How to Win the Convention- REAL REVOLUTION

[liberteebell]

From the below details, looks like you've got a misdemeanor on your hands if you violate and/or conspire to violate the terms of the oath made as a delegate in Georgia per Title 21. Chapter 2. Article 5 (boldfaced). Punishments are listed also. Serious stuff.

Thanks georgiaboy.

I just have to say this:

politicians violate their oath = reelection forevermore

plain ol' citizen violates his oath = jail time and fines

There's something wrong with this picture

Ain't that the truth!


This emphasizes why we still must storm the convention.

Even if John McCain walks away with 1191 delegates, all delegates are free to do anything in regards to drafting party's platform, creating committees, and modifying the rules.

Imagine:

We change the party rule from supporting nominee as POTUS unconditionally to making POTUS bound to party's platform and breaking the bound result in disqualification of re-election and even RNC sponsoring for impeachment.

Something like that to bring accountability back... and chaining the nominee to Paul's message.

That way, Paul wins even if he didn't get nominated.

We can imagine it, we can do it. do it.

I like this kind of thinking. The RP'ers nationwide have so many things going for them:
1. High degree of education
2. Extremely well informed
3. Internet/web 2.0 savvy
4. Passion coupled with discontent
5. Evidence over the past year that they can together do great things (recordbreaking $, constantly growing numbers, etc.)
6. Numbers, numbers, numbers
7. I could go on...

I've seen evidence just in my sphere of operation that less than 1% of Republicans are actually active in the process (convention meetings, committee membership, precinct activity, etc.). With the RP folks routinely getting 5% of the vote, and in many local areas, straw polls, and online voting much higher percentages, WE CAN DO THIS.

I submit that we must, in reflection of the leader we all admire, play by the rules. His quiet integrity, and playing by the rules, gives him the authority he commands. We know this. It is what has drawn us to him in droves. We need that as well. No dirty tricks - we then become just part of the problem.

I further submit that in doing so to the best of our collective abilities, we won't be infiltrating, we will be the establishment. We are the proverbial breath of fresh air people are looking for. We will right the ship.
Be the change.
Get to work.

perhaps it is time to send the first two parts of DT's plan to our meet-ups. As he says above, time is ticking and we need to take advantage of this. There are still many states not represented in the companion sticky and we need to move on this...

I sent my MeetUp a link to this thread on the first day it appeared. The email with the link was then forwarded to the Western Missouri RP Delegates group.

I have a feeling the "Show Me" state is going to "Show the GOP" that we aren't kidding around anymore.

Maybe start a username locked sub forum for people who the mods can verify as delegates? Interesting for the rest of us, but not need to know for the inside the GOP stuff. The how to be a delegate stuff can stay out here.

This is a great thought. I am a delegate and would love to be included in the sub forum. Lets do this. It will keep the delegates on the same page.

7,492 views on the thread in two days. Interesting.

My guess, some of the visitors are friends, some McCain & Huckabee operatives, others the RNC.

Everyone should use discretion when posting and not let your guard down. Do not disclose pertinent information.

I will keep a data base.

When you have a secured the delegate position for the National Convention, send me a private message. Please do not post it.

You do no have to give me your name.

Submit:
The state
Number of delegates in your state
Bound or Unbound
How many votes you are bound for
Any pertinent information

Those members of the forum that have been members prior to my starting this thread will go in one data base. Newly registered members will go in a separate data base, in case any of them are moles. The files can later be merged.

Prior to the convention, I will connect you with the other delegates in your state unless you request otherwise. This will give you opportunity to discuss any strategies particular to your state and know who is working with you.

This is what I have been waiting for- strategy, purpose, planning, direction.
Thanks for stepping up and leading

Looks like Deep Throat has stoked the fire some

Great to see and my thoughts go out to all those Patriots who are keeping the hopes of liberty and freedom alive.

I wish I was a US citizen. I'd do whatever I could to help.

I've always thought, this movement is too strong to die and it has captured the imagination of so many people. So even though the fervour has died somewhat, I have always maintained that someone would come along and lead the way, crank up the battle to a higher level.

Thanks Deep Throat!!

The revolution is alive and well and kicking!!

Thanks for your continued support! Keep the thoughts coming. Yes, the fervour has settled down and people are getting to work. The chess game (or checkers, as you prefer), for delegates is in progress.
For those who are not cheerleaders, now is a critical time for you. Strategy. planning. analysis. investigation. learning. orchestrating. leading. winning.
Get to work.

Very interesting thread indeed!

However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion - GEORGE WASHINGTON

Wait how many delegates are we projecting here?
