REPORT- RNC To ADOPT THE MINORITY RULES REPORT (not sure if that means new rules dead yet)

[Rebelrouser]

We needed some good news this weekend. Give us the details when you can get 'em. Thanks for keeping us updated!

Wait wait, please elaborate for some of us who are out of the loop regarding Minority Rports and Rules committees! Does that give us Maine and other delegates?

no credentials report is a separate fight but apparently people were thinking generally they'd overstepped. Too bad in a sense because that thinking the Romney folks overstepped might have carried over to credentials. Who knows, maybe it still will since our Maine folks helped lead the delegate charge against the awful rules adoption.

The rules change would amongst other things had let RNC national change the rules at anytime including mid contest, without any vote by the delegates.

That ROMNEY's lawyer even suggested such a thing should be a wakeup call to delegates, imho.

By the way, I saw some tweets about Ann Romney and Mitt 'shining on Fox' so I am assuming they were on opposite Ron's speech.

Led by Morton blackwell, a committee man from Virginia, who was a Barry Goldwater delegate, has successfully led a campaign to adopt the minority report. I don't have any sources other then a source inside the Paul campaign..

Good news.

Ron said tonight that he/we got numbers to nominate him but they are not allowing that to happen...Shame that we cant use this to full advantage.

I thought it was postponed until Tuesday ? Or are we talking about something different ?

I heard that was a rumor just to keep Paul delegates at home on Monday.

Edit: See this thread.

It's one thing to adopt a minority report, it's entirely another thing to stop rules that have all ready been passed. In other words, just because there was a minority report for the Gold Commission, doesn't mean that the 'Majority' Report was scrapped.

It helps to accurately report information. I'll withhold judgment until I hear more.

We've successfully made known 'officially' our opposition to the adoption of the rules put forward. That's all the minority report is, nothing more, nothing less.

OK, now I'm not sure what happened...

'adopt' the minority report usually would mean they chose it over the other one. 'Receive the minority report' would be the other. But I'll change the heading because I don't want anyone to stop fighting.

Ah,ok, I understand

What does this exactly mean? Does this mean that we HAD the numbers before they wouldn't seat the delegates or that we still have the numbers?

Paul delegates are going to show up just in case that's a trap....hurricane is no longer a threat to Tampa, really.

 

[opal]

so.. my understanding at this moment is that the 5 state rule stands and unbound delegates are still unbound .. no one has to submit their vote in writing before the actual vote and after the first vote is called, if Mittens is one vote short.. a vote can still come from the floor??? with all delagates unbound??? oh please say I understand this correctly

 

[Barrex]

It means that we had numbers but not anymore because RNC didnt seat our lawfully elected delegates.

It was good to hear it from Ron.

This could very well be the case, but it was my understanding that they're interchangeable in light of the fact that Sununnu ran away, hence, there never being a 'resolution' or whatever vote to put forth the minority report. I could very well be wrong, and you could be right. Let's hope that's the case.

The rules hadn't fully 'passed' they had to be ratified by the full RNC which usually is a rubber stamp but this time there was a revolt. 'Adopt' minority report, if Leitweis was given the correct terminology would mean the RNC after all isn't presenting their report but the minority report to RNC to vote, to not change those objected to rules. But when we are hearing it from someone who is hearing it from someone you always have to take it with a grain of caution.
