Dirty Tricks to watch out for - examples from last time around (Nevada Edition)





The 2008 Nevada Convention changed the rules to select national convention delegates from a committee vs. from the floor. The floor had enough Ron Paul delegates to change the rules back. As a result, once the agenda started moving in the direction of electing Paul delegates to the national convention, the state convention was shut down and the chair left. Ultimately a pro-McCain slate of delegates were appointed to go to the national convention. Sue Lowden, chairwoman of the Nevada GOP who many thought were responsible, likely ended up losing the primary for US Senate vs. Sharron Angle because of this.

Delegate Training

This is Missouri-specific from 2008, but lots of good information in here.

 
can an independant become a delegate?

I'm 99.9% sure it's no. If I were you, I would find out immediately find out the deadline to file as a delegate in your state. If it's not too late, register Republican right away and learn what you need to do to become a delegate. You can always switch back to another affiliation after Dr. Paul gets elected. :)

I recommend checking out the links on the first post of this thread. Also contact the campaign and see who you need to talk to regarding Mass. There is probably a Mass Ron Paul Facebook group. Attend your existing Mass Ron Paul Meetups to get connected and plugged in as well. Usually you will meet fellow Mass delegates of varying experience there, very helpful. Create a local one in your city if there isn't one already so that other RP supporters in your city can come out of the woodwork and you can identify each other.

I live in the TB area and would like to try to become a delegate. What's the FL process now after they've been slashed delegates? It says they are unbound now, and potentially going proportional. Proportional should get what's rightfully ours but can we still go "stealth" to take others portion? Either way, what's the process? Say something at the precinct and go from there or what?

First, congrats for taking your support for Dr. Paul seriously. :) Second, I'd recommend that you do what I recommended in the post just above yours, but fill in "Florida" for "Mass". I'm not sure if it's too late for you to register for a delegate (if FL rules require registration), but at the very least you will know who your RP delegates are.
 
Well I would really like to be a delegate but it sounds very time consuming and I'm going to have to juggle a full time job and school this summer.

Well, there are different levels of delegates. It's not like becoming a delegate is a full-time job. At least become a precinct/lower-level delegate so that you can vote for fellow RP delegates to go to the higher convention levels (precinct->country->CD->state). :) Sometimes (like in Iowa), all it takes is staying behind in the caucus.

No excuses! :toady::toady::toady:
 
Florida how to:

I just got this info today. This is highly important. Please register to become a delegate to the GOP convention. We need Ron Paul supporters there. Here is the link to how to do it and the details below:

The 2012 National Convention Delegate Selection Process

Fellow Florida Republicans,

2012 is going to be an exciting year. Not only do we have an important voice in choosing our party's nominee, but we also get to host the Republican National Convention.
With the convention quickly approaching, many of you have expressed interest in serving as a Florida delegate to the national convention. The process of delegate selection is clearly defined by the RPOF Rules of Procedure.

In accordance with those rules, below please find links to documents and important information that will guide you through the selection process. Please, pay very close attention to all deadlines and instructions. It is very important that the documents be completed and sent in accordance with the rules.

To start, RPOF staff have created a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about this process. Please take the time to review this first since it is loaded with important facts.
Next, the rule that guides this process is Rule 10. Here is a link to the rule - in .pdf file format - for you to review.

Then, here you will find a document called the Delegate Oath. This Oath serves as the official application form. The Oath must be fully completed, signed, notarized, and then sent to RPOF Headquarters at 420 East Jefferson Street in Tallahassee.

NOTE: You must send the Oath either by registered mail, FedEx, or some method that ensures that it physically arrives at RPOF Headquarters between 12 p.m. January 30 and 12 p.m. February 3. You can also drop it off in person but be certain to hand it directly to a staff member who can verify receipt of the document.

Finally, here is a list of Congressional District Caucus meeting times and locations. After your Delegate Oath is received by RPOF, it will be organized to congressional district and sent to the CD Caucus chair. At those district level meetings, 2 delegates and 2 alternates will be selected for each Congressional District Caucus. This list will continue to be updated as CD caucuses decide their time and location, please check back.

On April 27th and 28th, there will be a RPOF Quarterly meeting where at large delegates will be considered and selected. If you would also like to be considered as an at-large delegate, please indicate this on the Delegate Oath.

We anticipate many more delegate applications than available delegate slots. We will be selecting a full delegation of 99 and 96 alternates in compliance with RPOF rules. (There are no alternates for RPOF Chairman, RPOF's National Committeeman, or RPOF National Committeewoman.)

I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to apply to serve. It is you, the activists of the Republican Party of Florida, who make our party such an important force of good for our state.

Good luck, and thanks again,
Lenny Curry
Chairman, RPOF
 
I asked this before. The delegate questionnaire is absolutely impossible to answer objectively. And even if I pretend to be a perfect PaulBot i still don't know what answers they want me to give.

Seems to me like you are making it harder than it needs to be. Why would you try to answer the questionnaire based on somebody you're not? Just answer it based on who you are. I don't think it's a quiz with right or wrong answers. Remember you can still represent Ron Paul as a delegate even if you don't fill it out. But it's important that they know who is out there.
 
There has been mention of this before, and I think it's right.

Shouldn't we promote discussion of this thread by making it un-sticky?

My first action (I bet I'm not alone) on the forums is to scroll past the sticky threads.

If discussion dies and drops it off the front page, then we could sticky it?

Just a thought.... I'm doing the delegate research as well.

Good point - I am doing my best to bump the "relevant" delegate grassroots threads because there is so much junk that ends up there. I think it would be a good idea to:
1) continue bumping delegate threads - such as the "How We Win" thread started by 1836.
2) continue creating new delegate threads (relevant to current events/URGENT deadlines)
3) have this stickied delegates thread
4) everyone should put something in their signature that promotes that if you are a serious Ron Paul supporter, that you need to be a delegate and a link to the stickied delegates thread.

Plus please also post any new information that you have that we don't! State specific, it doesn't matter. Every little details counts, and you putting in the effort to post in this thread could make the difference between victory and defeat.

Wait, I don't quite understand. How exactly does someone like Ron Paul earn more delegates to win this election? And how is he doing? (To clarify, delegates are what? People who speak on his behalf, like a spokesman???)

Have you checked out the links on the OP? It should become much clearer after you do...
