Pro Life / Pro Family Handouts

[mesler]

After some digging I found out the LAGOP themselves paid for this flyer and website!!!!!!!!!!

If it's true that the LAGOP paid for this, that is truly disgusting to me..

Where did you find this info at Rex?

If this stuff is true....

I blame the Official campaign for not telling people and countering these efforts...

The pro life/pro family thing was, in my estimation, perfectly legal. WE had a list of candidates, and they had a list of candiates. It sucks, but we were outsmarted.

Posting again:

I called the people who made the handout GatorWorks here in Baton Rouge and questioned whether they paid for it or not and Brian there said no the LAGOP / Republican Party of LA did..

They called this the "official" ballot. How can it be official if all delegates weren't asked to be on it????

Very true. We are the political novices and outsiders, they are they establishment that knows how to play the game. :/ Still, seems odd for the LAGOP to be partial, if as Rex indicated that the LAGOP paid for the flyer (I haven't confirmed this.)

Yea. The "Pro Life/Pro Family" Official ballot.

We could have made one called the "Pro Freedom" Ballot or the "Pro-Kill Islam" ballot and it would have been the "official" ballot of that group.

The question is... how many RP supporters were aware these were not RP delegates?

RP supporters had their own "offical" ballot.

The Republican Party can't say it's an Official Ballot when they are suppose to be neutral. Last time I check no candidate won the nomination yet. This is clearly a smear.

Here they are the uncommitted. I think our delegation needs to remind them they are uncommitted. Maybe somebody could look up and see if any of these people are big donors. Then we could remind them, as a last resort, how they lied to their neighbors.

 

[Rex]

Ugh that makes me sick.. Someone check the donor lists.

Look, it sucks but we need to lick our wounds, document everything, figure out lessons learned and then work on kicking their tails on Feb 9th. Let these shenanigans galvanize your grass roots efforts and beat them at the polls.

It makes me not even want to be apart of the Republican party anymore

Why can't the Republican party say that? Of COURSE they can say that if they want to... This is just a small part of a large issue that we are up against. They won, we did not.

Well see that's not really right. We could make efforts to be the GOP in La.

Can someone please explain what "pro-family" means? Is there anyone on this planet who is "anti-family"??


They might as well have gone the full 9 yards and called themselves the "pro good things, pro humans, pro happiness" slate...

I talked to several of the Pro-Life people in District 1, maybe 5 or 6 of them. I gave them a bottle of water, talked to them about Ron Paul. Most of these people were very religious and strict to their Pro-Life idea. I enlightened them about Ron Paul being a strong Pro-Life/Pro-Family a few of them said he was weak on that issue. Several of them seemed most interested in being a group that could be swayed to any candidate (except Romney and Rudy). They sounded like they wanted the power to control a huge swing vote. A candidate would have to go to them and promise them that they are Pro-Life and Family. I guess it's a power thing.

The ones I talked to know Dr. Paul's stance and I think a few of them might actually agree. I told them I would send our delegates over to talk to them at the convention. 2 of the people actually ran a Christian radio station here.
