This may be the rule that gives us majority in Louisiana

Guys, I have a question. These are NATIONAL Republican National Committee rules, right? Don't these also apply to Nevada, where rules and caucus locations were changed as little as two weeks before caucus day, and voters were sent misinformation about where/how to participate?

Yes, so a successful case in louisiana, could benefit a case in nevada.
 
you read it correctly. their rules had to have been set in stone last september.

is the campaign aware of this item?
 
Brent - PM sent - might be valuable - let me know if you didn't get it - I'll let SC know as well - I have her number

I emailed her with the thread and other info and called to make sure she notices the email.

I've passed one thing on to her before to forward - this is the second.

She has very good judgment and will handle it properly I'm sure.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Get it out to any in the campaign.

I'll update everyone when I hear back from William Goode.
 
Don't forget the fact that the National Republican Committeewoman , an AUTOMATIC delegate also put her name on an ELECTED ballot for Dist 5 in order to get a full McCain slate. The most horribly blatant middle finger at the RNC rules ever!
 
Brent, I'm a pissed off delegate too. Should I email some other delegates about this?

yes!!! :)
 
In case you missed it earlier in the thread:
I sent this email:

I've been robbed of a state alternate delegate spot, along with many other people because of some fishy/ fraud like activity conducted by the LAGOP.

Here is kind of my layman's summary of the institutional laws i'm looking at... what my grievances are... and info i'd need to prove my case.

If you don't handle these kinds of cases.. could you refer me to someone who can...



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



RULE NO. 14
Participation

(a) The Republican National Committee shall assist the states in their efforts to inform all citizens as to how they may participate in delegate selection procedures.
The states, in cooperation with the Republican National Committee, shall prepare instructive material on delegate selection methods and make it available for distribution.






RULE NO. 15
Election of Delegates and Alternate Delegates


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.


RULE NO. 16
Enforcement of Rules

If a state or state party is determined to be in violation:

(1) No member of the Republican National Committee from the offending state
shall be permitted to serve as a delegate or alternate delegate to the national convention.

(2) After the Republican National Committee members are excluded from being part of the offending state’s delegation to the national convention,
the state party shall determine which of the state’s remaining delegates (and corresponding alternate delegates)
are entitled to serve as part of the state’s reduced delegation to the national convention.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHORT answer:


On or before the first Tuesday in September,
each Republican state committee shall adopt rules, procedures, policies, and instructive materials,

inform all citizens as to how they may participate, make it available for distribution,

and shall certify and file with the secretary of the Republican National Committee true copies of the same.


If a state or state party is determined to be in violation,

no member of the Republican National Committee from the offending state shall be permitted to serve
as a delegate or alternate delegate to the national convention.


The state party shall determine which of the state’s remaining delegates and alternate delegates are entitled to serve
as part of the state’s delegation.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



My grievances that can be proven:



1. The LAGOP changed the dates of delegate qualification at the last minute to allow for more opposition delegates to be added once they saw our huge slate of candidates when RNC rules declare they must be set in Sept.
2. They did not notify the citizens of how to participate
3. Having a voter list up to Nov 1 at a caucus whose rules stated you had to registered by Nov 30th. They knew via the SOS that there was a huge influx of republican in November, why would they not have a list up to november 30th if it wasnt to disenfranchise.
4.Automatic Delegates running as unelected delegates on the ballots to keep spots away from other delegates.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



What I need to prove my case:



What I need: The LAGOP filing with the RNC regarding its caucus selection process in September.
Also- official copy of LAGOP party by-laws regarding the elections of state delegates.

I sent Bill Goode and his assistant Jeff emails of the above stuff I post.
I've been in contact with them a lot over the last year helping them with a 175mill lawsuit against the Rapides Parish Sheriff's department on behalf of my sister's fiance.
I'm confident I will get a response as soon as they check it.
It would be rude for me to disturb them on holiday. I know the importance... but at least in this culture, you won't get much done being rude.
 
Be prepared for a chipin if Bill decides to take the case.
He will most likely need a $10,000 retainer to start the case.
He is worth it... this guy doesn't lose. He's a former federal magistrate who enjoys sticking it to the man.
