it will be hard to get them to give up "their place at the table" with the forces that are taking us to slavery: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6015291679758430958
all delegates should watch the above G. Edward Griffon seminar tonight before bed, it will help them focus on what we must do...
I have one question: Can we do the same thing in St. Paul in September?
You could, but it works best when there is a committee above that convention you could appeal to...
we would basically be saying when we walk out is that their convention is phony, so we will have the real convention elsewhere... and then make the RNC decide who has the legit delegates.
We have a strong case for saying their delegates are illegal because they signed up after the last day of qualifying.
Now, if they give us some national delegates, we will play nice... because they know we won this caucus...
And what doesn't make sense... its not like we are close in the hunt with delegates... if McCain has sinched the election, what are they afraid of?
They are afraid we actually know how the nominee is really selected.
The complaint which was signed by Andrew Axsom, Michele Gaudin and myself was;
1. They did not properly announce the call for the convention and the deadline dates for registering Republican
2. The deadline date for caucus participation wasn't announced until 12/19/07 with a deadline of 11/30/07 - ridiculous
3. The deadline date to qualify as a delegate was inexplicably extented from 01/10/08 to 01/12/08 by the lagop chairman
We asked for relief by not throwing out the whole deal, which we pointed out we could have, but simply to disqualify all delegate candidates who qualified after 01/10/08 - DENIED
I'm sure someone will have a copy of the whole pleading tomorrow morning, it was extremely professional and well done by Adams and Reese, the campaign spent big bucks on this.
We can plan ahead in other hotly contested states... if those state gop didn't follow the rules then we could have many rump conventions and send a swarm of our own national delegates to St.Paul.
Torchbearer...This former Chalmette lady is telling you to get off the computer and get your rest...You have alot of work to do tomorrow...Make us proud!!
