Reality Check: Why all RNC delegates are 'Free Agents' and unbound

[lib3rtarian]

The marching orders are clear - GET EVERY DELEGATE WE CAN! Don't even give up on states where we think we have no chance - CT, NJ, NC etc..

***huge grin****

Of course both Paul and Romney already know this. Explains Romney's panic. I had a feeling this was the case. Everytime I see someone from the campaign talk about delegates they always look like there's just something else they are not saying and they are amused by it. Like a cat playing with a mouse before going in for the kill .

We won

We WIN!. Omg with that statement about the 2008 Utah thing its over. We have that on legal files. Too excited right now lol. We might win on the first ballot if we can get every delegate to know they are unbound.

Leave it to Ben. Great find Ben.

I'm confident they have known this long before we did .

btw, are we gonna hire our own thugs to counter romney thugs who will be at tampa (black hat/white star)? we need some vets or bulky fellows to protect everyone from romney thugs.

if they cant push around ron paul people, they might push around santorum/gingrich people to vote for romney. we need santorum/gingrich delegates!

There will hopefully be 1000+ veterans there in support of Dr. Paul. Adam Kokesh is organizing a movement to get as many there as possible.

SO all delegates are unbound?

The word "motion" is a noun. To say that someone "will motion" is like saying they "will highway" or "will window" or "will lizard". The correct term instead of "motion" here is "move" - "They will move".

I wish more people on this forum were more interested in the English language instead of tearing it to shreds all the time.

you need to reality check that post bro. Motion can be used as a noun or verb.

Motion can be used as a noun or a verb. However, in parliamentary procedure, "move" is the verb usually applied. Ex: "I move to amend the rules."

Motioned is generally applied as a physical gesture. Ex: "He motioned to the crowd to stay silent by placing a finger upon his lips."

HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE news! Thank you Ben for this wonderful report. I think this evidence trumps all. The RNC says all delegates are unbound, therefore they cannot cry foul when Ron Paul takes the nomination on August. So a brokered convention probably won't happen since Ron will get the nomination on the first ballot since every delegate can vote their conscience. I think the most important thing is letting delegates know they can vote for whomever on the first ballot. I remember reading that leaders in Massachusetts and Nevada saying they'll obey the bound rules. well hopefully they'll see this report.

I give you 50%. In legal proceedings a motion is an application, oral or written, made to a court for a ruling and in parliamentary procedures a motion is a formal proposal.

I give you 50%. In legal proceedings a motion is an application, oral or written, made to a court for a ruling and in parliamentary procedures a motion is a formal proposal.

But you still don't 'motion', you 'file a motion' or you 'move a motion' or 'propose a motion'.

 

[Kregisen]

If this were to be true, do how good of a chance do we have at getting 50% of the delegates? Obviously in the caucus states where (to me) it seems like becoming a delegate is an easier process, we are getting the majority of them. But 3/4 of the states are primaries and I feel it would still be hard to get half of them.

I hope this news inspires people to get on phone from home

What about alternates? I heard that a delegate could be replaced by an alternate if they make any trouble. Is that only if they were to abstain from voting? This would be voting directly for Ron Paul.

Delegates won't be making trouble. They will be following the rules and voting Ron Paul.

 

[weilian]

But you still don't 'motion', you 'file a motion' or you 'move a motion' or 'propose a motion'.

Its more common to say i move to blah blah but i make a motion to blah blah is also entirely correct.
