversation around this whole thing so it doesn't fade away. Over 70 delegates come out of Georgia, 16 from Athens-Clarke county alone. It would be good to get their delegate slate thrown out, but it would be much, much better to get it thrown out and replaced with ours.

And thanks =).

Do you have footage of the reconvened session? Even if it's not ready for release at this point that could be useful in applying pressure as well ;) (I've had a couple of folks ask about the 'second half' of the video because they wanted to see the proper session as well )
 
This is what I've got. Stole most parts from Tod. :o + rep and thank you.

Will check back/edit/spell check in a few hrs and send it off to the addresses. Thanks Frankie Brown for the opportunity to help.

Aloha from Hawaii, this year marks the first year Republicans were able to easily participate in choosing a candidate in our state, it also marks the first year other folks not of the 'Republican persuasion' were invited to actually join the GOP and for their participation through the GOP, actually receive something in good faith -a vote.


I understand GA isn't Hawaii, however, when growing a party it is essential to have things on the 'up and up' or folks are likely to go find another brand.


I was absoultely disapointed to hear the way the March 10th, 2012 meeting of the Athens-Clarke County GOP was conducted in blatant violation of Robert’s Rules of Order, but was glad to learn that the meeting was reconvened the next day and the situation rectified.

Because the March 10th meeting was illegally closed after the delegate slate improperly voted on, in accordance with Robert's Rule of Order, the meeting was rightly reconvened and the delegate slate that had been chosen improperly was discarded and a new one chosen, following proper procedure. Corrected paperwork has been submitted.
The slate passed at the reconvened meeting of Athens-Clarke county which was held on March 11, 2012, is the only legal slate from that county and it the only slate that qualifies to have its delegates and alternates proceed to the District and State conventions.

The GOP in Hawaii are watching, as are those new to the party. We are watching the Athens-Clarke County GOP to ensure that they do the right thing and adopt the legal slate of delegates.


As one who has been denied easy access to the GOP selection process, and as one wants to grow the GOP by inviting new prospects, it is imperitive that I have faith in the 'product'. I will not continue to sell a party that breaks their own rules.


Please do the right thing.


Sincerely, ***** *******

It helps expose how far up the tree the rot goes. Keep appealing to every level of the party.

So if the lower-level demons won't help, we appeal directly to Satan himself, eh?

It's no loss on our part to crowd them as much as possible. Upside is we get our slate, downside is business as usual. Exerting a little action won't get us anything less than what they're scheming right now. Anyway, sent them my .02$
 
Way to go Frankie, you rock!!

I am a fellow Athens for Ron Paul-er, by the way! It's so cool that we are getting national attention and help with this. We need to change the corrupt GOP from the inside (or outside, the important thing is that it changes).

Call bomb now!
 
There, I just called too, in addition to the e-mail sent last night.

It went straight to voice mail. I left a nice scathing message (very polite and calm) about how appallingly the first meeting was handled and how I had confidence that they would do the right thing and how the media most certainly would be looking into it.

We have the video of the reconvention to the state and local GOP officials. We're also working on getting the chairman of the Athens-Clarke county GOP impeached. I'll keep you updated =).

That's the address on the website. But I wouldn't really expect any better from the GA GOP.

Also, ya'll look for me Tuesday night... On Reality Check with Ben Swann!

Most excellent, let me know when you're ready to release it (the reconvened video) and I'll use it as a new release to draw more attention to your story (not as much as Mr. Swann I'm sure but still ;) ). Yes most definitely keep me updated on those proceedings as well, in fact any solid steps along the way :) I'll use each update to keep your story 'fresh' so more people will get involved and spread the word. :cool:
 
Breaking rules in front of an organized group of Paul supporters is ... a very bad idea LOL
