Yes or No - Is a Convention Win Possible?
I have been spreading the word and the message of Dr. Paul for the past 8 months. I always tell people who think he's dropped out that it's not over until the convention in St. Paul. Yes or No? Will it be possible for him to win the convention?
I will still spread liberty and the message, but want to know if I am going to end up looking foolish, because Dr. Paul isn't even in the running anymore.
I believe that this is strictly a tactical move on Dr. Pauls part. Allow the other candidates to eviserate each other, watch our economy tank and FRN plummet in value, while our message grows and gains supporters, when the economy crashes and people start looking for answers, then we WOW 'em at the convention.
But I'd like a concrete answer I can have faith in. I've always told people that we're in it for the long haul. I am, but is Dr. Paul?
Delegates rule!
Actually delegates make the rules!
What are you worried about, get out there and convince people to vote for Ron Paul. If he wins the nomination he will need their vote in November. If he doesn't win the nomination, he will still be leading the Revolution, since he has already won this leadership position. The Revolution doesn't end because the media says so, it ends when we accomplish what we set out to accomplish.
Yes.
The perfect storm is brewing.
Never in world history, let alone U.S. history, have we experienced what we are about to. Total economic collapse. It can happen at any time. The FED and other central banks around the world are trying to circumvent the inevitable, but they have no workable solutions to the chaos they, themselves, have created.
The indicators are scary (buy silver, gold, basic food items, and have a good chunk of cash on hand). Watch the overseas markets for early indicators and be prepared.
McCain will melt down, because he has no knowledge of monetary policy. Ron Paul will be interviewed more and more. His voice will be heard!
There is another purpose to getting as many delegates at the convention, and that is to vote on GOP policy. VERY IMPORTANT! We have to influence policy and take over at every level at every opportunity. Whether you are a Republican or not, the most effective change should focus on "working" the GOP party. Use their own system against them. The Neocons did it to us. Let's do it to them. Run them out!
what will the overseas markets be doing
I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
that is important for us to watch?
Other markets are still open
Other markets are still open while our markets are closed during holidays and weekends. There are even some world markets that are open nearly 24/7.
So, for example, if markets begin to crash somewhere else in the world on a Friday evening, or on a Saturday - we can then know that something might be on the way here in the U.S. that coming Monday (or the next day that the markets are open if they were closed for some reason on Monday).
There are other events that could take place during the weekends as well, such as what has been brewing the past week with Venezuela and Columbia along with the U.S. (as far as I know) mentioning that we would support Columbia. Even military events such as this could be "the straw that broke the camels back."
...
Also
you factor in time zones.. for instance, NIKKEI opens in Japan on thier Monday morning, which is our Sunday night.. fluctuations there somewhat alter the DOW open as well.
You only have to look back to the numbers on MLK day here and in Japan to see a correlation.. ;)
It is a global market now.. we have spread our credit black hole to everyone, feeding our inflation to the world. So it's all a big house of cards. Which will be the first to fall doesn't really matter... it still takes the house down.

Ron Paul says what he means
Ron Paul says what he means and means what he says. If Ron Paul was dropping out of the race he would say so and it would be absolutely clear.
In fact, Ron Paul has already stated that he is in this race all the way to the convention.
So, the answer to our question about RP running for President on the Republican ticket will not be answered until September, at the convention.
Ron Paul has also stated that his efforts will continue as long as we continue to support him.
We must continue supporting him with every bit of effort that we can!
The MSM has been telling us that RP had no chance since the beginning. And look, Ron Paul is the last one standing along with John McCain out of 11 or so total candidates. Don't believe the hype!
Believe in and have faith in our champion!

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS...
===============
Become a Delegate!

Become a delegate!
Delegates can vote to unbind themselves and vote for whomever they wish.
Here's how we win
* We get the names, phone #'s, emails, and physical addresses of each of the 2,380 delegates and 2,230 alternate delegates going to the national convention.
* We make personal contact with each and every one of these people and present to them Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.
* Our goal: DELEGATE REVOLT. We want each and every delegate (regardless of to whom they are 'pledged') to vote their conscience in the first round. Forget 'bound' and 'unbound' delegates. We want 2,380 Americans in that convention voting their consciences in the first round.
Remember, Dr. Paul will speak at the Convention. And, we all know how powerful his message is to all, once heard.
If the event is prepped by us, his loyal grassroots supporters, by having personally contacted each and every one of the National delegates in advance, then, Dr. Paul's message at the Convention will be even more powerful.
And, if we continue to grow his support, and do all the things we've been doing, from now until the Convention.
Then, at the Convention, they will vote for him!
After all, there is no force of law 'binding' the delegates. It's an honor system. But, if there have been allegations of vote fraud and other criminal means to secure the pledges of honest delegates, then, honest delegates might only find honor in rejecting such pledges, lest they feel, themselves, like moral accomplices to the alleged crimes.
We need websites set up similar to the highly effective letter writing campaigns and Call 4 Paul grassroots activities we have done. The target of these new activities would be, as mentioned, the delegates to the National Convention.
That is how freedom can prevail at the Convention.
State Conventions
All the delegates have to do is vote to unbind themselves. They'd do that if the majority are anti-McCain.
IMissLiberty

