TX precinct convention results!

Please post your stories of what happened in your precinct convention in comments below. Did Ron Paul/Debra Medina Republicans score victories? We want to hear about them.

(In Texas each party holds its precinct conventions in the evening of primary election day, considering resolutions and electing officers. Gains there by Medina supporters would eventually influence the platform and party organization at the state level.)

We should make Chris Howe the chair. Would'nt that get some attention, the guy who got arrested for holding a Medina sign runs the Texas republican party.

Texas Toast

I decided to attend the Republican meeting although I am an Independent - Debra Medina/Ron Paul supporter. I am a Freelance Writer and wrote a blog about the elections results calling it "Texas Toast". Out of a possible 3,000 voters 4 showed up and the Chairman and Secretary. Two of us were Medina supporters. I had been a State Delegate at the GOP in 1996 and 1998; I quit being a Republican because of the betrayal of George W. Bush and all the neo-conservatives. I decided I would go to the County Convention and just try to "poke the bear" to see what happens. I have seen a lot of manovering at state conventions and county. We will see...but I do promise to represent the Medina/Paul ideas.

WE SHOULD KEEP A PERMENANT

WE SHOULD KEEP A PERMENANT OPEN THREAD ON THE INPORTANCE OF BECOMING PRECINCT LEADERS AND RE-GAINING COUNTY CONTROL. A thread where we can post about the tactics we run into and how to overcome them. Also, with so many not buying the papers (from Wal-mart) a list of election form deadlines for each state and position. I would recommend doing this on www.resistnet.com. They have already laid the ground work for a state/county level of “leadership”. I am their coordinator for Dallas county, Missouri. I do the best I can to keep the information flowing to those that don’t have internet. We are getting ready for a BIG boost in the next month.

For the Delegate Newbies, This is what happend in 2008!

Many of you guys mentioned only a handful of delegates present...like 5 or 6, and your precinct probably has a slot for many more than that.

Ok, here's how what happend in Texas last presidential election...in a certain County.

Each precinct had a handful of delegates, just like you guys had last night. Everyone who showed up, basically, got to be a delegate. They filled out the delegate forms and mailed them into the county office. Well, somehow an "extra" list of Delegates showed up and filled in the "extra" spots needed for several of the precincts at the county convention. The county chairman argued that this "extra" list of Names were voted on in their precincts. Ofcourse they were not, and the people who really did show up to the precint meeting threw a fit when like over 100 extra delegates showed up and outnumbered the legally elected ones at the county convention and basically over threw the election process.

This is one of the ways they Cheat! And we all know who got Elected President because the person they CHEATED in order to nominate couldn't debate worth a flip.

Remember the names and faces of who showed up to your precincts, and remember if any names were voted on to be a delegate who were not present? It is ok to vote on folks who are not there...but this must take place the night of the precinct meeting...NOT at the county convention!

Watch this video if you haven't seen it to prepare yourself now.

The Media slanted the story and sided with the chairman ofcourse...so general public who ofcourse was Not present at the convention only read what was in the paper were decieved into believing it to be true, and the rest is history.

This is very true

We cant let them show up with delegates who didnt appear the first time.

Delegates can "Appear" but their name must of been voted on!!!

It's ok if Delegates "Appear", just so long as their names were voted on in their precinct meeting!!!

Did you guys vote on any extra delegates that were not present last night the the precinct meeting to be nominated as a delegate?

If NO, then any extra delegates that "Appear" may be Fraudulant. Watch the video and see how sneaky they are...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-fARjv3tFk

The problem in this particular instance was that the "fraudulent" delegates out numbered the legally elected ones and overthrew the convention.

Im not going to worry about

me and the county chair went through the list of names looking for more delegates.About 90% of all the registered voters in my county didnt even vote so I really dought they are even going to show up at the county convention. At the county convention Ill try to make a rule that anyone who does not show up a the county convention cannot attend the state convention this is normal procedure.

I had 3 show, 4 on the roster

I had 3 show, 4 on the roster that we voted on and the next line below I wrote in "NOTHING FOLLOWS"... Its the Army in me...

