Great Candidate

Submitted by FreeFallRiver on Wed, 04/21/2010 - 19:50.

Here’s a new article about Kamal Jain from a Massachusetts daily:
http://www.lowellsun.com/todaysheadlines/ci_14926991

I was proud to serve as a convention volunteer for Kamal Jain. During his speech just prior to voting, Kamal read Ron Paul’s endorsement of him – and I think he did Paul proud. He qualified in spite of the fact that it was a very establishment GOP crowd and his opponent had a highly-touted endorsement by Scott Brown. Christy Mihos, a gubernatorial candidate with much more name recognition, failed to qualify for the ballot.

While he was definitely not the establishment favorite, people from all levels of the party seemed to genuinely like Kamal. Maybe some were working against him behind the scenes, but I didn’t hear an unkind word about our candidate.

And yes, we need every delegate! The official result was that Kamal won by a single vote. (He may have won by more as this was without sorting out the ballot irregularities.)

Awesome

Become a Delegate

Submitted by IMissLiberty on Mon, 04/19/2010 - 18:04.

The influence of delegates is many times greater than that of mere voters.

Give Them Some Traffic

Submitted by IMissLiberty on Mon, 04/19/2010 - 17:59.

1. Traffic is how they measure success. We want the media to feel successful covering the freedom movement.

2. Traffic from the DP reflects well on the DP's influence.

I couldn't open at least one link: I suspect because one must become a subscriber.

We've seen the power of one vote This past week

Submitted by poq on Mon, 04/19/2010 - 15:40.

Things are so close now as ron pauls ideas and supporters are beginning to emerge. One vote either way can make all the difference. We need all hands on deck, all battlestations mannned, We need to make every vote count, in more ways than one. Don't allow any funny business. Don't be caught offgaurd by changes of venue or times when votes are held. Get there early and bring everyone you possibly can. We are entering do or die time. A wave of liberty is coming we need everyone involved, let's do this!