Yes.
I think we should mail each of them "America: From Freedom to Fascism".
This Is Going To Be Easier Than You Think.....
You will see in the next two to four months when the actual delegates are named for each state, how a majority if not almost all are going to be Dr. Paul supporters. So the number of delegates that you are going to have to convince to support Dr. Paul is going to be minimal.
Become A Delegate NOW !!
Good luck,

Why do they show Mike Gravel as still in???????????
Because He Is
Only because the media does not put your face all over the TVs across America, it doesn't mean you are not in the presidential election race, as Dr. Paul can attest.

I think Dr. Paul was saying,
I think Dr. Paul was saying, you see our chances, how strong are you? You will have to be very, very strong if you are going to pull this off. I've done what I can do, what can you do? If you are not strong enough to pull this off, then the movement is not ready yet. Are you ready, then rally June 21. I AM READY. Let's Rally. Let's Ride. California is about the furthest away and look what is happening to their homeschooling. That should motivate people to get in their cars and ride. I think people in states where we have already voted could help by continuing to call people and explain things. Those people will spread the word. All you have to say is, are you happy with the way things are going? Then can I talk to you about a solution.
The nonconventional Convention
Please don't give up. I've tried to understand the convention norms by reading as much about them as is put up.This time it shall be different.-
There are undoubtably going to be a whole lotta people who by september/november are going to be really p###ed off and broke. I am sure that word of mouth and RP publicity will awaken folk, in time, that Ron Paul is still capable and able to become elected and supported. I've also been reading, analysing and capturing what is likely to happen between now and then. It's not good for anybody believe me. This is going to get very tough but even the trolls, media propaganderists, miltary industrial human liquidisation manufactureres and their dopey political whores will wake up to Ron Paul and the big lie of past policies. (If only to hope that their own backsides may be saved when the crunch comes). If there is going to be marshall law, which I doubt, the lowely insider traitors will be the first to be picked off because they will know too much and could easily swop sides for therevolution. That's why it is better to support Ron Paul legitimately now rather than later on after the election, when it may be illegal, as far as those present traitors are concerned.
As for ordinary americans who bear no malice but are simply being brainwashed, who support the other candidates in good faith, they too will awaken to the horror of what they are facing in good time. They will be seeking a saviour in the face of so called political 'put-options'. Ron Paul will shine through this coming mess in good time. Please don't give up.
(PLEASE READ THIS FOR EXMPLE and apply to U.S media people who will also begin to hope for Ron Paul):-

Good luck out there &Thank you. It's appreciated'.-fip -U.K
'I always thank of all you canvassors and precinct leaders and delegates who were at the front line and caucuses.
Good luck out there &Thank you. You're a gift.
The operative term
at this time for all of us, including the good Doctor, is stealth.
Thanks, for the input
we have no reason to give up anything. Sounds like things will be about the same over there in U.K soon, wish you guys well.
yes
it is possible, why do you think the party made every one else drop out, so that it doesn't become a brokered convention. It's like chess. and Ron Paul knows the game, and he won't say how what his next move will be, why give the enemy critical information?!?!?!

Yes, but
its up to us to inform people of the true John McCain by giving them reports about his action.According to Devvy Kidd: http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd347.htm
Your attention toward McCain
will only help him. Focus on our message. Educate using our positive message.
It is possible
if we really want this to happen and we are willing and obedient.
...willing to do what it takes
...obedient to the urging to do what is right.

We do need to stay networked together and all stick together in this
R[ƎVO˩]UTION with the strong resilient kind of graciousness and camaraderie that can sustain and strengthen us all, no matter what.
Yes, we have a chance!
Yes we can WIN if we have the delegates, witch we may very well have. If this is a God thing, witch I think it is also, then we most certainly can.
I pray daily for a Ron Paul win, and I've seen a lot of strange things happen so far in this election.
All I can say is this; do your appointed job in this campaign, and GET OUT OF GOD's WAY!

If this thing be of God
they will not be able to stop it.
That doesnt mean they wont try.
They are scared. Its why they try to bite us.
I think so
based on how MSM going out of their way to spread the lies about Ron Paul dropped out of the race. I was wondering why would they do that if he doesn't have any chance? Why won't they simply ignore him?
I agree with this
After all, they know what confirming is all about in their business. They heard him say, vote and get delegates and rally on June 21. They heard him say, people keep asking me when I am going to drop out and I tell them, etc., etc. Then they run out and for at least the second time, or has it been more, they say he is out. This after pretending like he does not exist for over a month at least. They are totally still worried about him, so why? Because he could pull an upset on the excuse for a man.
