    Delegates
    Maine

    The RNC has voted NOT to seat the elected Maine delegation, and NOT to follow rule 13 which will allow the remaining five delegates to vote on who to seat in Tampa.

    The RNC will choose the delegates from Maine.

    The Honorable Paul LePage, Governor of Maine will not be attending the GOP Convention.

    Ron Paul 2012

    Raised in Oklahoma, the worst state in the union for Obama, I campaigned for Obama relentlessly. I championed his rhetoric for scaling back the wars, closing Guantanamo and putting the U.S. back in the limelight of the world for freedom. I defended him when I knew, in my gut, that bailouts were inherently wrong.

    Then...Ron Paul came into my life. I clinged to his words like a 10 year old on a tree. It felt wonderful to have my ideas about healthcare challenged. It felt invigorating to peel back the layers of the secretive Federal Reserve. It felt enlightening to repeal foreign aid. It felt exciting to watch Ron Paul slam his colleagues, pundits and the MSM with verbal karate.

    It felt fresh to search alternative media to find the truth. It felt funny to watch, both tragically and queerly, Ron Paul smeared by the MSM. I became livid, combative, intelligent, mature, active. I became alive from my zombie state of complacency.

    Now. Romney and the GOP Establishment want to put push liberty lovers out of the feeding trough.

    Brothers and Sisters let's fight back. Let's sharpen the pen.

    I may offend people but to me Romney will always be a loser whether he becomes President or not. I don't care how many billions he has made. I'd rather have a lemonade stand kid give me a lecture on business than Romney.

    RNC passes rule binding all delegates to popular vote for future elections

    Ron Paul 2012

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/romney-campaign-radicall...

    Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, led by top Romney lawyer Ben Ginsberg, forced through a major change the GOP nominating process on Friday in response to Ron Paul supporters' efforts to win delegates to the Republican National Committee..

    The Republican National Convention Committee voted 56-40 to make it impossible for supporters of one presidential candidate to override the will of voters at a state convention, as Ron Paul supporters did in Iowa and Nevada.

    The purpose of the change, Ginsberg said, was "to correct what we saw as a damaging flaw in the presidential election process in 2012."

    The rule forces statewide presidential primaries or caucuses to determine the ultimate allocation of delegates, preventing takeovers like Paul executed in Iowa by eliminating unbound delegates in statewide contests. States would be allowed to decide whether to give all their delegates to the winner of the primary or caucus, or distribute them proportionally according to the results.

    TAMPA — Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, led by top Romney lawyer Ben Ginsberg, forced through a major change the GOP nominating process on Friday in response to Ron Paul supporters' efforts to win delegates to the Republican National Committee..

    The Republican National Convention Committee voted 56-40 to make it impossible for supporters of one presidential candidate to override the will of voters at a state convention, as Ron Paul supporters did in Iowa and Nevada.

    The purpose of the change, Ginsberg said, was "to correct what we saw as a damaging flaw in the presidential election process in 2012."

    The rule forces statewide presidential primaries or caucuses to determine the ultimate allocation of delegates, preventing takeovers like Paul executed in Iowa by eliminating unbound delegates in statewide contests.

    States would be allowed to decide whether to give all their delegates to the winner of the primary or caucus, or distribute them proportionally according to the results.

    "Iowa will have to change the way they do it," said a GOP official.

    A second component of the amendment would require delegates to be approved by presidential candidates, lessening the chances of technically pledged delegates voting for a different candidate.

    The original amendment would have removed the carve-out for Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada, but Ginsberg later clarified that was an error, after sparking a panic among early states.

    Virginia delegate Morton Blackwell objected that the rule would have a "damaging effect on our presidential candidate Mitt Romney."

    "There are very large numbers of people who supported other candidates, in particular Ron Paul, who will see this as an attack on their behavior," he said, warning that they could vote for the Libertarian party.

    Delegate Walk Out

    Florida

    Delegates: If you have any hope or dignity left, for the love of liberty, JUST WALK OUT of the RNC.

    If all liberty candidates walked out together, in front of the cameras, Especially while that god-awful Paul tribute film is playing, then the media could not possibly cover up that kind of embarrassment.

    It is not right to associate the good name of liberty with these jackals!

    Ghandi would say to do this.

    Jesus would say to do this.

    The Buddha would say to do this too.

    Just tell the press on the way out that we now live under absolute Fascism, and that they should probably run away now before they are lawfully rounded up and detained indefinitely for reporting the news.

    If you lay down with dogs you get up with Fleas. The WHOLE GOP is the dog now.

    Time for Third Party RUN. Period

    Submitted by archer on Sat, 08/25/2012 - 08:03
    Daily Paul Liberty Forum

    There is a huge undercurrent of dissatisfaction in America. Both people that are Left leaning and Right Leaning are disenfranchised.

