They see the writing on the wall

(This is in reference to the shameful display in Texas) and they get phonecalls to not let the RP people do this in their district- and are told "do what it takes". Im willing to bet that even many of their own people saw and were appalled- some regular Joes went home feeling like they had just been on the wrong side of some corrupt sh*t and are struggling with it. There are lots of Nicodemuses out there. When it has come to this and they are this desperate as to not even TRY to show a semblance of lawfulness in order to stop the tide, you know the end of all this will be ugly. people are going to get hurt. That same scenario played out in a different district mat very well have gotten physical. A few more displays like this and they will be.

A Few of My Favorite Moments

Right out of the chute, the Rules Committee tried to pull a stunt by making the rules mandated, without being adopted by the floor. The chairman wouldn't hear any objections and insisted the rules have been adopted, despite not being presented to the floor for a vote. Then, the chairman immediately announced adjornment to district caucuses, and a few key individuals stormed the stage to either get the rules formally adopted, or strangle whoever got in their way of getting them adopted by the floor... so all the delegates get herded back into the convention auditorium so the rules can be adopted. Then someone motions to amend the rules, and BAM!, real quick, we now have a new rule allowing delegates looking to be sent to State Convention, 1 minute speeches to explain why they should be elected as such... of course, all the RPs had their speeches prepared and ready to go. It was glorious.

73 RP delegates out of 87 total going to state convention.

RESOLUTIONS

The Clark County Republican Party supports repealing the "Patriot Act."
PASSED!

The Clark County Republican Party Supports repealing Law HR 1959. (Deals with Un-American activities)
PASSED!

*I'm not typing all this doozy, but just the last line sums it up..*
... The Republican Party therefore adamantly opposes the implementation of the North American Union (deceptively known as the Security and Prosperity Partnership) or any similar partnership.
PASSED!

*I'm not typing all this doozy, but just the last line sums it up..*
... The Republican Party therefore supports withdrawal of the United States membership from the United Nations, and cutting off all funding to the UN and to all of its subsidiary organizations.
PASSED!

... The Republican Party therefore adamantly opposes the construction of the NAFTA Superhighway, and demands that construction of it shall immediately cease.
PASSED!

There are many others too.... we really cleaned this place up. I'm over-joyed by the extent that we helped en-lighten all the folks who had been neo-conned before this convention and ended up supporting this stuff after amazing comments from the plethora of Ron Paul delegates... every time a neo-con chap said anything goofy, 4 RPs stood up and shot him down decisively. The CCTV of this thing needs to be YouTubed, it was that good.

The movers-and-shakers that made this all happen, from one year ago 'til now, i am SO grateful and appreciative of everything you've done locally to make the true conservative movement many times more powerful than the weak-sauce neo-con cabal.

Why This Worked

Voters/members don't like to be told they can't vote. So putting forth the 1 minute speeches was popular. 1 minute is very short - being prepared gave you the edge.

As for the resolutions, I imagine the parts you did not type were convincing and sold themselves.

Congratulations. I can't wait for the documentary of this campaign.

yes! Im going to call Monday and see how to

go about getting a copy if possible. Its textbook revolution stuff and if everyone saw it the sucesses could be matched even more than they already are ! This was the sort of thing that is immortalised in oil paintings : )))

I've never been so proud of my county !

This is one of those defining victories that strengthens you for the last leg : ))

Thank you Clark County!

Wonderful news Clark County!!

Can't wait to meet all you guys in Spokane next month!Here in King County we are working on booking hotels,trying to find out
where other Ron Paul people
will be staying.Don't want to get stuck in a McCain hotel for 3 days!!!

Of course you do

A. To win them over, become friends, make it hard for them to deny your right to speak, vote, etc.

B. To provide support to stealth Ron Paulers.

That's good to hear. King

That's good to hear. King county was filibustered. Heads up at state. Check out WaGOP's new agenda. It looks as though they are trying to skip the vote for a presiding chairman so they can deploy their cronies in the needed platform and rules positions to contest all RP delegates. Expect a fight and shenanigans in Spokane. We really need to show up in force. Even if you are not a delegate or and alternate. we need bodies and in overwhelming numbers. If you live in Idaho you should come by and show support.

Slam-dunk lawsuit

Any court in the land would overturn this convention. And, given how blatant the disregard for the rules was, there should be good grounds for civil or even criminal prosecution of the Chairman and perhaps other party officials for malfeasance and fraud.

Chances are you could get an injunction preventing any actions from that conventions from being implemented until the issue is tried in court.

What A Bunch Of...........

Son Of A Bitches. How in the hell do you counter this blatant disregard for the party rules.? They rode roughshod over a multitude of people calling over and over for a point of order and completely ignored them and installed their neocon shills anyway.

This utterly unbelievable and if I hadn't heard it myself I never would have thought this could happen. And after seeing this if the Paul contingency at the National Convention decided to take over the Convention by whatever means necessary I would support that and find no fault with them.

Fucking unreal!!!! If i see

Fucking unreal!!!! If i see this shit happen at state I'm rushing the stage and unconsciousing the chairman. The convention will not continue. period.

(gawdamit!!! i really did not want to have to go to jail, particularly one thats five freakin' counties away. Oh well, at least I'll make headlines...:\)

wninja, finally someone with some sense...........

maybe if they keep doing this and a few of them get their asses beat to a pulp they will stop this crap. Is the future of our country worth a few assault and battery charges as opposed to losing the nomination too a tool like McCain ? I am so steaming mad right now I can barely type. After a year of seeing the media screw Ron Paul over and all the lies and bullshit MSM debates where they have given him minimal time, horrid question, laughed right in his face on national TV this is the final straw for me.

it would appear a peaceful revolution may not be possible

Passing the resolution

The highlight of the convention for me was when the resolution to repeal the patriot act passed. It was even more gratifying than being elected as a state delegate. The delegate success is a statement of the leadership and commitment we have in this area.

Passing the resolution to repeal the patriot act was just amazing. The debate was lively and I really believe it passed due to non-Ron Paul folks seeing it for what it is, and that is so encouraging.

Today we head to Spokane, from Spokane we roll to St Paul. Shhh…the something big happening here.

Liberty = Responsibility

Keep kicking

some A. everyone.

It's great news to hear that

It's great news to hear that WA is going to be a RP victory. I grew up in Seattle before moving to other parts of the country. Show the rest of the country how to elect a true leader.

let Freedom ring..........
