Denver Caucus 2012/ Ron Paul Supporter Verbally Assaulted and Grabbed!!!

oo i forgot the most important part, this was after several hundred ron paul supporters said point of order!! After they ignored a valid point of order. I walked down the aisle. Turned the mic on and then said point of order. That is what got the attention and it was valid, so they were basically gonna try to railroad us all!!! very tired i am.

Holy shnikees, you were there!?!?!

 
Way to go, Kenny! + rep for the hard fought battle within the GOP!
 
We took 9 out 10 delegates for state and 9 out of 10 delegates for CD1 in Denver county. From what I'm hearing, we pretty much cleaned up in most of the house districts. Also, the "Audit the Fed" resolution passed almost unanimously!

Good job!

I loved the resolution debate section when there were all of the "pro" time for debate was taken up and the moderator (?) asked if anyone would like to speak against auditing the Fed and the chairman said "Barney Frank!". And then someone actually gave a speech against it, which I think was unexpected.
 
Too bad the media and establishment are spinning this already. It's on top of theblaze as "Ron Paul supporters push GOP meeting into madness..." It's too be expected, though. I wonder how long until it's on CNN or Fox. Of course they will only show the loud part with people calling "point of order" and will not explain what that means or what you all were trying to accomplish, they will just make it look like OWS or something.

Nonetheless, good work all involved.
 
look forward to seeing the video. Still sinking in what we accomplished . We played by the rules. it was the gop status quo and the chair which caused the madness. It made it less stressful knowing we all had each others back in there:)

Congrats on what you did. After rewatching the video and hearing some of the context here, I understood a lot more. I was in the balcony (as an observer...) so I couldn't see much of anything but the chairman. Although I could hear everything. :)

I'm having Youtube video upload problems. I'll try again later.

yeah i was there from 5am to 5pm , on the still shot of that video. I am the white shirt guy in the middle of the still frame. Notice the establishment guy a few back from me. the guy in the red shirt is shouting to me trying to bully me along with kind words from the neo-cons near the microphone. that was cut off along with sound in the back of room.

In new video i assume. someone caught the gop est saying they had nothing to do with cutting sound or mics. That is him lying to everyone, Flat Out LIE to 700 plus delegates.

please hit comments, all we did was ask about 15 minutes vs a 1 hr lunch on a valid point of order ,they tried to ignore. Then we asked for a valid point of info to have the amended rules read since no one in the room had the amended rules they just passed, no one had it. The chair and the gop est is the madness!!
 
Alright, here is the video I have. Apologies it was just with my phone and I was on the balcony since I was only observing (only delegates were allowed on the floor).

Anyway, I started recording right after the chair said that "there was a group of folks committed to disrupting the caucus, just like in 2008". This then went into the whole "point of order" segment. I didn't catch everything Kenny mentions, but it hits the highlights. And is definitely more informative than that biased article posted earlier. Note that at some point, we do actually hear someone specifically state the reason for the point of order: we wanted a 1 hr lunch. This is broken up into 2 segments (part 1: 0-10 mins, part 2: 10-~18 mins, no particular reason) since Youtube has a 15 min restriction on HD video, and I didn't transcode:

Part 1:

Part 2:

The third video is the reading of the rules. Again, I didn't catch the start but I wanted to catch the absurdity of the situation. Notice how they slow down at the end when describing the reasons they can eject any one from the meeting. Maybe that's all they wanted us to hear? :)

Enjoy!
