I know this is late notice. Our WY GOP convention is tomorrow, starting at 8am MST. If there are any Paul supporters in the Greeley or Fort Collins, CO areas that aren't busy, we need your help. We need people to help man our info table and we also need a sign bomb outside the convention haul. I cannot reveal what is happening here because this board is not secret, however, I can tell you taht the talk of the convention dinner tonight was that "Ron Paul people took over" and "how can we stop them?" Our senators and congresswoman all endorsed Romney tonight and Josh Romney is HERE.


Please please help us. Our efforts have been 100% grassroots. The campaign hasn't helped us with ANYTHING - no info, no advocates, etc. They didn't even name a state chair.

We are at Little America in Cheyenne. It's at the crossroads of I-80 and I-25. Please come, bring signs, and rule the parking lot!

In Liberty!
 
It looks like the establishment is preparing for another takeover of our people.

I wish this came up sooner. Hopefully people over there have been keeping contact with each other, and at this point, Santorum's people too. We all applaud your efforts without the help of the campaign and wish you best of luck tomorrow. Unfortunately that's all I can do righy now since I'm typing this on my phone lol
 
hopefully some Coloradoans who won't be at state convention tomorrow and are jazzed after today's results will be able to make a road trip.... or something!
 
Thank you guys. please spread the word. I am so worn out and so are the rest of us but I can tell you that all I heard all night was "The Ron Paul people took over the nominating committee" and "We must find out who the Ron Paul people are." We even had 1 Romney bozo bust into our private party tonight to look at peoples' name tags. What a moron. Another tried but our 6'6" 300 lb bouncer prevented him from entering.

Funny this is, we tried to pass rules in nominating committee that all nominees get on the ballot with no preference and the Romney people beat us out by 2 votes. Once the votes were counted and they saw that they didn't have the preferential slate in their pocket, then they tried to say that the committee has actually passed those rules. So funny. Slime balls. They caused their own pain today by wanting to play down and dirty. We brought fairness and honesty to the table, they shot it down, and it came around to bite them in their rears. I was so happy I cried!! More details to be released on how it all went down, but not tonight.

Anyway please please come and help us and eat up the press coverage, etc. Tomorrow I'll tell you how many of us are here. :cool:
 
Yes, Cheney will be here. He is the coveted son of WY so I hope none of our people protest him or it will definitely hurt those of us inside the convention.
 
I heard that we won all 14 alternate delegate positions.

Basically, Romney's slate got more votes than our slate.

Click to expand...

well, SOME of his delegates likely won't make it and our alternates will pick up. Sounds like our people made themselves known, all the same.
 
I'd say we did really well given that the deck was stacked against us.

Dick Cheney was there and endorsed Romney
Governor Matt Mead was there and endorsed Romney
Congresswoman Cynthis Lummis was there and endorsed Romney
Senator Mike Enzi was there and endorsed Romney
Senator John Barrasso was there and endorsed Romney
Former Congresswoman Barbara Cubin was there and endorsed Romney
Romney's son, Josh, was there and spoke on Romney's behalf

All of the above got to speak at the convention to endorse Romney.

This is what they have to pull for Romney landslides.

We just get the people out. No side-show needed.
 
To add to Tsai's comments on the convention and what they had to do to win:

All of the speakers Tsai mentioned spoke in the 2 hours leading up to the actual vote.

Josh Romney held up a printed flyer of a slate of 14 delegates and said they were chosen by his father. then the campaign ran around throwing copies of the flyer on all the tables.

I was informed within 15 minutes of the ballots getting collected that the Paul supporters were going to be accused of voting more than once and that there were more ballots than voters (3). It turned out that all three of our super delegates submitted fraudulent ballots. Our state chairman and national committeeman were not entitled to vote but they submitted ballots anyway and our natonal committee woman (and the former vice chair of the RNC), Jan Larimer, admitted to submitting TWO ballots. I had to spend well over an hour in the hall with 4 Romney attorneys. It was unreal. I represented the Paul campaign. The deputy counsel to the Romney campaign, and myself, met with a parlimentarian from the RNC and agreed to his ruling on how we would move forward. The 3 of us went to the mic. The parlimentarian explained simply that there were 3 additional votes, and how those votes arose (2 non voters voting and 1 voter submitting 2 votes) and then he told us we could have the podium to let everyone know we agreed with his decision. The Romney counsel simply said he agreed with the RNC guy. I then approached, said I agreed with the RNC guy, but that I also felt it was important for everyone in the convention to know that the 3 fraudulent ballots came from the executive committee of the WY GOP. The silence that followed that statement was PRICELESS!!!!!
 
And, by the way, we did win all 14 alternate delegates. Our entire slate.. But get this, our top guy only lost by 5 legal votes (or so we assume legal). The next one lost by 7. The next by 10. The next by 11. And so on. They did NOT kick our butts.

We had them running scared all day and night. At 1am this morning when I was walking down the hall, the WYGOP's meeting room door was ajar and there was a heated discussion ensuing. We rented a large meeting room last night and the Romney people were doing everything they could to try to get into our room. 1 succeeded. Another attempted and was stopped. Several others camped out in the hall to attempt to figure out who we all were. They were trying to identify our undeclared candidates that had made the preferred nomination list. I don't think I mentioned that we took over in nominating and 9 out of the 14 delegates recommended by the committee were our supporters. This is what scared them to death yesterday.

The Santorum supporters appear to have plugged their noses and gone Romney today. After my announcement that the executive committee were responsible for the fraud, I had several Santorum supporters approach me and thank me for having the guts to do that. We had around 140 supporters present, which includes around 40 delegates. Less than 400 delegates voted.

The Paul campaign did not spend a $1 in WY and we did not have an official campaign chairman. Yes, we rented a meeting room last night for $287 on our personal credit card. The Paul supporters in attendance donated over $450 to us to cover it so the excess will be donated to the campaign. in other words, not only did the campaign not spend money in our state, they will make money.

I honestly had no real authority to represent our campaign today, yesterday, the past 2 months, etc, but I did it anyway. It wasn't just me though. We had a core group of individuals in the state, along with Tsai, who worked tirelessly. The fact that we got as close as we did with no money and no campaign help ought to be a lesson to the campaign. If they had at least been willing to name one of us as a chair and to offer us advice as needed, we could have completely taken the convention today.
