Stealth vs. Mole method of becoming a delegate
All states are drastically different in how the select delegates -
The Most important thing you can do is become a delegate.
If your state has no other clear path for you becoming a Ron Paul Delegate - what does everyone think of the following?
1: Stealth mode - at a Caucus not openly supporting Ron Paul by Name at a Caucus (only message and enthusiasm/passion for traditional republican values and talking it up with your local GOP'rs before hand, and volunteering for GOP committee people etc). This is an easy way to gain support/votes for becoming a delegate.
2: Mole Mode - at a Caucus Depending on the way your caucus works (and the rules of the county/state) - You may have to appear to support another Candidate that has a clear majority (and show your passion for representing everyone as a delegate). (this maybe the only way in).
3: Mole Mode - in a primary State Filling out the paper work to become a delegate, joining the GOP's regular meetings, becoming an active member of the GOP in your State (An alluding to supporting another Candidate that will gain you favor of being selected as a delegate).
--- I'm sure there are other methods, but in a true republic and in times of revolution --> I really think you have to be smart and Plan Sneak Attacks.
** Please keep non-traditional methods of becoming a delegate in mind in all the upcoming States ***
Showing up with Ron Paul colors flying --> May not be the best approach!! Think about it and do as much research into your process as possible.
How do you think
the Neo-cons took over the party in the first place? They don't play fair when its crunch time. Soooo all bets are off in my opinion. If we want this country back we have to do whatever it takes. Play fair if thats what is working but be prepared to at least go the first suggestion. Me? I would use any of the above because it has been done to us for over 100 years.
Bump - cause Kansas and
Bump - cause Kansas and Washington folks really really need to think about this - if they feel they can't become a delegate otherwise (or they get to the Caucus and it's not looking good).
Moral hazard (by wikipedia) is the prospect that a party insulated from risk may behave differently than it would if it were fully exposed to the risk.
