NEW MEXIOC STATE CONVENTION!!!! --UPDATE!!

I'm very pleased to report excellent success in the completion of the New Mexico state convention on Saturday in Las Cruces, NM. Our state delegates represented themselves very well and showed the strength that we have in what was, for most of our delegates, the first outing to a convention. Our slate received 3 delegate positions and 6 alternate delegate positions in the vote by the assembly. This was accomplished in the face of a rule change by the Central Committee the morning of the convention and the publication of a "Unity Slate," with orders running around the convention to "toe the line." Although the state GOP was not "overly friendly," they were not overtly negative except in a couple of circumstances: Two of our delegates were disqualified over a really obvious book-keeping error, and one was ejected for simply trying to ask a question about videotaping on the convention floor. In neither case were the rules evident or adhered to, just the Chairman's gavel and the desire of the GOP to "move ahead." This will be documented and forwarded to the party and press simply to inform them that the behavior is noted and does not reflect well on them. Little other than that can probably be accomplished unless someone wants to really dive into it. However, the enthusiasm of our folks was high and there were a few minor confrontations but for the most part things went smoothly. I think the main thing our folks saw was how easy it really will be to take over the GOP in the next election cycle. Having accomplished this in the midst of the transition of the Presidential campaign to the CFL in my mind reflects great credit on the delegates and supporters in New Mexico. This is a solid group with enormous potential for the future. I think the remnants of the formal campaign and Dr. Paul owe them a heartfelt "Thank you" and a very hearty "WELL DONE!"

I grew up in Santa Fe and Albq., and although my heart is now here with my family, my 'soul' is still in New Mexico. It's heart-warming to know the Western Frontier is alive and well, and pioneers for freedom are working hard!

Yes, and get on the rules committee and other spots of influence. Working locally and upward, we can take back the conservative party.

Great job!
Many thanks to the NM patriots that attended and participated. This is how we win....By taking back our party.
I expect that 2010 will see us making even more progress since it's not a presidential election year.
Hurray!
To all those working for freedom. Hang in there. Peace
Congratulations!
Tell the delegates to bring a spouse or friend with them to the convention in St. Paul. It is quite likely that other delegates or alternates won't show up and the delegation may be willing to seat them.

We shall see our efforts
rewarded next election cycle. Great job and keep up the good fight!
Great job guys
Thank you!
Why
Is this getting buried?
This
Is what needs to be on the DP. There is still a fight going on. The trolls seem to forget that.
thats because they have no vision...for a RON PAUL
Presidency!!! FOR THAT IS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE ON HERE!!!!!! this is the DAILY PAUL!!
BTW did you notice that someone(s) have recently put up a bunch of nonsense non Ron Paul subjects all with no or very little posts??
Why
I thought I was the only one. Very odd.
