An update From North Carolina Ron Paul meetup

I received this North Carolina update in my email today. Read it a LEARN FROM IT!!!

"We voted to recommend 2 delegates to the national convention. Our
people lost.

Of the 157 members in our meet up, only 40 showed up, plus a few
probable absentee applications. 30 of them were not registered to
vote. 40 of them were registered Dem or Indy. (These are round
numbers)

Had all of them been registered R and showed up, we would have
completely dominated our convention. Our 2 people would be headed to
national and we would have more than a 2/3 majority.

Had every precinct done the same, then at the state convention, all
delegates chosen to the national convention would be RP delegates. We
would also have a 2/3 majority of delegates in our state.

....

Yes, it would have been that easy.

A few people who knew this have been screaming it from the rooftops
for months. Grassroots did not listen. We didn't organize to take the
election this way, which would have required no money, no rallies,
door to door, no phone calls, no national ads and no HQ.

There is still a chance for us to sway the votes of enough people to
vote for our people at the state convention next month, but it will be
an uphill battle. Rest assured that I have already begun to do just
that, but the sad reality is that our own people didn't register R and
s-h-o-w u-p. which is all it would have taken.

113 people in our district is all that was needed. 157 in our meet up
alone would have done the job with room to spare. We have 40, and we
can't change that now.

To all the whiners against the campaign, the ads, the money and
whatever the hell else you have been whining about for the past
months, read it and weep. It would have been that easy.

I now wonder how many of our group chose not to show up Saturday
because so many 'supporters' told them not to waste their time because
'it's over, we lost, stay home'."
