Sw Missouri Results Ron Paul Takes Greene County, MO UPDATE!!

No, this is just clear proof that we are the most dedicated supporters of any candidate/group of ideas. We may not have the numbers but we are smart and can hopefully get a foothold in taking back the republican party from behind the scenes.

I was at the Jackson County, MO Caucus today (Kansas City - second largest metro area). We got a full slate (180) of Ron Paul Republican Delegates elected to both the District and State Conventions! We also passed 3 Resolutions: 1)No REAL ID (awesome!) 2) NO Animal Registration ID (city-folk will have to ask ranchers about this one) 3) We resolved to change the state GOP rule, not law, that binds National Delegates from Missouri to McCain. We also amended the State GOP Platform with 14 changes to include: getting rid of Dept. of Education control of Missouri schools, resisting the NAU and SPP, and a statement that the Republican Party believes the US can only go to war with a Declaration from Congress. Now, these are only county amendments put forward to the State Convention, but hey, it's a baby step!

We had around a 65-70% majority of members at the caucus. Many of the "old guard" left in disgust after they realized we were in control, even though we didn't even try to unseat the Chair of twenty some years as we were trying to make friends with whomever we could.

Missouri is looking pretty good so far.

Today was the St. Louis city caucus. I caucused with the fine folks from the 1st and 3rd congressional district living in the city of St. Louis. The primaries have already decided who would be the nominee for the state of Missouri — John McCain. However, the Ron Paul supporters were out en masse today supporting the ideals of the traditional small-government Republican party that Dr. Paul has been championing since day 1.

I wish I had taken a camera, or my laptop to liveblog this account. It was a spectacle, to say the least.

I arrived at the Machecek Library at 9:00 - one full hour before the caucus began. Parking next to the minivan plastered with Ron Paul bumper stickers and magnets, I met Tyson Lauby, who has been instrumental in rallying the Ron Paul supporters for the city.

Now, let me set the scene a bit more for you. Tyson is not your typical politician-looking guy. Sporting a mohawk and Social Distortion hoodie, he is the kind of guy you would expect to see, honestly, and stereotypically, at a Democrat caucus. To see this guy rallying hordes of support for Dr. Paul must have been a very nerve-wracking experience for the rest of the attendees.

When the doors opened at 9:00, we proceeded into the library, and registered for the caucus. I met several very nice folks, and we talked a little about the procedures of the caucus, and just general getting-to-know-you discussion. At about 9:45, this older gentleman with a John McCain button sits down next to me. Being the nice guy I am, I introduced myself, and made some small talk.

Then he asked me who I was supporting.

“I’m a Ron Paul supporter,” I replied.

He just laughed and sat back in his chair.

The meeting started 10 minutes late for some unknown reason. The first item on the agenda was the election of a new chairman for the caucus. Two people were nominated. One by the Paul supporters, and one by, well, the other folks. We had such huge numbers, that our guy was elected to be caucus chair by a vote of somewhere around 45-35. That’s 45 Ron Paul supporters that showed up.

Then it was time to elect a new secretary. The old chairwoman was nominated for this position, in addition to Mr. Lauby. Imagine the surprise when Tyson won the election. Mohawk sporting, Social Distortion hoodie wearing Tyson. The McCain supporter next to me chose this moment to speak to me again.

“Who are you going to vote for in November?” he asked....(read more)

Missouri Caucus Results

From derby (ronpaulforums) - So to summarize we got 252 delegates out of 274 possible. The only reason they got any is because they basically acknowledged we had the majority and they realized that the only way they would be going to the Conventions is if they kissed my ass (I was head of rules committee and I had no idea what I was doing lol) I said if we had any empty slots on our slate they could fill them. Well, after the recess we filled all of our slots. So then this one guy starts whining and saying we're all Republicans and Christians (I'm an atheist) and we should work together blah blah. Then he tried to be sneaky and say the motion he was passing would only fill in the blanks when the actual verbage of his motion would've allowed those in attendance to have preference over anyone on our delegate list that wasn't there. We caugh him red handed and then he had to change. Well, I motioned to concede 10 spots on our slate for them, because I'm nice, but he didn't like that, he wanted 13. He threw his voter card thing at the chair and stormed out leaving his hat behind!
