Ben Swann Update on Affidavit: Do NOT sign!

What's the GOP going to do, take away your birthday? If you are a national delegate, and your state has some rule requiring you to vote for the preference poll winner, screw 'em. Vote Ron Paul.

What are they going to do disregard your vote? Kick you out of the GOP forever!? ...Who f*#king cares!? This is our one and only shot at saving the Republic.

I for one would ROFL at seeing the National Convention go into conniptions because of this.

Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT go against what your heart says you should do, just because some other group of people says you should do it differently. That sentiment will get Paul the nomination and ultimately Save The Republic.

With all due respect to Mr. Swann (heard he was a college graduate as a teenager), it DOES NOT matter what they can or cannot force on you.

The only thing that matters is the END GAME. Sure, if you sign it and vote for RP, you may be breaking the law. So the first question is, "What is the penalty (if any) if a national delegate signs it and votes for RP"? HOWEVER, if you DO NOT sign it then the question becomes, "ARE THEY or CAN THEY take your spot and give it TO SOMEONE else? If YES, then you are playing right into there hands by not signing it. This is about DELEGATES and if you aren't going to Tampa anymore because you wanted to make your Liberty stand based on a silly piece of paper and potentially lose your national spot, then in my opinion, the big picture strategy is being lost.

"ARE THEY or CAN THEY take your spot and give it TO SOMEONE else? If YES and you don't sign it, then you are playing right into their hands.

I would guess they can strip you or at least plan to if you don't sign it or they wouldn't have sent it out in the first place. Think before reacting. Get the facts and never underestimate "the MAN" when he trying to stick it to you.

is for identity. The Mass RC has already disqualified the delegates that submitted provisional ballots so they could fudge the votes in some districts.

I spent all afternoon reading. Mass general laws allows for bound delegates for the winner of the primary on the first round. The RNC requires the states to send a list of Certified delegates. Other states also require a signed notarized affidavit of identity. Thats what this form is! As far as the bound vote goes, Yes the delegates are bound by the laws to vote for Romney on the first round, however they cannot bind every single delegate. The state RC is supposed to send a list of the bound and unbound delegates to the RNC in Tampa. You would think they would have done this and sent notice to the delegates as far as who is bound and who is not.
I am telling you they are deliberately misleading the RP delegates by not telling them to get these forms notarized and submitted so they can disqualify them and appoint the alternates that are Romney supporters.

Steve Parent is the one who wrote to Ben Swann to tell him the key is in the by laws of each and every State Republican Committee. If the State has laws to bind the delegates on the first round of votes for the winner of the primary than it legal as long as they appoint so many unbound delegates. This is where they are playing fast and loose. They are using our ignorance against us.

If you think these bastards pulled shit at the primaries, and the caucuses what do you think they will try to do to the RP RNC delegates? We can't file law suits with every state. Someone needs to get this to a parliamentarian before we loose our Massachusetts delegates.

Okay, I'll try to be more diplomatic about this, Ben says DO NOT SIGN, and I agree with him, DO NOT SIGN these papers yourselves delegates, BUT DO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE SIGN your name on these papers for you AND TURN THEM IN. Let someone else fill them out, sign your name, and then mail them out. That way all you Ben fans out there are happy, because the delegates didn't sign the paper, and the delegates will be happy because they will still be selected to vote even if they happen to be voting for Ron Paul. Is every body happy now. Delegates only need to deny signing the paper if anyone at the RNC brings it up, and they have their REAL signature to prove they didn't sign it, leaving the RNC looking guilty like they might have forged this paper which will make them stop arguing about the whole issue once they figure out they've been had and realize they're the ones who are going to look like the culprits who forged these papers.

It is entirely UNENFORCEABLE. It is impossible to be convicted of perjury (though it's possible you could face a charge) on the cited grounds regardless of whether you sign or how you vote in Tampa.

Period end of story.
