This may be the rule that gives us majority in Louisiana

So, how goes our contact blitz of the LAGOP and RNC?

I think it succeeded in ticking them off.

I believe someone posted to stop doing it because it was becoming unproductive and hurting the effort.

Ok, I went ahead and e-mailed this to Joe Becker.

Let's see if we get a response.

Dear Mr. Becker, February 4, 2008
I have been doing some extensive research as it regards the election laws in Louisiana and the rules for the GOP.
When I saw a post by "Torchbearer, in the grassroots central forum, I posted some of the information I had found.
The LAGOP HAS broken state statutes and rules of the national GOP.
We figured that you were on top of this, but just in case we may have found something, that would be of use to you, would you please go to the grassroots central forum and read the thread "This could be the rule that gets us the Louisiana majority", please?
We would really like to know if something is being done about calling the LAGOP out on this.
It is hard enough to overcome the media blackout without our own party causing us to not have delegates we have actually won. Besides the bad press it gives us on top of the blackout.

Thank you so much for your attention to this matter.
Patricia Petersen



Just Do It

maybe you should follow up with another e-mail to him with a link to the actual thread or the text of some of the evidence torch bearer uncovered, so he doesn't have to dig through the thread?

I am doubtful about this claim, there is no reason they would not have issued a press release announcing the action without going into details (not saying that it wouldn’t happen, but I doubt you would be hearing about it via Ron Paul Forums or Local Meetups, this would come as a Press Release from HQ).

It doesn’t seem likely after the NH recount decision and in the middle of the race; a lawsuit at this juncture would sink the campaign. Typically these type of lawsuits occur months (or years as evidence by Nader’s recent lawsuits) after the election process has finished.

If anything this type of speculation is going to hurt the campaign (that is why RP moved to stomp out the recount stuff). Just make sure you know who you are e-mailing and giving your information too...

thats not the lawsuit thing but that kind of does imply that they will do whatever it takes to show the corruption.

 

[torchbearer]

This isn't speculation. WTF are you talking about?
We are sharing info with you that we have gotten from the official campaign as a privilege to you and to others so you know what is going on...

And yes, the campaign cannot make a big public deal out of it without repercussions.
You haven't a clue what you are talking about... We had a 40 page thread discussion on this topic.
We as a grassroots were lining up our own attorney until we recieved an email that same night from our "official campaign paid state coordinator" sent to all of our meet-up organizers an email that was disseminated to us... and then shared with you.

I wish you had a blog torch, it would be so much easier to follow i think. Though i do like reading everyones comments.

 

[torchbearer]

Never got into blogging, I love coming here because we have accomplished a lot of things over the past year by pooling our brain power and then taking it to the streets.

E-mail to Joe Becker

I'll do that .

Alrighty then, I just sent another e-mail to Mr. Becker, giving him the urls and some of the material spelled out.

I want everyone's interpretation of the following rules in regards to the state LAGOP changing the qualifying dates for state delegates at the last minute:

http://www.gop.com/About/Rules11-20.htm


15.
e) Certification and filing by state committees.

(1) On or before the first Tuesday in September of the year before the year in which the national convention is to be held, each Republican state committee shall adopt rules, procedures, policies, and instructive materials (prepared pursuant to Rule No. 14(a)) governing the selection of delegates and alternate delegates to the national convention to convene during the following year and shall certify and file with the secretary of the Republican National Committee true copies of the same and of all statutes governing the selection of such delegates and alternate delegates.







<if the rules had to be set by that time, one would assume that there are no provisions for changing those rules without special permission from the RNC.
The last minute rule change is illegal under RNC rules and under their Enforcement of rules would decree that louisiana could loose all its national delegates if they don't comply>


Did I read this wrong?

West Coast bump.

HQ should act upon this ASAP!
