I think we also need a list of states where the process is completed, and probably a Google calendar of dates and deadlines.

blimp!
MUST make sure all our delegates head to there county and state elections. Its so damn important i could never stress it enough!
In pa we are doing pretty well as far as delegates in my area. (tho we dont even vote till april hahaha).
Must make sure we get as many delegates as possible to the national convention.
Make sure in your state you FORCE all delegates for RP to show up, make sure they understand its not pointless, and in fact quite the opposite!

Endorsement and delegate too!
Former Director of Tourism and Acting Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development endorses Ron Paul for President.
He talks about the money and need for change. Fantastic Endorsement!!
You know your a true Ron Paul supporter when you put up videos and your whole life is public service.
Way to go Mr. Lewis!!!!
Bump up his Youtube video. Spread it far and wide.
Maine Republican Convention is in May.

we already had a caucus to decide, the uncommitted ronald reagan slate won louisiana, so saturday should be interesting.
I guess louisiana will be nominating Reagan. we are a bit behind the times.

Michigan delegates
Here in Michigan, it is my understanding, that the districts that Romney had won, have delegates that are to be placed as uncommitted.
Any resident who lives in those districts, may file a presidential preference form, marked uncommitted, and can run as a national delegate.
We have a caucus being held Fri. to elect one convention Vice Chair (to preside as Chair of the District Caucus), elect one Assistant Secretary ( to serve as Secretary of the District Caucus), to elect three (3 National Convention delegates and to elect three (3) National Convention alternate delegates.
Each congressional district caucus report shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Michigan Republican State Committee prior to the convening of the State Convention at 9:00 a. m. Eastern Time on Saturday, February 16, 2008. (The same day as the Louisiana convention.)
Each congressional district caucus report shall list the names and mailing addresses of the Convention Vice-Chairperson, Assisant Secretary and the two members of the Rules Committee.
By order of the Michigan Republican State Committee as set forth in the Rules for the Selection of Delegates and Alternates to the 2008 Republican County, State, and National Conventions
The state convention on Saturday will elect 12, National Convention at-large delegates and electing 12, National Convention at-large alternate delegates
Receiveing reprots of the election in the fifteen (15) congressional district caucuses of:
45 National Convention delegates (3 per congressional district)
45 National Convention alternate delegates (3 per congressional district)
15 Convention Vice Chairs (1 per congressional district)
15 Convention Assistant Secretaries (1 per congressional disrict)
The election of a National Committeman and National Committeewoman
The transaction of other such business as may properly come before the State Convention.
As a non-delegate I would not have a vote. However, if voted as a delegate during the caucus, where they would have my form, I would be able to vote during the convention.
Also, before the permanent officers are elected for each congressional district caucus and before the vote to determine National Convention Delegate allocation, State Convention delegate vacancies shall be filled as provided in Rule 14.
Alternates automatically replace delegate vacancy must be filled by an alternate from same County and District as the delegate.
So, not really knowing anyone or a relative few who will be at the convention, and the parlimentary procedure, I WILL BE THERE TO STEP UP AND FILL ANY SPOT THAT I CAN GRAB.
Other state GOP's rules may be similar or different.
I just wanted to say that the national campaign that hired our state coordinator has been working with the meet-up groups here in MI. They told us they have a strategy that they will tell us after the caucus and before the convention.
JUST GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP, WING IT IF YOU HAVE TO, if you do not and there was an opportunity to be a delegate, it is a loss for Ron Paul.
Thanks Torchbearer for starting this thread it was needed, and Paulitic keep up the good work.

Yes, it is that easy! we just have to learn the system in each state.
What does it take to get people on this forum interested in the REAL election that is about to start happening in these county and state conventions...

Interest in real elections
Maybe if we keep starting threads, with the info in the title, we will get enough people to SEE, THAT THE REAL ELECTIONS ARE COMING SOON.
I wish I had enough time to study up on how these conventions are held, but hey, I will be there and learn for the next time, if it does not work out this time.
I do understand that the old established GOPers pretty much have their minds made up as to who they want to nominate for voting on and go rather quickly through the motions so as not to clutter up their program with others who may have wanted to nominate someone.
So it may behoove you to sidle up to those in the know and get their endorsement for you. Start researching NOW.

All RP delegates need to join here:
ronpaul.meetup.com/1813
and
ronpaul.meetup.com/560
There is a major effort brewing to coordinate all delegates & assist state by state.

another reminder... it's about becoming delgates, even in states that have already voted.
I't the the state convention where the real voting happens. You can't just show up, but some time's it's as easy as just signing up ahead of time. read this thread. i will soon consolidate on a website with others who are working on the same information.
