Ron Paul to speak in Rochester
Not invited to MN GOP convention, Ron Paul to speak to delegates before the gavel drops
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 27, 2008
Minneapolis, Minnesota – Presidential candidate and Congressman Dr. Ron Paul will speak to his supporters, and other delegates and alternates to the Minnesota Republican State Convention, Friday morning, May 30, at 7:30 AM at the Mayo Memorial Park, 30 Civic Center Drive, Rochester MN. The park features an amphitheater setting adjacent to the rear of the Mayo Civic Center where the convention is to be held.
After repeated requests for an invitation, the Republican Party of Minnesota’s Chairman, Ron Carey, issued a letter to Marianne Stebbins, Minnesota Campaign Coordinator for Ron Paul 2008 PCC, denying Ron Paul a speaking opportunity at the convention. (Letter attached.)
“I put in five calls to the MN GOP over the past several weeks, requesting a simple yes or no on letting Dr. Paul speak, with no response,” said Stebbins, “and only received the written denial following a demand for response via certified mail. So the Ron Paul campaign extends our invitation to all GOP state delegates and alternates to hear for themselves why this remarkable man has created such a stir in this presidential election.”

MN GOP chair trying to silence RP delegates already!
From http://www.minnpost.com/c...
Fwd: FW: Fwd: Turn out your folks, please!
Dueling emails between the Paul campaign and the state GOP lend credence to Paul supporters' contention of a rift between party leadership and the party's grass-roots. Emails urging delegate turnout for McCain came not from his campaign, [RP Minnesota chair] Stebbins notes, but directly from GOP chair Carey. She contends that such action encouraging turnout for only one candidate is a misuse of the GOP chairman's power. The party bylaws, she says, clearly forbid such activity.
In an email to the GOP "Leadership Team," Ron Carey wrote, "We need to realize that all the planning in the world is for naught, if our traditional conservative Republican Delegates and alternates do not turn out in Rochester ... Every Ron Paul supporter will be in Rochester to swell their ranks. Empty chairs will be filled with Ron Paul Alternates. Please take this as a serious challenge ... We need to have a full convention delegation that reflects the strong majority support across the state for our presumptive nominee, John McCain."
Carey's email included an attached email from Stebbins to Paul supporters urging the candidate's delegates and alternates to turn out. Stebbins then attached Carey's email and her prior email to a new one urging Paul supporters to show up in Rochester.
"Ron Carey is now forwarding my emails in an effort to turn out McCain delegates," said Stebbins. "I'm turning it back on him."
"We cannot stress how important it will be for each Ron Paul delegate and alternate to be in Rochester for the state convention," Stebbins exhorted Paul supporters in her first email. "We have elected 7 delegates to the national convention so far, and if we can get the 14 from state elected, we will send a majority for Ron Paul to the national convention. ... We CAN elect these 14 from state, but ... it is going to take every last Ron Paul delegate and alternate. A delegate who doesn't show is likely to be replaced by a McCain alternate."
Carey countered in response: "I need your help to motivate EVERY member of your delegation to get to Rochester and be in their chairs at 9 AM Friday ... In Oklahoma, the Ron Paul people immediately tried to take control of the convention as soon as the gavel went down. ... Please work ... to get people in Rochester who support John McCain by early Friday AM."
Some of those delegates, Stebbins is betting, will arrive even earlier — to listen to Congressman Paul.
MN RP Supporters, Look Here
This information may help arm you for this weekend...and for National, as well. Maybe this will help get to the root of the cause of the MN GOP woes.
f this stinking election.
this election is garbage and the whole world sees it. what we have here is a revolution.keep up the good work.
Where's the attachments referenced?????
I really wanna see the attachments. I'm dying to see them, but they are not anywhere to be found. Does anyone have them?
Reality sinks in.....What now?
screw the GOP!!
I knew they weren't going to let him speak. I have donated so much to this effort, but have had the guts to see through what is happening.
His only hope is to team up with Jesse Ventura,and run third party. The elites are going to give it to the Dems anyway,as GW has accomplished his part of the plan for making us a 3rd world country.
The Dems are going to carry out the rest of their globalist agenda,if they are not stopped.
RP needs to go for it. Him barking at the fed,or General Petreus, or whoever is not going to do shit. They just roll their eyes and wait for their grilling to be over. NOTHING CHANGES!!!!
He has started a revolution,and needs to stick with it. GOP or not.
flame away...
Whoa there!
This is in relation to the MINNESOTA STATE GOP Convention, ***NOT*** the Republican National Convention in September, which also happens to be in Minnesota. Nothing at all has been said yet about whether Ron Paul will be allowed to speak there.
Guess who is invited. Karl
Guess who is invited. Karl Rove.... oh, excuse me.... I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
Karl Rove?
You've got to be freaking kidding?
Well, that's a convention I'd want no part of.
DIsgusting.
yup, I read it in the
yup, I read it in the newspaper here in Rochester today.
I'm going to hear Dr. Paul speak though, and if I happen to see Karl Rove I'll let him have it... haha.
make a motion
to stop Rove's speech at the convention. won't that be embarrasing for him.
My mind boggles
that Karl Rove has any credibility among any people of sound mind and/or moral character.
Incredible!
