In PA, we have to collect the names of (I think) 21 RP electors and write them in. If anyone has any idea how to obtain these names, I'd very much appreciate it!

If Ron Paul wanted to be president HE would have done a write in campaign. Can't ya'll let go? Why do you want to take Dr. Paul's freedom/liberty to choose what he wants for his life? I consider it selfish to keep pushing this issue. The Granny Warriors want to sue him for suspending his campaign and others want to try to force him to do something he clearly does not want to do by writing in. Tones

Are you talking about the Presidential election? Barr and Baldwin are the two choices that are the closest to Ron Paul's principles.
Beyond that though, we have to take our country back from the ground floor on up. That means taking back our local and state governments. Lots to do. The Campaign for Liberty will be trying to help us to do that, but we have to understand that it is going to require US getting involved and doing the groundwork. The CFL will officially launch in September.

Why shouldn't we be allowed our freedom to vote for whomever we choose. The real issue is the actions of the states limiting ballot access and voter choice. Get a clue. We have a fundamental right to expression through our vote.

Write Paul in anyway, "official" write-in candidate or not.
I am actually referring to the fact that even if we wanted to write-in Dr. Paul in NM, it is legally impossible. Same for Hawaii. I was curious to know how many other states also suffer from unconstitutional ballot access laws. This doesn't just pertain to Presidential races but all elections.

Look...how can they stop you from writing Ron paul's name on the bottom of your ballot? CAn't you request a paper ballot and heck..just write his name all over it..it won't count..but if you are making a statement, just write it on there about 50 times lol...tones
At the state level for either a state level election or the election of a federal candidate, a write-in candidate is only a viable candidate if they filed for their write-in candidacy the day after the primary election between the hours of 9 am and 5pm. If you were a candidate that lost in the primary you are not eligible for write-in candidacy (period). So the long short (very unfortunately) in NM is that a write-in vote for Ron Paul, would not be considered a valid vote.
So the question remains, what other states suffer from similar unconstitutional ballot access laws.
Sidenote: Tones, your cynicism is touching, but the principal of the matter is that yet again our constitutional rights are being trampled and not everybody takes that quite as easily as you appear to.

Well..yes I know. They even have "sore loser" laws in some states...in Texas, Ron Paul's own state..you can not run for president in one party..and then if you jump to another party, say decide to run Independent , and get on the ballots. It's called "sore loser" laws. All I am saying is..I don't believe that Ron Paul ever wanted to be president. President isn't such a great thing. He will be much more effective in congress, and our energy really should be in getting people elected who can work with Dr. Paul to make real changes. My concern is that those who "write in" Ron Paul may be satisfying themselves...but it's not really doing anything productive because the 2 major parties have things blocked. Hey...here's an idea! LOL...If writing in Ron Paul dosen't count...you could probably vote for who you think is best that is on the ballot..and then write something like "My first choice is RON PAUL, but since he's not on the ballot...I selected my second choice" ..etc... that might be fun.

I might do that myself! tones
He didn't suspend the campaign because he suddenly no longer wanted to be President. He ended it because all the primaries were done, and it was mathematically over. If by some miracle he was voted in by write-ins, I seriously doubt it would be against his wishes.
Yeah I suppose that is one idea. But choosing the lesser of two evils is what got this country into the mess it faces today. I still believe in an American where second best just is not good enough. I hate settling for second best or the lesser of two evils. The whole idea here is revolution, and it should start by taking back our Constitutional rights wherever we can. Taking a pass and voting for the second choice left us with us with neo-con G. W. I believe that the time is coming for us to stand and defend our liberty. Voting for my second choice is hardly taking a stand.

Well..the fact is ..now, Ron Paul is not a choice. He's not running. I guess you could just not vote..that's an option for sure..and people have the freedom to do what they want. I do NOT believe Ron Paul wants to be President of the USA. If you recall, he had to be talked into running in the first place. It was always about getting a message out..not becoming the President. He succeeded. We have a movement..and people are waking up. This is MUCH more important than being a President for 4 years. This movement is long term if we all hang in there and continue to recruit. This is also my point about Barr or Baldwin. They are furthering the message...it's a continuation of Liberty. Neither will win...but why not support one of them...and especially Barr so he can get into the debates. He is the one that has the BEST chance to get in the debates. If we don't support Barr...there will be NO Liberty candidate in the debates..and the message will die...at least in that venue. I'd rather support Barr and keep the LIBERTY message out there as long as we can on a National level. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do , but I am going to continue to encourage people to support Barr so the message doesn't die so soon. Tones
