I just filed to become a state delegate in Indiana; it was so easy. This is the last week!

89five.o, you need to talk two people who do not share your last name to sign up to become delegates.

You said yes? You don't become a stealth delegate by declaring your support to Ron Paul. Let me guess, you told him your name too so they can finger you at the state convention? Thus signaling that anyone you vote for is a Ron Paul supporter.

Live and learn I guess. Not much can be done about it now.

You just need to contact the campaign and tell them your situation. I am not sure how Indiana's process works. You might be useful to the campaign still. You certainly can't be nominated, but your vote might still be needed.

I've been keeping them updated. I'll do what I can to help.
 
I just filed in Indiana today as well. I moved to a new address in January and had to fill out another voter registration form today for my new address even though it is just down the street from my old address. Also, since I didn't live/vote in Indiana last election cycle I have to speak to the Republican Party Chairman for his signature so that it cannot be contested. I'll get that taken care of tomorrow.

Go in well dressed and do it in person. If possible record it. (indiana is a one party state)

Oops edit - saw you called.

PLEASE PEOPLE - for future reference DO NOT CALL.

Either let them contest it, or go in and see the chairman IN PERSON. Don't let them get off easy by being hostile on the phone!

If you MUST call, first ask to work the polls in May. Ask how else you can volunteer. THEN ask for the form. ;) Tell them you are still undecided as to who you support.

Filed this morning at the county building. Was the fourth of four to file, so if no one else files by tomorrow noon from my district we all go to Indianapolis!
 
Called the Party Chairman today who was quite hostile. Asked me if I was a Ron Paul supporter to which I wanted to say no, but my honesty got the better of me. He asked why I was wanting to be a delegate, why I hadn't asked prior to this how I could help the party, etc. The second I said that I was a Ron Paul supporter he told me he would not sign for me until I had voted in a Primary in Indiana. Overall, not a very nice guy. Sorry, guys/gals.

Just another reason to bolt and let Ron run Indy. No way in hell is the GOP going bow down to us.

We don't want them to bow down to us. We want to work with them to promote liberty and freedom and convert them back to traditional conservatives. We're remaking the party from the ground up.

Yes, we should be like what we want to see (the golden rule applies here also) :)

Bingo.

Wait so the deadline to become delegate is tomorrow? I want to become a delegate here in CA, but the primary is not until June.

The deadline of tomorrow is for Indiana. I recommend you call your county GOP headquarters and tell them you're interested in going to the state GOP convention, and ask them what you need to do to be a delegate.

In California, the campaign will hand pick its delegates. There's nothing you need to do.

Make sure you register as a Republican in CA.

Ok thank you. How can I improve my chances of them picking me? Is there a way to contact them and let them know Im interested in being a delegate?

Do I even have a chance at becoming a delegate given that im 19?

No one knows exactly how the campaign will choose their delegates. You being 19 may or may not have any influence on their decision. It's best to just let the campaign do its thing without annoying them. If they need volunteers, they will ask.