I'm gonna file that little gem away...

thx

I'm Precinct chair and 12

I'm Precinct chair and 12 people showed up. All four of us Debra supporters are delegates to the County convention. I submitted 2 Resolutions that were passed. State Sovereignty and Term Limits. I was a delegate to the State Convention in 2008, thats where I first heard Debra speak when she was running for ViceChair of the Texas Republican Party. Hope to be a delegate to State this year.

Our county convention is March 20 there it will be easy for me to go to state maybe we could get a headcount and find out how many delegates we can get to go to state. If we have enough maybe we can take over . The state convention is in Dallas this year. Lets start a riot lets start riot.- three days grace.

convention

Only three of us showed up, and one was the county chairman. First time for me, so it was very educational. Did my duty and submitted the We Texans resolutions without debate. I plan on attending the senatorial convention, hopefully I can move on to the state convention as well. I will need to start lobbying for that soon.

I am really shocked at the apathy for these conventions. No wonder the party is in shambles, no one gives a crap.

Basically any organized group could take over the party.

Glad you are part of the takeover :-)

Yes it really made me think

What if everybody who voted for Debra showed up at at the convention we could have easily took over and Debra would be on her way to being our new Governor . Debra Medina is my governor.

Debra is my governor too. But

Debra is my governor too. But is that really possible to do that? Would be great, if so.

Beleave the way the system work

If you have more delegates in Texas you can even decide on who the next governor will be as the vote only acts as a straw poll.

Next step in the convention process

Yes It was like attending Sunday school kindergarten class.

Between two precincts a total of 5 people showed up. There were only 2 in my precinct .The precinct chair and the secretary {Im the secretary} Each year me an precinct chairmen challenge each other for the seat.He being and ultra conservative Huckabee supporter and me being a Ron Paul libertarian. And depeneding on usaully which family members show up one of us wins the seat..............This year we were honored with the county chairmen showing up, he presented his resolutions with one allowing casinos in Texas...... I immediatly pointed out to him that Debra is a supporter of casinos. And that Perry is not. But the county chairmen tells me he cannot support Debra because of some grudge he is holding agianst her because she started a floor fight at the 2008 GOP convention.... At this point I just wanted to stand up on the chair tie a rope to the ceiling and hang myself right there. I did get one resolution in though and that was hand counted votes at the ballot box.

He is a incorrect. She did

He is a incorrect. She did not cause a floor fight. She confronted the chair because they were not following the rules of procedure...

Of course

This idiot is just petty lil neocon. Can you believe that he wouldnt support her over a grudge he held even though his beliefs fall right along with hers. He is through anyway he is resigning his postion in a month. Lance

Glad you chose life !

Beleave me after that meeting

It wasnt easy.

My old man went..

My Dad went to his convention in a different county in Ron Pauls district. They passed all of Medina's resolutions. They thought my Dad wrote those, and my Dad didn't say any different...They elected him Secretary. Hahaha... He said there were 5 other people there, all brain dead Perry supporters. I was reading him the election numbers as they were still coming in, he hadn't heard yet, his convetion had just ended, He didn't sense anything was wrong with the election numbers, he just thinks the majority of people are still brain dead Idiots. I just don't understand how so many people would vote for Ron Paul, but not vote for Debra Medina in the same district.

With machines... anything is possible, even lead into gold!

They were already tampering with votes 20 years ago and more.

In one county in Washington state, the popular GOP president (Reagan) received 75% of the vote, and the liberal democrat congress-criter received 75% of the vote... from the same ballots!

That means at least 25%-50% of the people voted for both a conservative president and a very liberal congressman, on the same ticket, across party lines!

No one in the county would admit to voting across party line, let alone over 25% of the voters! It does not happen that way... it is a statistical improbability!

But, so is the fact that the people are destroyed financially and soon in more ways, and continue to vote in the bums who destroy them so egregiously!

Go figure...! They are not in enough pain yet!

Thanks!

Exactly the kind of story I want to hear :-)
