**RON PAUL and his supporters to select the Republican Nominee for President tonight at 8pm
Hear me out. We now have 42 delegates and will likely have more before a brokered convention. If RP gets enough delegates that swayed either way will allow Romney, Huck, or McCain to win the nomination this is what RP can do.
I was thinking asking for a cabinet post, or VP slot, or some other conscession but then I came up with this.
Simply tell all the media that on XYZ date RP will hold a 1/2 hour or 1 hour news conference to announce who the RP supporters have selected as the nominee. NOW, during that 1/2 hour to 1 hours RP and some very good teachers with great communications skills with charts etc explain the whole FED system to America. In a very simplistic way that most anyone will see the true story. Then at the end he can announce the new nominee.
To determine the nominee he holds a vote of all the people who gave money to the campaign. A simple way to do this is to say supporters go online and contribute 1 dollar with the same exact contact info as when you gave the first time. Give on Monday = McCain, Give on Tuesday = Romney etc. If your contact data matches a previous donation your vote counts.
Now on the 1/2 hour or 1 hour special. No media is allowed to film unless they contractually agree to run the who show live. That way they can't just play the anouncement.
Wouldn't it be great that we all end up making the pick for the rest of America? What an in your face coup that would be.
We would not be known as the spoiler like Ross Perot. We would be the King Makers!
What do you think?
Not keen at all
The 42 delegates are virtual - we have far more actual ones. I think you're underselling the campaign here.

Dr Paul could never endorse
Dr Paul could never endorse or advise his Delegates to endorse one of those men for President, nor would I ever vote for any of the other candidates. I will Write-In Ron Paul on my ballot if he is not listed!

My pet issue is the Fed and IRS. I will be taking off on April 15th and passing out free copies of Aaron Russo's "America, From Freedom To Fascism" as tax filers exit my local Post Office. I encourage everyone to bulk order this DVD for $1.25 each at http://www.freedomtofasci... and get them into the hands of as many people as you can, especially baby boomers and older folks who get no Internet exposure and are just exposed to the biased mass media.
We should sticky this event
We should sticky this event both here and on ronpaulforums.com.
With over 2 months to prepare all freedom-loving RP supporters should be able to organize this into a HUGE event.
I have already requested the day off.

