Nevada Update....May 30

I read this on ronpaulforums and felt it should be posted here:

http://www.politicallore....

Of particular note is this:

"Now the latest word is that the convention will not be re scheduled like the party said it would, but that the State Committee may choose the delegates themselves and by pass the convention process, and yes it is perfectly legal because rule 17 of the RNC, which covers vacancies in a state delegation says vacancies should be filled by the rules of the state party, or if the state party. Then if the state rules do not provide a method, then state laws should be used and if there are no state laws regarding how to fill vacancies, then the rule says that the state party should make every effort to elect those individuals filling the vacancies in the delegation in the same manner as the delegates were originally elected or by vote of the state Republican Party executive committee or if the state executive committee has not filled the vacancy by ten (10) days prior to the convention, by vote of the state delegates.

Now the question is has the Nevada Republican Party done what is right namely have they not been able to use their own rules or state rules to fill the vacancies, giving them the right to vote on the delegates themselves? If they do go for the last choice and pick the delegates themselves, the Paul supporters will not take it laying down."

To me, even though we risk not coming up with a quorum, it is better to have tried than to just let this happen. Does anyone know a parlimentarian/attorney who can weigh in on this?

Also, it is time to contact Bob Beers (who was the Chairman of the Convention and brought down the gavel bobbeers@bobbeers.net
to ask him to fulfill his promise to the delegates and Call the Convention to Order. Also, Sue Lowden, NV Republican Chairwoman at chairman@nevadagop.org
and Zachary Moyle, Executive Director of the Nevada Republican Party at Zac@NevadaGOP.org They will completely discount what you have to say if you say it with anger (I'm angry too and have bitten my tongue so many times...one wonders how Dr. Paul deals with these people, day in and day out), but we need to apply pressure for the date of reconvening. After all, we all have vacation plans, other obligations, etc.

Forward.....

We are using this website link to contact any/all delegates and tell them about the convention that we want to hold on JUNE 7th....but we must be able to contact enough or no convention....

Rump convention

I believe any convention attempt at this point will hold up in court no matter who attempts it. The state HAS to show that it tried in good faith.

Rump Convention

Sandra, I hope you are right and I'd like to know what you base your comment "HAS to show that it tried in good faith" on. If there is a rump convention and no quorum, it is my understand we will give the State GOP an excuse to rubber-stamp the original slate of delegates which was voted down by 2/3rds at the Convention on Apr 27....as she quickly points out that 2/3rds must have included the votes of more than just the Ron Paul delegates present. What a quagmire.

IT'S DOABLE

Bob Beers, Sue Lowden & NV GOP

So, are we looking at individual small claim court actions if this happens...or is a class action suit a better solution? Robert....Las Vegas Meetup...do we have any numbers and how can we all help. The best solution is a resumption of the convention, obviously.

IT'S DOABLE

first send a threatening letter

and warn them if they dont finish this convention then you we tie them up in small claims t for next two years believe me they ll quickly find a way to finish the convention.

the GOP IS a joke! with

the GOP IS a joke! with this kind of infighting going on there is NO way McCain gets elected.. there is no way any Ron Paul republican will vote for Mccain because of the unfare way they treated fellow Republicans!
it may take some time but slowly we will take this party back! or it will be destroyed!

As per the Republican Party......If it's just too damn late to save it, then I would refer to another quote from one of the great utopian novels, I believe it was Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World"

We should really know by September whether it's worth saving. Watch and see.
