Delegates

Untitled. August 27, 2012 Las Vegas, Nevada In an emergency meeting held tonight via teleconference, the Executive Board of the Clark County Republican Party, the largest county Republican Party in Nevada (and one of the largest county parties in the United States), voted to formally and urgently call upon the delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention to reject certain new rules that have been proposed by the convention's Committee on Rules and Order of Business. The new proposals, crafted by lobbyist and political consultant Benjamin Ginsberg (and approved by the Rules Committee on a narrow margin), would empower the Republican National Committee to change the party rules in-between national conventions, thereby destroying the system of checks and balances imperative to preventing tyrannical control of our party. The Clark County Republican Party refuses to stand idly by and allow this Marxist style power grab to go unnoticed. A copy of the resolution can be found here:

Ron Paul supporters are not Republicans and they should not attend the GOP convention. Eric Golub LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2012 – The idea of expressing policy views politely is lost on many of Ron Paul’s supporters. This is proven in reading the comments they leave to any article that veers from their narrow ideology tract. This is not about making them mad.

This is about policy, and only policy. Paul supporters complain that a few bad apples discredit the entire movement and this may be true. They are not always wrong about this, but one charge against them that they freely admit to is disloyalty. The following words accurately describe the overwhelming majority of Ron Paul supporters. “I will not vote for anybody other than Ron Paul. Ron Paul supporters have decided to hold a Libertarian lovefest in Tampa, Florida, on the days directly preceding the GOP Convention. However, their event ends on August 26th. It is not a Ron Paul or Libertarian Convention. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable at this point to ban Ron Paul supporters from the GOP Convention. That’s right.

If you are unaware, thusfar, regarding what’s transpired in Clark County, Nevada, here’s the skinny:Ron Paul delegates, once again, TOOK IT HOME.

The State’s GOP has accepted this. It is, after all, the voice of the people who cared enough to be delegates that voted-in Paul as their nominee. And, Vegas, via or along with the RNC (Reince Priebus) has decided to simply NOT accept this. The RNC chairman; Reince Priebus (sp? So, to make it clear to ALL, Clark County (CCRP) has passed a RESOLUTION to Rule-11a, and this is it: RNC Rule 11(a) Resolution WHEREAS the clear intent of Rule 11(a) is to ensure a fair, unbiased process for determining which candidates will receive the endorsement and support of the RNC during general elections; and WHEREAS multiple viable candidates are still actively campaigning for the Republican Nomination for President of the United States; and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that: 1. 2. 3.

Clark County Republican Party May 15, 2012 Now, what will this mean? Like this: Jen's Pen: Wayne Terhune's Response Regarding the National Convention. The Nevada Republican Party (NRP) Executive Board passed a censure of the Nevada Delegation Chairman, Wayne Terhune, and of the Nevada Delegates who chose to unbind. Before passing this censure, the NRP E-Board did not contact the Delegation Chairman to find out "his side" of the story. In fact, they did not even officially notify him that the censure was passed.

It is only common decency that a person be allowed to answer accusations leveled against them before judgement is passed. However, the NRP E-Board did not allow my father, Wayne Terhune, that opportunity. So, he is now responding to the censure here. We sincerely ask that all Nevada Republicans allow him to make his case before condemning his actions. Following is my father's response... Nevada Republicans, As you may recall, I was the chairman of the Nevada delegation to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL, where I made a speech that has caused some consternation.

[See our election 2012 Wrap up as well - Had the GOP Not cheated Ron Paul ] It was business as usual at the RNC today as the delegates began to arrive.

First they had to enter through a sea of secret service, blackhawk helicopters and over one thousand cops. Protestors were kept in check in gulag zones and yes the TSA was there as well! The RNC is simply America writ small. We knew they would cheat we just had no idea how MUCH they would cheat. Endless cheating at the ballot box, corrupt new laws for their own benefit, throwing away the rules (their constitution) and doing whatever it takes to stay in power, what the RNC is doing is just exactly what their elected people do in Washington DC. Ron Paul successfully submitted his nomination from five states (seven if you counted Mass and Maine which had delegates illegally removed) and one territory meeting the five state requirement to be nominated. The Preamble Harrassment of the Paul delegation began from the beginning. (119) Had a great time...

Isn't it all tied up nicely in a bow with the Romney/Ryan ticket? No. Why would the GOP be scared of Ron Paul but end up nominating him? I'll explain. Romney and the GOP have demonstrated both poor judgment and poor sportsmanship that might cost them by damaging Romney's electability among the Ron Paul supporters thus leading to a splitting of votes, which in turn, could cost the GOP the entire election. Dr. To be on the GOP ballot Aug. 27, 2012 in Tampa and get a 15-minute speaking slot, a candidate must have won the plurality (majority) of delegates in at least 5 states.

Well, Ron Paul did win the plurality of delegates in 5 states, enough to be eligible for the nomination and a 15-minute speaking slot at the GOP convention. So...

By Pat Shannan The names of as many as 18,000 dead people are still on the voting rolls in New Hampshire, and an investigative reporter has proven how any of these dead people could easily vote—and some may have done so in the January Republican primary.

A private $50,000 donation to Project Veritas financed the video production exposing the simplicity of voter fraud in a state that does not require voters to show identification prior to obtaining a ballot at the poll booths. The video is now being seen worldwide on the Internet and demonstrates the pitfalls of an election with no ID requirement. Following graduation from Rutgers University, James O’Keefe, 26, founded the non-profit organization Project Veritas and immediately began to gain national notoriety with investigations exposing corruption and malfeasance in major taxpayer-funded institutions like ACORN, Planned Parenthood, National Public Radio and Medicaid. ——Pat Shannan is a contributing editor of American Free Press.

Thomas Mullen TAMPA, April 7, 2012 – GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney continues to win primaries and Ron Paul still won’t go away. Part of the reason is that the Paul campaign understands the primary process and knows a little history. Romney’s support is lukewarm, while Paul’s actual delegate total is dramatically understated.

As Robert Wenzel points out, Paul is a lot like Warren Harding. Harding went into the brokered 1920 convention with only 6% of the delegates, but emerged as the party’s nominee. Harding won the general election in a landslide and took a very non-interventionist approach to the Depression of 1921. Free market economists cite Harding’s refusal to intervene in that crisis for the quick recovery that followed. So, there is no reason not to take Ron Paul at his word when he says that he is still in the contest to win the nomination.

In return, Paul would get a speaking slot at the convention, consideration for his son Rand, or concessions in the party platform. Rand Paul Endorses Mitt Romney On FOX News. Ron Paul: I won't be the nominee. Texas Rep.

Paul urged his backers to use the Republican National Convention in Tampa as an opportunity to advocate for their policy priorities, and pointed to several down-ballot races where like-minded candidates could use support. (Also on POLITICO: The 25 best quotes from Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign) "When it is all said and done, we will likely have as many as 500 supporters as delegates on the Convention floor.
