Delegate training all this week for Tarrant County Texas.

[KMX]

This needs to be on front page!!

Delegate training all this week in Tarrant County Texas.

Precinct conventions are VERY SOON!!! (April 3rd)

Please make sure you are planning to attend delegate training this week. We live in a republic, not a democracy. Voting in the primary doesn't actually pick Ron Paul, it only gives instructions to your party representatives on how you want them to vote. If you support Ron Paul and want to vote for him, you have to become a delegate or at least come elect the people you want to represent you in those votes. Delegates are the ones who will actually be voting for Ron Paul (or someone else) Don't wait until it's too late and you realize you didn't do what needed to be done.

We have one shot at this. Please don't blow it. Go to your Precinct
Convention on Tuesday, April 3rd, fully trained and fully prepared.

If you have been to these conventions before, we still need a head
count, to know who is coming to the Precinct Conventions. Sign-up and
let us know that you are going to the Convention but not training.

I just got back from the first session of the week. Another session started 30 minutes ago. We had a great showing! Jeremy gave us some good information on the local and Texas delegate selection process. We also got to learn a bit about local politics.

I suggest anyone who can make it to come out and get some training before April 3rd! Also note every county is different this year, some aren't doing precinct conventions or they may have a different date.

1. Texas is crazy this year
2. Everything is different
3. Your precinct and or senate district may have changed due to re-districting

Use the following link to find your precinct and your Senate district. Under select plan, choose Overlay plan, then choose the Court Order Interim Senate Plan. Then at the top right click Precinct. Now find your home, the colored area is your precinct and the red number, with an outline around the area is your senate district.

EDIT: I would also like to add that precinct locations will be posted by tommorow at http://tcgop.org/

Just got back myself. It was great! Came away with a bunch of good information.

DELEGATES!

 

[KMX]

If you are not a delegate then what are you doing?

Delegates are the ones that TRULY vote for the person NOT the public.

BECOME A DELEGATE WE NEED THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

In a winner-take-all primary state, how effective can delegates be if we're not in first? When primary states vote, they aren't just a straw poll vote like caucus states.

It's threads like these that need to be kept bumped in Grassroots Central since they get knocked down by all the other junk that gravitates here. So....bump.

I have a friend who lives in Austin, TX and is a RP supporter. Who should I put him in touch with? PM me please if you have details.

If you are in the Fort Worth area, and want to help this cause, please help us out. The Liberty For All Super PAC will have a walk list of Ron Paul people in Fort Worth by tomorrow and it would be great if we could have some volunteers going door to door. It would be great if we could get someone to help us out up there and convince these people to attend these delegate trainings . Time is running out so please message me if you are interested.

Lets say Ron Paul wins Texas with 100% of the primary vote.

Do you think it will matter, if his people are not serving as the delegates that go to Tampa? They will change the rule(properly, via the rules) and unbound the delegates.

Also, how do you change the rules so it is no longer winner-take-all for next time?

Get on board with Ron Paul's strategy to take back the Republican Party!

Lets be realistic...Paul is not going to win 1st place in Texas.

I think it is more important for primary states to focus on taking over the senate districts and congressional districts at this point to make the future easier for the next freedom candidate. Becoming chairs and vice chairs and making sure you hold the positions works like a caucus process where achieving that is actually possible.

Any primary state that votes after April 1st is a lost cause for us.

The point of having Paul-supporting delegates in states like TX where we're not expecting to win the popular vote or a large number of bound delegates, is because of the effect it would have in the event of a brokered convention, which looks more likely every week. At the convention, once the bound delegates become unbound, they can support whomever they want. I believe Texas delegates become unbound after one round of voting. (Need to verify.)
