We Can Win Puerto Rico 23 Delegates!

[helmuth_hubener]

So, assuming no Puerto Ricans show up in the forum, how are we, from afar, going to find those 100 voters we need?

Maybe we could ask some pro-freedom organization like the Mises Institute if we could rent the list of all its Puerto Rican donors.

Fortuno endorsed Romney.

From what I know about Fortuno, he'd be a good liberty guy to have in D.C.

re: CNN debates: Hispanic person in cabinet.

Edit: What??? Romney?

nvm

Still worth fighting for.

I have a friend living in Puerto Rico (actually she is a good friend of my wive's). I'll get my wife to ask her if she is willing to vote for Ron Paul and if not I'll get to work on her.

My native language is Spanish and I am currently living back in my home country of El Salvador. I have voice over IP lines and I own a small call center.

Looks like dfalken is our best guy around here, a potential key player maybe?
Maybe we can make Puerto Rico our pet project here?

I googled puerto rico libertarian party and came up with some organizations. I also learned from that search that puerto Rico is strongly anti Obama and big govt in general. There is a large libertarian base there.

However I'm unsure if this base is the same brand we have here. There appears to be a sizable minority in this base that want complete independence from the USA. I don't know if they would be interested in helping out or not.

I think Paul has an excellent shot there though.

I honestly think if nobody is going to step up and do this, we need to help make sure Ron wins the territories, its worth over 50 delegates...

Pitch-in to send an RPF member to organize? Anybody know if there are any active RP grassroots organizing already?

Only 200 people voted? Wow we should easily be able to get those delegates!

 

[AlexMerced]

I definetley hope Fortuno beats Rubio to being the first hispanic president, cause Fortuno has a lot more to contribute and seems much more a true believer in free markets and such and has a strong showing in Puerto Rico. If you havn't, check out his interview with Reason.tv.

Ron Paul should visit Puerto Rico before any other candidate. It could get us some media coverage as well. I can't remember any other GOP candidate visiting Puerto Rico, in recent memory.

 

[cucucachu0000]

i love you guys!! one day the msm is gonna blink and were gonna have a ton of delegates and there not gonna have a clue as to how we did it.

 

[morely webb]

How about an endorsement from J Lo?

I watched him on Stossel in an episode covering both him and Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin. Fortuno is like Walker, except for Puerto Rico's budget actually went down -- Wisconsin's, for all the sound and fury, actually just continued going up.

Any word on the virgin islands? i have a buddy that lives here who is a RP supporter and all his family is back home. he's interested in doing what he can to help...

If Ron Paul supported statehood, he could pick up support of active political figures. Statehood is a big issue there. I've been going back and forth with some political figures from there and I get the distinct feeling they would endorse Ron Paul if he said he supported statehood.

He should definately visit there. Based on discussions people would be pretty darn happy if a presidential candidate showed up and gave them attention.
