We Can Still Win the GOP Nomination
National DVDs for Delegates Project — We Will Not Quit !
www.dvds4delegates.com
This Project Will Continue Through the End
Even Without the Nomination It’s Worth Reaching These Delegates

The purpose of the National DVDs for Delegates Project has not changed. We will plan, produce, and distribute a series of four educational DVDs to the roughly 4,600 Delegates and Alternates to the 2008 Republican National Convention before they get to Saint Paul in September.
Our mission is to wake up these National Delegates to the awesome responsibility they have, to do more than just hold a scripted convention, a show for the media.

Fact 1: The convention can still nominate Dr. Paul for the Presidency—even with the “Official Campaign Ending.”
Yes, Dr. Paul said he is closing the Campaign Organization. Now so he can put the $5,000,000+ in its coffers to better use than advertising for primary contests that are over.

But the Fact Remains: There is no law preventing his nomination at that convention, even with the campaign organization closing. We checked with our lawyers. Our chief lawyer was the actual Commissioner and Chair of the Federal Election Commission—he resigned in 2006, so it seems reasonable to trust their judgment on this question.

Fact 2: There is no law requiring Delegates to vote for the candidate they are “bound” to.
These Delegates are Morally Bound, not to a particular candidate, but to Represent the People who supported that candidate. If they are presented with pertinent information that was previously hidden from them—they are Morally Bound to adapt to that information and make the best choice they can for their constituents.

Between now and mid-August, we will create, manufacture, and distribute a series of four DVDs to the mailing addresses of all identified Delegates and Alternates to the 2008 GOP Convention in St. Paul, MN.

Our goal is to use this opportunity to communicate important information to GOP Delegates. We will share media containing perspectives new to most delegates, media blacked out by the 5 mega-corporations who currently ignore the Ron Paul Constitutional Message from their news and other media coverage.

Joining Us:
We welcome and encourage you to join this project. We need committed volunteers to continue our effort to 1) plan the DVD content, 2) secure the delegate lists, 3) to organize teams in their states to address and mail the DVDs we send you, and 4) get your state to pay its share of the cost. Goto www.dvds4delegates.com and press the "Join" button.

Donations:
We do appreciate your donations for this effort, whether or not you want to participate in the work of this project.

For about $20 per delegate, we can reach them all. Your state’s share can easily be computed by multiplying $20 times your state’s combined number of Delegates and Alternates. If you have 50 delegates and 50 alternates, that is 100 times $20, or $2,000. One wealthier donor can cover your state, or 100 smaller ones.

Please help get your state activists to help.

Just go to www.dvds4delegates.com click the “Donate” button on this screen to get started.

Your donations are not tax deductable – Please read the Donation page for all of the FEC Required information.

Delegates at convention

There is still a chance to pull something grand at the convention .With a little careful planning this could work.(The numbers might not be accurate this was posted awhile back).
McCain has by some reports 1333 pledged delegates and 85 RNC delegates.Huckabee has 272 pledged delegates and 3 RNC delegates.Romney has 255 pledged delegates.Pledged delegates are just that pledged.The pledged delegates do not have to vote McCain although for party unity they might.They have just signed a letter of their intentions. What would happen if they didn't vote for McCain and placed their votes for Ron Paul,probably nothing. I mean I don't think they will be shackled and sent to Iraq. They might catch a little flack about party unity,but the party has shown no unity to Dr. Paul this whole campaign.But if a number of them defect the numbers could break down a lot different.If Romney and Huckabee delegates voted for Dr. Paul they could place him with 527 delegates+ his 26 or 42 which would place him at 569 if you go with the 42 figure.Now if a number of McCain delegates jump ship he could very well get the nomination or at least broker the convention. lot of McCain's count he did not earn on his own.A lot of the states have a winner take all type thing going. So in those states everyone else's delegates had to pledge to him (hence 1333).But if a good number of those delegates believe they have been gyped out of their vote,they not only can but should vote against the pledge or abstain from voting that will bring the numbers very different.Take the case of Abraham Lincoln in the Republican National Convention of 1860. Going into the Convention he had only 32 delegates,but a few months before he had gave a speech at Coopers Union in New York. The topic he spoke on was The Constitution and he researched his material and gave a monumental speech.You can very easily relate this to some of Dr. Paul's speeches (like Nevada).But the when the Convention came his delegates and supporters packed the place and were very vocal as to their support of Mr. Lincoln. There were three votes for the nomination with Lincoln winning the third and final vote and the Republican nomination for 1860 and who went on to be the 16th President.

Lets Go
