How to Win the Convention- REAL REVOLUTION

[Carole]

Welcome DeepThroat.

Off course, indeed.

Delegates!!!Delegates!!!Delegates!!!Delegates!!!Delegates!!!Delegates!!!

It is the delegates and only the delegates that will determine the winner of the Republican nomination. McCain and Huckabee's campaign know this and they are working in this direction. You should be too.

Unbound delegates may vote for whom they like.

Bound delegates may hope for a brokered convention, or they may choose to go in opposition of party rules and vote for the candidate of their choice.

QFT.

People need to realize that the "rules" really are breakable in this case. I'm sure we'll all figure it out / be told about it as the convention gets closer.

 

[DeepThroat]

knowing we need delegates is one thing, and that has been trumpeted by us and hq for a long while now.

1. HOW does the regular layperson BECOME A DELEGATE?
a. What states are open to us?
1. For instance, I am one in Cali - but I am not free to vote because my country/district didn't win.

2. What states are we lacking in?

I think our troops need a litttle more direction.

Each state Republican Committee runs autonomously from the National Republican Committee.

This means that each state GOP Committee makes their own rules. California will be different from Texas will be different from New York. Everyone must become familiar with the rules in their own state.

The recent primaries have given allocations of delegates to candidates. There is no guarantee that the delegates will actually vote for the candidate that won their state. Various rules apply to different states.

As an example:
Some states that have had their primaries will now choose their delegates. If you want to become a delegate, you will get the petition for delegate from you state party or Board of Elections, get your required number of signatures and then be placed on the ballot for an upcoming Republican Primary where you will be voted in as a delegate.

**Each state varies on how the selection of delegates is conducted. You must become familiar with the rules in your state.**

Contact your state GOP to get the rules in your state. It may even be on the state GOP website.

How can we get this through peoples' heads???

Repetition.

Until they understand.

 

[NEPA_Revolution]

Repetition.

Until they understand.

Thats how the MSM works.

 

[DeepThroat]

So bound delegates revolt against the system and vote for Ron Paul?

Sounds like a good idea.

Are you Revolutionaries?

Check the rules of delegates with your state party.

What would happen? Censure?

Can you live with that?


Make history.

I just voted at the Michigan state convention. Out of 14 or 16 (I forget) delegates, 2 were committed to McCain, 2 for Huckabee. The rest were uncommitted. However, 1 uncommitted was a Romney, and 1 other uncommitted person introduced Mrs. Huckabee before her speech (which probably didn't please the the Republican convention who have been pushing McCain).

I did the math and voted for no to all of them. It was an all or nothing vote. However, I was in the minority, so they are all going.

This was my first foray into this Republican convention. Getting involved in the Republican party from the inside takes dedication and LOTS of ass kissing for a long time. Getting to know the "regulars" takes years. If I was on the inside, I probably would know which way the uncommitted people were going to vote. For me, it was a great learning experience. I'm just not the one to deal with another layer of beauracracy.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that only the Republican regulars go to the National convention.

Exactly.

These are party rules, not the law.

Oh, really?



From what I understand, all delegates are created equal.

We had our county mass precinct meetings today down here in GA. Got lots of RP delegates in Cobb County!

That's because only the Republican Regulars played the game.

Up until now.

 

[DeepThroat]

So I take it the DC Mega Rally is a good idea, for building additional momentum, as long as remaining states do not lose their focus from winning delegates.

Speaking of delegates, are you aware what has been going on in Louisiana

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=121122

Seems, "We been robbed!!!"

Yes. The DC Rally is a good idea. It will keep everyone energized about the campaign. You are alive and well.

It will also be a good time to network with others from your own state.

The important thing is not to let this detract you from your goal of collecting delegates.

That is the most important thing in achieving victory.

I am a Republican and am within the party.

I have seen the belly of the beast.

Many of us in the party are angry about what has happened. We know the game.

Romney's people will never do it. Giuliani's people will never do it. They are beholden to the party. Only you can and will.

Your campaign has been taken off course. Whether you realize it or not, your opportunity to win the nomination is now greater than ever. Take hold of the reigns.

Steady mind and steady planning.

Huckabee is your saving grace for he will drive the wedge within the party line. Do not be sidetracked. Do not be despondent. Do not be afraid.

Win.

The focus now, should be to receive delegate votes at the Convention. Ideally, the RPHQs should be working with you to bring delegates on board. They probably are not doing this so it is up to you.

It is the delegates and only the delegates that will determine the winner of the Republican nomination. McCain and Huckabee's campaign know this and they are working in this direction. You should be too.

Unbound delegates may vote for whom they like.

Bound delegates may hope for a brokered convention, or they may choose to go in opposition of party rules and vote for the candidate of their choice.

One thing is for sure. You will never be able to vote for RP if you are not there as a delegate.

Does a Revolution wilt away at the first sign of defeat? No.

YOU are your only hope for the future. This is your opportunity to win and only RP supporters have the fortitude to do it. This should be the direction you work in. It is not over.

Think.
Plan.
Organize.
Act.
Win!

Good luck.

Ok, so here is a logical question- what are we supposed to do about the corruption within your organization when they lock out potential RP delegates (i.e. Louisiana)?

Is there a 'deep throat' group within the GOP that is silently pushing Ron Paul, or are we truly on our own to spear the beast?

Here is the honest answer.

You are on your own to fight the beast of your state GOP Committee. I do not know the particulars of what happened in Louisiana but would guess that any kind of foul play is not new, especially in Louisiana. Have you contacted the AG? It may take the threat of a lawsuit to set them straight. It's not the first time the powers that be have tried to stack a convention.

The "deep throat" group from within the party are those that are angry that each of their candidates have made a deal with the devil and dropped out directing them to vote for McCain.

There are those that will never vote for McCain, in spite of how much the party leadership pushes it.

It will be those people that will work against the party and McCain. Some may vote for Huckabee and some Paul.

You have a very angry bunch, they may very well vote for Paul, just to spite the others.

Your greatest chance now, is that Huckabee doesn't drop out. His leaving before the convention will make it very difficult for you.

I have met those that like Ron Paul.

They did not endorse RP because they were towing the party line.

Some of those people have now been smacked across the face, twice.

The Giuliani supporters that switched to Romney after Rudy dropped out, had the added pleasure of having Mitt abandon them.

Some have joined the McCain camp. Others will begin to stump for Paul.

Regardless of who does what with who. The point is, you can take over the National Convention, if you have the delegates.

Please pay close attention to what deepThroat is saying. This game is far from over.
Not until the fat lady sings! How many big games are won in the last two minutes? This is the biggest game in our lifetimes; this is for our country.

I was County Chair in the GOP for many years. I also know this beast from the inside.
There are a lot of good people in here, but so many are totally brainwashed.
Also, there are not a few who understand what is really going on and can be expected to come on board for Ron if we do not falter.

Right now, focus on one thing only - GOP Delegates...In our state we are pulling out all stops to get as many as possible. Don't fall for the MSM line that "it's over".

Double, triple your efforts....One goal: win that convention vote for Ron Paul.

I know this has been asked before but...forgive me...if your primary is over, there is no way to become a delagate? I am in SC. It's hard to sit on the sidelines.

If the answer is no, what can we sideliners be doing in the mean-time?

Not necessarily true.

There are states that have held their primary and not yet chosen their delegates.

The primary and the delegate election process are two separate events.

Every state GOP sets their own rules. Contact your state GOP committee to get the facts.
