Forward this to every supporter everywhere as soon as possible!

We need to push on and continue to fight as hard as we can. We must never get to confident, but we must also not lose hope.

Don't you dare listen to the main stream media or others.
They don't have a clue about what we are doing.
We will not give up so easily as they are hoping for.

This was the plan for a while now since the media blackout severely limited our exposure. Ron Paul supporters need to understand this. We could have done better, but we are still on track. If you think our chances are low, then do more. If you treasure your freedoms, become a delegate NOW!


If you knew what it would take to win this election, would you do it? If it would take exactly as much effort as you possibly could give to assure victory, would you give it if you knew we would win? We can win! If all it will take is more effort from us, then what is stopping us from our victory? No matter what we are up against, I tell you that we are our worst enemy if we do not do at least as much as we are able to. I am not saying we should not fight those that try to hinder us, I am saying we should never stop the fight. We need to do everything we can to fight as hard as we possibly can. We must get others to understand that those who desire freedom for this nation have been left with only one choice in this election. Ron Paul or Bust!


We must do everything we can to get people to sign up to become delegates regardless of the chances of being thrown out or not. It hurts nothing to try, but if you don't try you may have been needed to assure our victory. I don't want to lay down a guilt trip, but if that is what it would take to win I will do it in a second. I have been sitting on the fence myself for a while considering if I should try to become a delegate or not. I have only just now decided that I will try everything that is in my power to become a delegate no matter what.

Like myself, I am hoping others get a bitter taste of reality and are now willing to do what ever it takes to get this done.
If you have been sitting on the fence as I have, please contact your local meetup group leader immediately to see what you need to do to become a delegate!

Ron Paul National Delegate Count Now 42 or More

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 6, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – With the results of many of the “Super Tuesday” primaries and caucuses now finalized, the Ron Paul campaign is now projecting that it has at least 42 delegates to the national convention secured.

While much of the focus in yesterday’s Super Tuesday contests focused on preference poll numbers, Ron Paul caucus-goers were focused on securing delegates to the national convention. With dedicated supporters and an organization focused purely on securing delegates, the campaign has secured more delegates to the national convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul than caucus straw polls might otherwise suggest.

According to campaign projections, a minimum of 24 delegates were won in yesterday’s contests. When added to projected delegates coming from strong showings in Iowa (4), Nevada (8), Louisiana (3) and Maine (3), that brings the total delegate count to 42 delegates or more.

“Our goal has always been to walk into the national GOP convention with as many delegates as possible,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. “The number of delegates we won yesterday could very well be the difference in a Convention where no one has a first-ballot majority. With Dr. Paul’s home state of Texas coming up, we feel we can enter the convention with a substantial number of delegates.”

In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign at the West Virginia state convention early Tuesday. Ron Paul delegates to the state convention swung their sizable support to Huckabee – putting Huckabee over the top – in exchange for the delegates.

According to campaign projections from last night’s results at least 3 delegates were won in Alaska, 5 delegates were won in North Dakota, 9 delegates were won in Minnesota, and 4 delegates were won in Colorado.

Additionally the results of the Louisiana Caucus may still change in favor of Ron Paul, where an ongoing legal challenge may result in most of that state’s delegates going towards Ron Paul after state GOP officials violated their own rules to improperly put delegates from other campaigns on the ballots.

PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS SO YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN WIN THE NOMINATION AND STOP LISTENING TO THE MSM FOR YOUR INFO!

Posted February 6th, 2008 by SGPI hope someone will put this on the front page so it doesn’t get lost.

I know many of you are bummed about yesterday BUT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE ELECTION SYSTEM WORKS : Let me explain to you the reality of how to become the nominee.


First stop looking at who wins each states popular vote for most of these states the vote by the people is really nothing but a straw poll and have no real bearing on who will become the nominee. The only way this matters is if 1 person receives 1192 delegates that are bound by state rules to be commited to that candidate. NOW there is no possible way that anyone in the race can achieve this goal now because of the major split in state wins by the candidates.

