Dont fear the threats!

[juvanya]

Are they really going to not seat a half dozen or more states on national television?

Its as simple as that. Embarrass them with their own foolishness. As long as the delegates we won remain in their positions, they will be seated.
And do they really think well be scared of sitting in the back rows? pshhh

Onward, lads (and lasses)!

They have the balls to do it, because the MSM will play as the clean up crew.

I have noticed that even on the local level the old guard can always be counted on to pull some crazy shit. They will catch you at a bad time and just all of a sudden start steam rolling through Robs rules at a pace its hard to call point of order. They just plane make shit up half the time.

We need to be on the look out because if we pull this off the national convention will be full of trickery.

 

[juvanya]

Stand firm, but there will be hell if they refuse to seat any delegation.

Could you imagine the chaos if Delegates travel to Tampa on their own dime and then get outed by the RNC? Chaos!

Exactly; it's a game of chicken. Don't blink.

That part is usually never on television, only the nominee's acceptance speech is. At least not on MSM.. Which network is going to show that long of a meeting.

 

[The Gold Standard]

We better have cameras there.

 

[Maximus]

There will still be reporters and bloggers and the like there... it's much harder to pull off than say the ND state convention. Not that they won't do it, just that the "a landslide can't be rigged" principle is in effect. The more states/delegates we have, the harder for them to pull their tricks.

and organized watchers, listeners, counters, checkers, etc to make sure no funny business slips past.

Will Adam Kokesh be heckling again this time? I vote "yes." Bring it on Adam.

 

[anaconda]

Can the campaign file any lawsuits or anything to prevent the usual police state set up outside the convention? Instead of the little ridiculous fenced off protest area?

Do you know what happened at the last Brokered Convention?

*We accept that the typical motion follows 6 steps.

2. Motion is seconded.
3. Presiding Officer restates the motion to the audience.
4. The assembly debates the motion.
5. The vote is taken.
6. The chair announces whether the motion was adopted or not; instructs the correct officer to take action.

There is no old guard in my County.

Remember, all politics is local. Don't think that what you are seeing in your local Republican Party is typical of everyone else.

Here in Mississippi the Republican Party is poorly organized and essentially non-existent in most counties.

If Ron Paul supporters can bring new members to the Party they will be welcomed, not shunned, as soon as they prove they are interested in local and Mississippi issues and not just walking around shouting Ron Paul at everyone.

Hell folks, how do you think 'they' did it? Same way we are doing it now.

Show up, walk in, and assume control. Be polite, be firm, and follow the West Point creed of 'I will neither lie, cheat or steal nor will I tolerate those that do'.

If you live up to that you will go far indeed.

One of the C-SPAN channels should, I would think.

 

[jbauer]

There is a 0% chance they don't seat delgates. The GOP will make sure mittens has enough before the convention. If they don't seat delgates they stand to loose a whole lot more then just the Paul loyalists.

 

[Massachusetts]

I also want to mention: If you are a delegate, don't let them bribe you or pressure you into going against your beliefs.

It's what Ron would want you to do.

And at National this had better be organized by the Campaign as well.

I'm all for independent action but leaders gotta lead sometimes.
