Nebraska Delegate Bomb March 3rd Important Please Pin

sweet...worked my local newspaper and got a letter in the fricking SUNDAY paper.

Ron Paul should be GOP choice

Ron Paul is a true conservative running for president. I support him because of his strong platform.

He is a medical doctor who served in the military, and has served in congress in the 1970s. He is the only presidential candidate that supported Ronald Reagan from the beginning of his campaign.

He is the only candidate that will adopt a non-intervenionalist foreign policy. On the economy, Ron Paul is a student of Mises and Austrian economics, and he is a strong supporter of cutting spending and taxes. He proposed letters of marque and reprisal in order to effectively combat terrorism, and proposed that congress actually declare war on Iraq so it would be constitutional.

One big issue in Nebraska is illegal immigration, and Ron Paul is the only candidate who wants to remove economic incentives for illegal immigration. He supports state rights on issues that are best handled at the local level, such as education and other social services. I am proud to support a candidate with a strong platform on every issue, and I will support Ron Paul all the way to the Republican National Convention. Isn't it about time that we started supporting candidates for their ideas?

Incidentally, Monday is the last day to register as a Republican if you are seeking to support Ron Paul.

I love the idea of a rally for Dr. P in Nebraska. I think it could really help us get jump started here in campaigning.

As far as delegates, we definitely need as many as we can get. I just got done making about 130 phone calls the last two weeks to Ron Paul supporters in Nebraska and the response to becoming a delegate has been awesome. More than half of the people I talked to already had or were now going to file. That means about 50 out of the 100 that I actually spoke with are now registered with their counties as delegates. I know there are a number of other people in Nebraska who have done a similar amount of phone calling, so there are probably at least couple hundred of Ron Paul supporters registered as delegates in Nebraska. I doubt there are very many of the other candidates at all really. This is a wild guess, but I think Dr. P could get as many as 25 or 26 out of the 33 delegates up for grabs in Nebraska.

I think a rally would be a great idea to get even more delegates and get people excited in Nebraska about the primary in May. I know there was a conference call with Dr. Paul himself and some of the Nebraska supporters on Friday night, so I am curious what was discussed.

I've actually got a chip-in going for newspaper ads for Dr. P in the Omaha World Herald. The cost is $84.15 per square inch per day for a daily ad, and 114.75 per square inch per day for a sunday ad. Here is a link to view the ad and the chip-in if you would like to donate (and I really hope you do!):

(This ad has now been altered to say "Paid by Omaha supporters... and have our meetup number, 172)

I'm excited about our chances in Nebraska. It's one of the reddest states in the country and a good showing by Dr. P here would really give him some weight with Republicans going into the convention. And I think a rally with Dr. P is a great idea and would really help us out here. I'm glad this is being talked about.

Good Luck today on getting some more delegates to sign up on this last day for sign up.

It sounds like you have done some great work up there.

Go Nebraska.

golfboy, make sure it's actually possible to register at the courthouse. For douglas county I'm pretty sure you have to go to the douglas county election commission, which is on 114th and dodge, www.votedouglascounty.com has the address and the form you need.

i couldn't find it.

We should have enough delegates though. I'm going to give it one last chance, but i think it's closed now. Gonna head back to gi and talk to some people about ron paul as well, some businessmen in the community.


i hope this was enough call to action to get it done. I plan to be involved in spreading the word in the future, and i hope i impressed on headquarters the urgency of visiting a state like nebraska, despite my crazy idea of having him give a speech here or something. I do hope they'll throw us a bone and spend a couple of days in nebraska.

we've got the state locked down.
