Become a Delegate or Ron Paul
will Not be PresidentThursday, January 11, 2007
By Devvy Kidd
Before Ron Paul can get elected, he has to be nominated by delegates at the Republican National Convention which will take place in St. Paul, Minnesota. September 1-4, 2008.
We have to get elected as delegates to the convention. Electoral college delegates have to be constitutionalists because they elect the president by casting their vote.
Those who support Ron Paul must begin the process now of getting elected as a delegate to the convention or it's all over and the GOP faithful will get the shadow government's choice shoved down their throats - again. The power players behind the scenes will orchestrate the show and the people will be the losers - again. The same applies with getting nominated as an electoral college delegate because America got a good lesson in civics during the 2000 pretend election regarding the popular vote vs the electoral college system.
A word to the wise: if you present yourself as a supporter of Ron Paul, you will never get elected as a delegate. Wave the flag, shout power to the GOP, rah, rah, rah, get elected and then begin your campaign to get Ron Paul nominated. Now, some might say this type of stealth isn't right. Here's what's not right: back room deals and big money giving the American people no choice in these elections and anyone who thinks this isn't how the process has been working for the past century is in a state of denial.
Get together with your friends or people you know and plan your strategy now and work to get elected as a delegate. Time is quickly slipping by, every minute counts.
Several states including FL, SC and Iowa are planning to move their state Primaries to early December 2007 in order to prevent Ron Paul from garnering enough support financially and geographically. GOP Primaries are generally held on EVEN numbered years and it's not a mere coincidence that changes are being initiated and that Ron Paul just so happens to be running.
So how do I become a delegate?
1) First and foremost, be a member of the Republican Party and register as a Republican (if applicable in your state.) I know; I know...I don't want to be part of them either but Ron Paul's sacrificing a lot too.
2) It starts in your state: Click here to see your state delegate process with instructions. If your state isn't listed, please contact your state Republican party: http://www.gop.com/states and ask how; They'll be more than happy to give you the specifics (provided you don't tell them you're a Ron Paul supporter).
3) The 2008 Primary ProcessIn general, it's a step-by-step process in becoming a delegate. For example, to become a delegate in Texas (open primary state):
Vote in the 2008 Texas State Primary Election (March) and you are then eligible to be a delegate to your precinct, then to your county/senatorial district, then to state, and finally, the national conventions. Your first convention will take place at your precinct's election day polling place within two hours after the polls close at 7:00 p.m. Most of these "precinct conventions" are very poorly attended, and typically there are more delegate/alternate places than people to fill them, so it's usually easy to get elected as delegate at the precinct level. WE CAN ORGANIZE AND PLAN for all this in JANUARY with plenty of time.