So what happens now you ask? You look at the number of delegates that Dr. Paul has that are uncommited to the other candidates and will support him. these delegates are not decided by the popular vote ie: straw poll of the people. Since no one will have enough delegates to skate them through to the nomination we now must look at how many delegates NOT VOTES but delegates Dr. Paul has that are 100% uncommited to the other candidates and will be 100% for Dr. Paul and are free to vote for whom they wish.

This race will go all the way to the convention for there is no other way for someone to receive the nomintaion untill the convention.

The RNC will convene its annual Winter Meeting - and voters will continue to cast their ballots in the nation’s primaries and caucuses. Candidates for delegate and alternate delegate to the convention will be elected - and thousands of convention participants and guests will begin planning their trips to Minneapolis-Saint Paul The first week in September 2008

SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

This means that all of the people that registered to become a deligate for Dr. Paul can go to the convention and cast thier vote for Dr. Paul, now think about what i just said : Do you think for one second that all the people that voted for Dr. Paul and filed to become a deligate will not show up at the convention to vote for the good Doctor? Of course they will just like they battled the rain and the sleet and the 15 below zero winter weather to knock on doors and wave signs spreading our message.

Now i assure you that even though we didn’t win the popular vote in many states WE DID PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES THAN ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN MOST EVERY STATE EXCEPT A FEW. So yes they won the straw poll and we won what counts which is delegates.

Doesn’t Dr. Paul need to WIN 5 states to be on the ballot at the convention for the nomination?

NO THIS IS NOT TRUE for people were just confused on how it actually works.

We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and i assure you we have picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more than 5 states.

Do any of you remember seeing posts by myself and many others that said BECOME A DELEGATE? There is still time in most states to become a delegate for the convention and we are picking up more of them every day.

So please STOP you worry too much because you do not understand how the election system works and you thought we lost didn’t you?

The fact is Dr. Paul is a genius in his strategy and we are further ahead in delegates than you think and we can win the nomination.

I hope this gives a better understanding of how we have been winning even though most of you thought we were not.

NOW LET’S KEEP WORKING!

I think this would have helped us tremendously if we had it sooner. But we have it now and need to promote it any way we can.

I'm sorry I just don't agree that Ron paul came into the campaign as a goal of "a brokered convention". What a stupid goal if you chose to run for president.

Good point....It's still far from over as Mccain can't get the nomination...Brokered convention!!!

Yes, McCain CAN get the nomination. Please stop this madness. Learn the real rules.

Nope.

Well I doubt it was from the start. I edited the post to reflect that. I did not anticipate this response. I must have worded it incorrectly.

 

[Lumara]

Oh wow, this is great news! Until I read this I had given up hope and planned to just write in Ron Paul's name during the election.

 

[luvfreedom]

Maybe some of us don't understand the rules even when we read them. I think you are saying it is possible for McCain to get a majority of delegates and win the nomination, but what you are not saying is that it is possible for him not to. Hence a brokered convention. Right?

 

[BigRedBrent]

I almost condemn optimism if it makes people less motivated to actually do something, but if anything will increase our chances I am all for it. Depression is by far worse then optimism that is for sure. A complete lack of hope will kill our chance of liberty if we do not have the motivation to fight for it.

People need to fight this battle with a lot of inspiration. We need to fight as if us and our families lives depend upon it, for they very well may.

I would rather people get mad as hell, then to get depressed and stop fighting.

"According to campaign projections, a minimum of 24 delegates were won in yesterday’s contests. When added to projected delegates coming from strong showings in Iowa (4), Nevada (8), Louisiana (3) and Maine (3), that brings the total delegate count to 42 delegates or more."

MAYBE those 4 states and...?

 

[BigRedBrent]

In what states have we picked up a majority of delegates?

Louisiana

We may end up getting a lot more from Louisiana if our legal battle is successful.
