We Can Win Puerto Rico 23 Delegates!

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.

Ron has said that Puerto Rico's choice on whether they were to become a state, remain a territory, etc. is a matter for the people from PR to decide for themselves. So he certainly could stump on that angle or the grassrooters could spread that word. Perhaps those connected with PR could contact the official campaign for some info to distribute.
 
Yes, plus after Feb 11th, there is a break in the action a bit. GOOD TIME to campaign AND relax in PR for Ron and Carol. ;););)

Sunday 18 March 2012. Please remember the date! The day is drawing near! If we can get enough people to the caucus, we can win!!! You don't need to be a registered Republican to vote, it is an Open Primary/​Winner-take-all... Remember to show up and actually vote for Dr. Paul!!!

Well, at some point someone has to do something, or nothing happens. This was a good idea, though. Too bad we don't have any contacts in the Puerto Rico.
 
Calling it "the Puerto Rico" does not help much.

As has been repeatedly explained, the reason 200 people (at best) showed up to vote is that Puerto Ricans on the island itself cannot actually vote in the general election. It is a bit much to ask people to take time out of an already jam-packed schedule to help vote in someone who leads a nation whose policies can send them to their deaths, but on whose policies they cannot really vote. It's a very tough sell.

I have asked family to go vote, but it's not as simple as all that. We'll see.

Hope it works out, but the tough sell aspect is very real (to one degree or another) for all the territories AFAIK