Damn the torpedos!!! FULL speed ahead!!!
Go vote for Hillary!
I mean that in a sarcastic way. This comment could only be written by someone that never understood what Dr. Ron Paul stands for. How dare yo suggest that we support any of the CFR One Worlders. It is people like you who wanted to vote for someone who is "electable " rather then voting on principle that caused the low numbers this Tuesday. I have always believed that whenever you compromise with evil, evil wins. My thoughts are that early on there was massive voter fraud, intended to demoralize the weak at heart Dr. Ron Paul was not just running against the Republicans, get over the idea that we have two parties. What we have is a oppressively powerful shadow government that controls both parties. All candidates, even Allen Keyes (Spelling?) is owned by the New World Order, except Dr. Paul, and believe me, they send people in to sabotage the campaign internally. We are fed disinformation and propaganda in order to "pretend" that the American people actually have a vote in our elections. When they tampered with the totals in Iowa they said the "Christians" and "Homeschoolers" came out for Huckster. Mike was sued by the Homeschoolers in Arkansas, as a Homeschool mother, I would have known that. In New Hampshire they said that 35% of the voters had "ending the war" as their main concern and they voted for McCain? I find that hard to believe when we had the Live Free or Die team pounding the streets in that small state. These loses were intended to break our spirit, then the raciest charges were intended to be the icing on the cake to stop Dr. Paul. Imus was taken off the air, Dog the Bounty Hunter was taken off the air, Jimmy the Greek went to Australia, but Dr. Paul survived because of us. We knew he was not a raciest. My mother, a lawyer, blasted the charges by bringing up the "War on Drugs" and how it disproportionately targets blacks and how these people with a medical problem, that have not harmed the life, liberty or property of another, are jailed, one of the out comes of the jailing of this non violent population is thriving prison factories, the modern day enslavement of thousands and thousands of people. The MSM does not want this dirty little secret exposed. That is why they did not ask Dr. Paul about the "News Letters" at any debate. They did not want the War on Drugs or Prison Factories exposed. So what I say is shout it from the F- - - - - roof tops. This fight is not over yet. How dare anyone suggest that we are "spoilers". There is not a damn bit of difference between Hillary or McCain, except she is smarter then he is. Our message is about Liberty, about getting our Constitutional Rights back, who are the victims of the greatest social injustice of this age? The poor drug user, one out of four black men, between 20 and 24, imprisoned and enslaved. Who wants to recognize the problem and like a modern day Lincoln free the slaves? Nobody but Dr. Paul cares about Liberty and Justice. He is not the "spoiler", every other candidate is! You sir, can go to Hell!
Uhmmmm...
Which part of my post did you skip. I never said he was a spoiler. I said this would prevent the MSM from trying to put that label on him like they did Nader and Perot..... I am totally on your side. There is no such thing as a spoiler. Voting your concience is the only way you should vote.
We are not supporting the one worlders... In November we all still write in Ron Paul on out ballots. At the convention if... IF... IF we didn't have enough delegates to win and RPs name was removed from the 3rd or 4th ballot and we couldn't vote for RP anyway this would be our payback. To get the truth out on nationwide TV. That was my point.
Please reread my post....
Good luck
telling the media to jump through all those hoops. They won't do it. Remember, they have an agenda. Also, why would they sit still for a lengthy news conference by the last place candidate who they believe has no hope of winning when they could spend the same time covering three other stories they consider more interesting?
Let me ask you, how many dry discussions with charts and graphs have you ever seen on the news? Probably none! You know why? The news directors know viewers will switch channels if they show stuff like that. There is a saying, "If it bleeds, it leads." The only way Ron Paul could get a half-hour on the news is if he assassinated McCain or Hillary. Don't hold your breath.
New Hampshire and Ecuador
You don't think they would do it because it would mean the
nomination? I would think they wouldn't be able to resist.
No bad language needed....LOL
This is an idiotic idea.
If you support Paul, You support him only, Period.
Write in!
Tolerance is the virtue of the man who no longer has anything to believe in....
I agree on writing him in.
This is simply for the convention I didn't say "when".. IF.... IF.. he doesn't have enough delegates to win the nomination. Why would you not extract a pound of flesh from the other idiots at that point?
We can still right him in on the November ballot.
You guys are taking this the wrong way...
This was supposed to be uplifting... Meaning even in a worst case scenerio we can still come out on top.
Are you out of your mind???
I'm only backing ONE candidate and that's Dr. Paul!! He either wins or we all lose.
Poll
UMMM, because in the online vote poll we could vote for.... Ron Paul!
DUH!,, we would be declaring on National TV that our votes go to Ron Paul and NOBODY ELSE.
Sorry maybe I wasn't clear on my premis.
Obviously I prefer RP. I will even write him in if not on the ballot.
This is if at the convention (and only at the convention) and RP has enough to sway the final choice but not enough to win the nomination.
Such as 1000 delegates for McCain and 1000 delegates for Romney and 200 delegates for RP.
I don't see Romney or McCain dropping out and throwing in behind RP but I do see either of them willing to do anything to get RPs delegates.
Now RP could have way more delegates than that but this is a just in case.
Why focus upon this type shit?
We have never looked so much better or have been in such a GREAT position to WIN this thing. Something like over half of McCains 600 delegates are really Ron Paul suppporters. McCain did NOT get 51% of the vote on Tuesady and he will likely NOT get 51% come the RNC in September. Then they go into the 2nd round of votes and that is when all those RP supporters (delegates) are no longer legally bound to vote for the popular vote (McCain) and they will be allowed to vote for whomever they please - and who do you think that will be? RON PAUL!!! So why don't we focus on WINNING while we are already more than halfway there...rather than focus on this shit of what you are suggesting. You sound as if you are retarted or something. Are you?
We are new. Come and check us out! Purpose of our site is to quickly bring newbies up to speed regarding Ron Paul.
How do you figure half of McCains delegate are RP supporters.
Here in florida each congressional district Republican Executive Committee picks 3 delegates and they can pick themselves. Not likely they will pick our people. Maybe a few will sneak by.
I am not sure though how it works in other states.
They wouldn't give a live
They wouldn't give a live airing to Ron unless they had at least 2 CFR approved shills like McCain and Romney plus an arbitrator like Anderson Cooper to interrupt him if he got too honest. Why do you think they black him out? It's not just that they don't like him...it's that he's already let too many cats out of the bag.
FUCK THIS IDEA! GO BACK TO
FUCK THIS IDEA!
GO BACK TO SOME OTHER FORUM, AND SUPPORT YOUR CANDIDATE, FUCKING TROLL!
If you were a Ron Paul supporter
You wouldn't use such language while displaying an attitude of hate, division.
Your the only possible troll here.
RP supporters don't have such disgusting language.
I been around a long time and spent many a day waving signs and canvassing for Paul.
What an idiot.
Announcement of support
Great idea. Too bad many non-Paul supporters visit this site and would see the idea. It probably won't work now.
NOT THE TIME
This is the not the time to give up. RP has earned a spot in the National Convention and Romney will be out before too long.
Here is what I wrote to Ron Paul a little while ago -
Dear Rep. Ron Paul,
This is one of the most pivotal times in our country's history. The establishment would love to see you just focus on your work in Texas and leave the GOP alone. The news media and the other candidates have done whatever they can to suppress your message of hope and freedom to the American people. Even with ardent opposition to your message, you are still gaining momentum and steam and your followers have not lost hope.
I live in Ohio and will be canvassing my 14th district heavily over the next few weeks leading to our primary. My car is decorated with your name and message and my home is the same.
The fact that you have enough delegates to go to the GOP national convention and there are still states and district delegates to be won makes me believe that you will have your time to reach your national audience shortly.
I have never been so passionate about politics before and I have so much hope and love for your courage in standing up for the message of the Constitution. I ask you from the bottom of my heart and political soul to continue the fight and realize that many of us see through the smoke screen, many of us realize what is before us and we have sought out your message.
We will not fail you; will not give up in the face of opposition and we trust that your judgment is wise and favorable in light of all others.
Please continue the fight and I will dedicate as much time and money as I have available to keep this process going. It is just a matter of time for the message to be available to all in the National Convention and I cannot wait to see you there. You know when to strike and when the opportunity is there and you take it accordingly. I am just so tearfully happy to have such a great man to stand for this message.
Thank you for your time and attention. My family and future family thank you as well.
Health, wealth, and happiness,
Tim Gandee

Beautiful letter
Thank you for taking the time to write to Dr.Paul telling him what all of his supporters are thinking. I know you just said it better than I could have. We, the people, shall prevail!
