THIS IS DISGUSTING - MASS. DELEGATES OUSTED

http://bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/06/23/romney-campaign-ousts-ron-paul-delegates/3xYwhZ5kbZuRMyMBlXy6EK/story.html

When I read the reasons why, its because they refused to sign an avidavid to support Mitt.

There was this feeling of total and utter disgust that one of them an 18 year patriot who beat out scum will not be seated because he didn't sign the avvidavid.

Evan Kenney had just turned 18 and registered to vote for the first time when he campaigned to be an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention. Lauding Ronald Reagan’s principles and blasting Keynesian economics at the Lynnfield caucus in April, the Wakefield High School senior beat out several well-known Massachusetts Republicans, including the party’s most recent nominee for governor, Charles D. Baker Jr.

These poeple have lost all respect and common deceny this IS NOT A DEMOCRACY BUT A REPUBLIC, their vote rigged primary results are meaningless.

I don't know any reason they had a right to refuse them for that, since they were DIRECTLY ELECTED at caucuses. My understanding is that the lawsuit just got a bunch more plaintiffs, from twitter:

USA_Patriot_Press ‏@USA_Free_Press
@hearthetruthnow -Today I heard from 60 new Delegates who want to become Plaintiffs as a result of Mass

USA_Patriot_Press ‏@USA_Free_Press
@hearthetruthnow- In this case they were not threatened with violence. They were given an ultimatum to sign a pledge to vote for Romney

USA_Patriot_Press ‏@USA_Free_Press
Not one of my Plaintiffs have been successfully ousted-I could have obtained a Court Order To protect the Mass Delegates

USA_Patriot_Press ‏@USA_Free_Press
@SmartPeople4Ron --They were over-confident. They said they were duly elected-They could not believe they were up against Organized Crime

however, it is my understanding they DID sign and were ousted anyhow, so I'm not sure about that part.

Lawyers for Ron Paul, I summon you! this court case has become all the more important.
 
I'm so sick of this shit. I've had little faith in our government in the past and if this doesn't get resolved justly, I may never have faith in it again.
 
So angry about this. One of those hand-tying situations too. Is there anything at all we can/should be doing to counter this move? The hardest part of this r3VOLution is having to read stuff like this and not be able to do anything about it. "It" meaning the specific situation, not the cause in general. Things like this do tend to double a person's resolve, though.
 
As hard as it would be for me to do why don't we all just vote for Obama as a protest vote and give the GOP the finger?
 
So if Mitt can't win over the hearts and minds of young voters, he will try to steal them, if he can't steal them, he will make sure they will not vote against him. Did i get that right?.
 
NEVER.. always do the right thing and write Ron Paul in, but its not over yet ;) we still have a convention remember, its never over till the finish line.

your vote doesn't count anyway because the computer flips it one way or the other depending on who they choose. I actually wonder who the eiltes are backing. They have invested alot in Obama and not sure if they willing to dump him, but they also spend a bucket load of money on Romney, but I'm starting to think the co-opted tea party movement of 2010 and the ettempt to deflate this movement 2012 is all a controlled damage control tactic to avoid full blown revolution. Think about it, spending a bucket load of money on romney who no one likes only helps Obama win and all the red necks blame the Ron Paul movement for killing off the Romeny campaign and the elites sit with their smug smiles, but the revolution carries on because its up to us to educate the red necks (before I get flak for the red neck comment I consider myself a red neck)

We should carry on and educate poeple, take over all sherrif offices and pull our kids out of government schools and start private volunteered based education systems (private education for the poor or the non rich). In states where you are fortunate enough to have gold as legal tender, start up shopping malls or centres where poeple can trade and use it as prove for the rest of the nation.

START LIVING FREE and apply it to your daily life.
 
And they want us to shut up and be good little Republicans and Romney supporters at the convention? Not after this.

Some deal there eh Rand? You turn over the fundraising lists assuming Romney would basically let us have our delegates and the Romney campaign decides to screw us anyway. Just remember this: Your fellow Senator Scott Brown may very well lose because of this cheap political maneuver. Who is going to work their fingers to the bone for him now that the party has basically told its young and most energetic activists to get lost?

Is worth it? Is it really worth it?
 
For anyone wishing to contact someone responsible for ousting MA delegates, here is the email for the Chairman of the Allocation Committee of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee, the committee responsible for the decision.

Their reasoning will be that they were to sign it before they were elected as a delegate, and that their failure to sign disqualified them to run as a delegate:

Stephen Zykofsky, the Chairman of the committee that set the rules for the selection of delegates, sees this as an important distinction. Zykofsky told Red Mass Group that the rules only apply to nominees for delegate, not those elected at the April 28, 2012 caucus. Zykofsky believes that, "the state party was in its rights to ask for affirmation of support for Mitt Romney before the caucuses were held. That affirmation could have come in the form of a pledge, which was done, or in the form of an affidavit. The rules do not call for affirmation after the election is over."

Zykofsky does stress though that he told elected delegates that they should sign the affidavit, to avoid any pitfalls.
