Do You Want to be a National Convention Delegate?

[Carlybee]

All that is needed for tyranny to triumph is for good people to do nothing...

Thank you for that platitude. Tyranny HAS triumphed. We live in a virtual police state. Our every move is watched. Our every conversation listened to. We are physically groped before we can fly on a plane. Candidates cannot get elected without millions and millions of dollars and then they must compromise those very same principles that inspired that quote in order to pay lip service to War, Inc. It's not 2007 anymore. Hope and change has left the building. That's how I feel..I expect everyone else to follow their own path.

At any rate, I won't rain on the parade here but rather than posting that list of criteria perhaps you should post a detailed list of every step required to actually become a delegate from the precinct level up.

I'm sure people here would like to be delegates. Whether they will let them is another thing. The Maine delegation wasn't that long ago. Ideally, I'd see delegates being chosen more if they were already a part of the Party process leading up to this point. Let's not forget how often longstanding members make the valid and correct claim that younger folks only show up when it's to benefit their candidate and rarely appear at other events.

Here's the thing though. In a lot of state conventions 2012, we were very very close to a majority. Think Iowa. Rand has wider appeal, or at least we will surely find out.

Not to mention, the lasting effect of precinct comitteepeople, and having a high impact on local elections if one is so inclined to keep going. I'd say at least show up for, and coach someone who's interested in becoming a Delegate if you see the opportunity to do so. Also tell them of your negative aspects too, because that's also useful.

Yes, we were super duper close last time. I bet we'll be super super duper close this time.

Interesting username on Ron/Rand Paul's Forum. Are you recruiting people to be national delegates for Ted Cruz?

 

[Carlybee]

Yes, we were super duper close last time. I bet we'll be super super duper close this time.

I bet no one even gets their fingers broken this time.

Tyranny HAS triumphed.

Only because it hasn't been fought effectively.

Indeed. Agreed 1000%.

So why did Jesse Benton give away my state's delegates to Romney last time? No thanks, not interested to watch some last minute deal like that take place again.

Besides, there's still the problem of not qualifying under #'s 8, 9, & 10.

I am not sure that he did...

Ahhh, those last minute deals. sons of bitches! yes, this must be addressed.

Hard to fight effectively when liberty gets tossed under the bus in order to play the never ending game.

I need some information for South Carolina. I will be moving there next week from Pennsylvania and would like to get involved.

And here I thought you knew everything.

Well, unfortunately for SC, it is a winner take all primary state and there is no Caucus. Unless Rand wins, you're bound to vote for someone else.

 

[TheTexan]

you're bound to vote for someone else.

That's ok. The important thing is that you vote.

 

[MelissaCato]

I really do wish Ron Paul was running again. Darn it.

 

[cajuncocoa]

That's ok. The important thing is that you vote.

And vote as hard as you can!

 

[H. E. Panqui]

...'the rand paul campaign' has made it very easy for me!...their stinking political tactics and/or beliefs are ruinous and gd foolish like the rest of the stinking republicrats...so i will be working/hoping that rand gets less support than ron...

...stinking miserable ignorance needs to be punished...certainly not rewarded...

 

[euphemia]

Okay, fair enough. What made you not want to do it this time?

Republicans are as corrupt as the day is long. I was a county delegate once. That was enough, and we have video proof of what we saw.
