you...attend. I was chosen as a volunteer at the National Convention but I declined do to getting to go as a guest. I still wonder what the advantages would be volunteering at the convention, being chosen as staff.
I also wonder what Ron Paul wants his delegates to do at the Republican Convention. I had this conversation with delegates who wondered as well.

of course you would not
of course you would not volunteer if you are a delegate, go as a delegate and say your peace, vote your consciense and vote for the all important platforms....As a volunteer you might very well do some good for next time, they will see you and elect you a delegate for future....
Volunteers at RNC
Delegates and alternates only total 5500. Add guests and you still have less than 10,000. (Not everyone will bring a guest). But volunteers add another 8000-10,000! It takes 10,000 people to process 10,000 people? This is illogical. They need a larger crowd than 10,000 for TV. My guess is they have volunteers work a short shift and otherwise free them to fill the arena. I don't have experience but it's the only thing that makes sense to me. I don't understand why Paul supporters in mass aren't going crazy to fill the volunteer slots so they can protest from within. I would think it would be a nationwide goal.
A lot of us volunteered months ago...
I had several emails from the rnc thanking me and they would be in touch to use me, but to date have heard nothing back from them.
Have any other volunteers heard anything? If you were selected when did you recieve word?
Thanks
I agree....except for the convention that Ron Paul is having...
this seems to be the most important thing you could be doing....
I
would do it
