Ron Paul Delegates told to stay home
Submitted by lastmovement on Sun, 04/20/2008 - 07:48Bands, balloons and the chance to rub shoulders with party movers and shakers are part of the allure of being a delegate to a national political convention. But don’t delegates play an important role choosing the party’s nominee and shaping its platform?
Some delegates to the Republican National Convention Sept. 1-4 in St. Paul have been told to stick to the bands and balloons.
An email, called a “National Delegate Self-Nomination Form,” sent to some 7th District GOP delegates warns them that they shouldn’t expect much of a role or influence at the convention.
Supporters of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul — who won six of 12 delegate slots to the GOP national convention at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth District conventions in early April — think the email was directed at them.
“According to the Seventh Congressional District, national delegates are meaningless,” said Minnesota state coordinator for Ron Paul, Marianne Stebbins. “They’re trying to talk our people out of running.”
Among the general requirements for a delegate described in the email — registration fee, responsibility for hotel bills and the commitment to attend the convention — was the unusual expectation to “contribute significantly to the national party and campaign, $1,000 is almost a minimum.”
Potential delegates were advised of an expectation to “contribute to the ‘TV image’ of the Party by being present, applauding and cheering at the ‘right’ places, etc.”
In addition, the email went on:

what's the problem?
Didn't you guys read that part in the Constitution? Where it explains that unless you can afford to donate thousands of dollars to your political party, they don't represent you, and you don't have any say in our government? Now let me find my glasses......
All I can say is..that their day is coming..very soon.
"Neil Nelson, chair of the
"Neil Nelson, chair of the GOP Seventh District nominating committee, sent out the email, but said he didn’t write it. So as not to “reinvent the wheel,” he said, he used content prepared for another GOP district."
I wonder if this is the same Neil Nelson... Interesting...

It seems like Craig Westover
It seems like Craig Westover wrote an article on 4/18 about the original email that went out saying pretty much the same thing: http://www.minnpost.com/stories/2008/04/18/1561/email_tells_...
If Neil Nelson didn't write it, then we can probably bet that some neocon spinmeister did... Until we find out for sure I think we should blame the man who sent the email, Neil Nelson, since he was responsible for its dissemination.

"I killed the banks"
Well, if they *think so
Well, if they *think so little* of the honor of being a delegate, they should just step down and let us show them how it's done!
They are so transparent, and evidently very nervous, as they should be.
Do they think we're that stupid? Granted, we're just learning all the rules and regs, which they are twisting to use against us, but we are a quick study, hahahabwahah... We will not go away, get used to us, neocons!
Revolution! .

Go and do what you can.
Go and do what you can. Fight back till the end.
But I've been saying for a while the deck is stacked against us in the Republicrat Party. They don't like change, they want to keep us on the path to destruction so they can have their little NAU and Amero while taking what few rights we have away.
If the good doctor does not win the nomination, we need to go third party and figure out strategies of how to sue and get some of these un-democratic election restrictions against the smaller parties removed.
We need Ron Paul and everyone that believe in what this country was intended to be. Keep the faith.

It's Our Party's Party, So Nyeahh
At least the GOP is finally acknowledging their values:
“...contribute significantly...$1,000 is almost a minimum.”
"...contribute to the ‘TV image’ of the Party..."
“...after the convention, the platform is generally ignored...”
and my favorite:
"...the role of National Delegate is generally seen as a ‘reward’ for long and faithful service to the Party, rather than as a ‘representative’ to a deliberative body..."
That's right, folks, step right up to the Biggest Show On Earth, where spectacle outranks substance! At the GOP convention, you don't have a voice, but never mind that -- if you contribute at least $1,000, you get your face on TV!! It's our reward to you!!!
Pffft, that representation idea is overrated, anyway...
.
Ah, the "Church of GOP": faithful service to the party...
Yup, it's about to get ugly
Yup, it's about to get ugly and messy now
This is about to get real
This is about to get real ugly. The time for being nice is over. No more smiles. They want war, This was labeled a revolution for a reason!
We need to support our delegates every way possible.

They seem to have a REASON to be that ugly...
What do they fear? Hah.
after watching the video
by the california tv producer, our delegates have an obligation to stand up for all of us who are hanging our hopes on Ron Paul. Much of the nation wants him, and the ones who don't, don't know that they should - yet. Go Ron Paul DELEGATES! Silence is not an option.
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.

Thats ALL a Ron Paul delegate would need
to upgrade his air ticket to "first class". If anything a McCain delegate would stay home figuring its all buttoned up. We can hope anyway.
