Repost from the Dailypaul:

Apparently the chair of the GOP in the 3rd District of Virginia is actively going out of his way to subvert the rules of the republican party in a pathetic attempt to corrupt the electoral process and block Ron Paul delegates from even being considered. Here's a conversation our local supporter had with him regarding nominating our delegates:

Not suprising. These corrupt insiders need to be voted out of office.

But yeah, in the mean time, abuses of power should be publicized, and investigated by honest journalists like Mr. Swann, and those perpetrating the abuse should feel the heat/pressure.

So when I write this bloke should I be nice? Seems from the script that he doesn't want to share his playground so we must kick him out. What are the plans of action? We don't want to hurt the legal case by doing damage to our guys in Virginia.
 
Don't rant at him. If you don't live there he doesn't care what you think. Thwart him film him, but don't give him ammunition to use against US
 
He says we are lunatics but that he wants to punch a 76-year-old man in the face.
 
This is yet another reason New Hampshire is considered the most important primary in the nation. In NH, where perhaps primaries started and certainly, where they became famous, the delegates are selected by the campaigns, months before the primary. Everyone knows what's happening. It is 100% transparent.

People think they can beat corrupt GOP insiders at there own games. Sure, sometimes it is possible but it isn't a viable long term strategy and not even that useful in the short term. The majority of people, even Republican primary/caucus voters, do not want freedom. They will not support freedom candidates. It's just that simple.

Ron Paul is collecting some delegates. This very well developed strategies are working some of the time. However, I'm pretty sure some of the rules will change. The establishment will make if harder for someone, like Rand Paul for example, to follow a similar strategy in the future. IMO, the best way to go about it in the future is to try to encourage your local Republican party to go to a transparent system that is easy to understand. IMO, it will build trust in the GOP, something that is majorly lacking in places like ME, NV, ND and MO.
 
By day, he is mild-mannered reporter Ben Swann, but beware criminal tyrants;
at night he becomes 'the BlackSwan'! ...

That Woodfin fella is an absolute maniacal sociopath so full of irrationality and narcissism that I think he might be Bill O'reilly's brother. He came on Christ Stearns facebook status and was being an idiot saying things like 'that's what you get', and I heard a little more about the situation in VA from Chris Stearns at a YFRP meeting at my school. disgusting.
 
I might look into getting the 3rd CD delegates disqualified at the state convention. If they want to play it this way, it's going to be long, drawn-out, and as ugly as it needs to be.

I'd actually love to see the current delegate system abolished completely. I currently favor a 'every district gets x amount of delegates depending on how many people voted in it, and whoever won that district wins the lot'.

I've been tempted to try and get the RNC to change this, but the current delegate system is pretty ingrained there. It is a way for campaigns to reward low-level supporters (no person angling for a ambassadorship would ever consider being a delegate).

But Keith, the only reason someone like Ron Paul can do well in NH is because it is so small and they have so much time in which to campaign there.

If things went your proposed direction and more states went to primaries, it would be that much more impossible for a non-establishment, non-super-rich candidate to have any chance of competing. If the nominee were decided via one big (transparent!) nationwide primary all held on the same day, would that help or hurt a Ron Paul? I think it clearly would hurt.

No, I think things should go the opposite direction: more convoluted processes, more hours upon hours of sitting through meetings required in order to vote. More caucuses, fewer primaries. We have the committed cadre so we can compete in caucuses. What we don't have is massive herds of (elderly) people who vote as part of their religion. So, we can't compete in primaries without massive effort and other good factors. Advantage: caucus.
 
I'd call a friendly local reporter and give him the DIRECT QUOTE. Let it build from there. He'll have to resign and it may get some attention.