    If you are not convinced, the Movie "Obama's America" is a Box office No. 1 considering that it opened in fewer theaters than the other top movies.

    It has also a high volume of pre-purchased tickets.

    Means...a lot of people out there really want to see this. Lot of people know that the media is hiding things from the public.

    A lot of people know that the media is in the tank for Obama.

    A lot of people know that the media wants Obama to be re-elected.

    A lot of people might also have a hunch that Romney was the fall guy as was McCain.

    People are sick and tired of being deceived.

    People are desperate for answers and honesty.

    People are sick and tired of being at a complete loss and no way out.

    People are sick and tired of the Wars on both sides that neither the candidates or the media want to inform them or address it.

    People are looking for a way out!!!

    BY THE RESPONSE TO THE MOVIE.....ONE CAN TELL THERE IS A STORM BREWING, because this movie got NO PROMOTIONS in the Media and still a hit.

    A Message to the American People from History

    Submitted by Ian56 on Sat, 08/25/2012 - 07:28
    Daily Paul Liberty Forum

    History does not repeat - but the mistakes of history are oft-repeated.
    A Brief Comparison of the British and American Empires

    1. Peak Power

    The British Empire reached the peak of it's power as a percentage of Global GDP circa 1885.

    The US reached the peak of it's relative power in 2000.

    2. Technological competition

    During the next several years Britain faced increasing technological competition from rival powers. Principally Germany, then France and US.

    During the next several years the US faced increasing economic and technological competition from rival powers. Principally China, but also India, Brazil and SE Asia.

    3. Africa

    During the next several years Britain faced a mad scramble with other powers to control territories in resource rich Africa. There were several minor local wars and skirmishes.

    During the next several years China launched a series of deals with African countries to secure natural resources. The US did not compete.

    The US launched a couple of pointless wars in the Middle East which gained them nothing. But severely compromised their financial position.

    4. War

    Within 30 years, the competitive pressures had bulit up to such an extent that Britain faced a major war with it's main power rival.
    Britain was ill-prepared for such a war and had to launch a major re-armament programme with the latest weapons of the day. E.G. Dreadnought Battleships. Britain was in a sound fiscal position and could reasonably afford such a programme.

    Germany had started preparations sometime earlier.

    US unknown - it is not 30 years later, yet.

    What we do know.

    China has stated that it is reforming it's armed forces from quantity to quality to meet the challenges of a more "technologically advanced foe".

    It has launched submarines and it's first aircraft carrier.

    China is building an alliance of "local" powers. These include Japan and Russia.

    It is seeking to move away from USD, which would further erode the US fiscal position.

    It is aggressively pursuing advancements to it's cyber warfare capabilities.

    The US is in a dire fiscal position already.

    Current weaponry will certainly be obsolete in 20 or 30 years time.

    It would have severe trouble in affording a massive re-armament programme in say 20 years time. It is wasting too much money now.

    5. After the war

    Britains fiscal position was severely eroded by WW1 and the depression.

    It's Gold reserves declined dramatically.

    It suffered drastic strategic overstretch, the colonies were losing money, not making Britain rich.

    The value of it's currency drastically declined.

    The US became the dominant strategic power.

    Britain finally went as near to bankruptcy as makes no difference 30 years after WW1.

    It borrowed heavily from the US to pay for WW2.

    Rationing was still in place for some basic commodities in 1951, due to import restrictions - it could not afford to buy them.

    US - unknown.

    The outlook is bleak.

    A Short Synopsis of Empire Throughout Time

    The first major empire were the Persians.

    Power then moved West to Greece.

    Power than moved West to Rome.

    After the fall of Rome, there was a power vacuum in Europe.

    The major civilisations were the Caliphate in the Arab world and China.

    The Mongol empire became the largest contiguous empire ever known for a relatively brief time.

    During this time a number of competing small nation states grew stronger and from circa 1500 started to become the major strategic powers.

    First Spain, then France and then Britain were the dominant powers.

    These were all short lived, lasting 100 to 200 years.

    Power then shifted West to the US.

    Where will power shift next?

    And how long will it be?

    If the US does not start thinking strategically, it will not be very long at all and the direction is obvious to all.

    "I am not running for President. I am running to change the course of HISTORY" Ron Paul

    Priebus: Everybody is on board; Everybody happy!

    Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, however, told ABC’s Steven Portnoy that he isn’t concerned.

    “I think it’s pretty great that we’re totally unified, that we’ve got everybody on board, everybody happy,” Priebus said. “I can tell you, all week we’ve been spending a lot of good times with the Ron Paul folks and their campaign, having a good time even in our meetings where we’ve had some disagreements, but for the most part everybody sees eye to eye on the most important issues facing America.”
