That felt great!!!! I never met someone from the paul campain before today. I met one of our delegates. The guy was classy and he gave me his number and told me if I needed anything to call...Wow. Name another campain with this kindness....You can't! Unless of course they want to buy your vote lol By the way i had to argue for them to find my name. Luckily my card stated when i registered. Finally when they knew i was not leaving they suddenly found my name!....give me break. Anyway the campain members told me we had this area locked up...Turnout was insanely low...Like 15 votes low....Anyway i hope all the hard work I have done paid off. If Paul wins louisiana I am going to cry my eyes out. I am not overly emotional but I wouldn't be able to control it. If we don't win the nomination your can bet your a** that I am going down swinging. I had to drive close to an hour to vote but I don't care. I just will save my money a little more to make up for it. GOP if you screw us i will make it a mission to expose you and ensure your demise in november. You can't stop a revolution that has destiny in its corner

Massachusetts

Just got back from my first caucus. There were way more people there than last time. Ron Paul Liberty Slate people got 117 votes for first place, 115 went to Heeley and 114 was a tie between two RP supporters. My vote, along with 6 others were not counted yet as they were sealed because were weren't on the list. I registered the day before the deadline so I'm guessing that's why. However one of the delegates himself was not on the list despite being registered 4 months prior. Sounds fishy. Anyway, we know at least 1 other person's sealed vote was for the three RP people and 1 was for the second place person. That leaves four ballots left. We need 3 out of the four to guarantee getting 1st, 2nd, and third. If there's a tie Romney's chairman gets to decide and we know where that will go.

So all in all we are guaranteed 2 out of the 3 and maybe more. There were Republican big wigs in our district who were not happy. Former governor candidates, state minority leaders, etc.

It's totally my fault but I should have gotten my wife to register in time and come. And my neighbor backed out yesterday. THen again most of the men there had wedding rings but no spouse to be found. Shame on me.

Now all we gotta do is make sure Romney doesn't get 1144 and we'll be in awesome position to get this thing! So 2, maybe 3 for CD 6!

Actually, Ron Paul Is Secretly Winning A Lot More Delegates Than You Think

Ron Paul Has Finally Launched A New Ad — And It's AWESOME

Mitt Romney may have all but locked up the Republican nomination with his victories in the East Coast primaries this week, but Ron Paul and his army of acolytes aren't ready to give up the fight just yet. As the rest of the political world's attention shifts to the general election, Paul is still quietly amassing delegates at district and county conventions, and is now poised to take a real bite — or at least a big nibble — out of Romney's delegate total.
In just the last week, Paul locked up 49 delegates, including five in Pennsylvania and four in Rhode Island, two states thought to be firmly on Romney's turf. In Minnesota, Paul won 20 of the 24 delegates awarded at last weekend's district caucuses, an impressive sweep that guarantees that Paul will control a majority of the state's delegation at the Republican National Convention.

And despite staunch opposition from the state Republican Party, Paul took 20 of the 40 delegates awarded in Missouri last weekend, according to campaign chairman Jesse Benton.

In at least five other states — Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Washington, and Maine — Paul has done remarkably well at county and district conventions, and his supporters are expected to win a big chunk of the RNC delegates at the state conventions later this spring.

"We are very pleased with the results," Benton told Business Insider. "We still have a long way to go, but we've done very, very well at the county caucuses and district conventions and that bodes well for our strength when we get to the state conventions. Now we need to keep our nose to the grindstone."

Even Rick Santorum, who earlier in the race accused Paul of shilling for Romney, acknowledged the Texas Congressman's impressive organization this week, telling CNN's Piers Morgan that "Ron Paul is working the delegates hard."

In a surprising twist, a lot of Paul's recent success can actually be attributed to Santorum's decision to suspend his campaign earlier this month. In many places, Santorum supporters have banded together with Paul organizers in an attempt to deny Romney delegates.

In Colorado, for example, Santorum supporters have bonded with their Paul counterparts over a shared skepticism of Romney's conservative values. Although the Colorado GOP won't select its RNC delegates until the state convention next month, Paul organizers have gotten many of Santorum's pledged delegates to commit to supporting Paul over Romney.

"In Colorado, there is a real anti-Establishment sense — they want to send a very conservative delegation to the national convention," Benton told BI. "We're fighting it out, and we think there are enough Santorum delegates that are sympathetic to Ron Paul who will come over to us."

In Washington, Santorum's county caucus organizer sent an open letter to his fellow supporters urging them to vote for Paul's delegates rather than Romney's.

Here's an excerpt of the letter, obtained by Business Insider:

Romney wants everybody to quit. Quitting may be his solution when his back is up to the wall, but it's not what we want from our leaders. Our country has it's back up against the wall! We need principled fighters and not a pretty boy in a suit. We nominate Romney and it's the equivalent of making him the starting quarterback because he simply looks good in the uniform. He's a defensive coordinators dream. The mere fact he wins in the same places liberals do in the general election says a lot.

At some point, and it might as well be now, people are going to reign back power from party leaders, unite and actually make something like a Paul/Santorum unity slate work. As I see it, it's the only way to balance power, restore it back to the people and take it away from big money.

Those against such an alliance, especially elected state delegates, might want to address future problems and complaints concerning government to the person in the mirror. I fail to see the logic in people not trusting such an arrangement that both Paul and Santorum's people have agreed to, yet they'll trust the same people running the party for years that have helped bring us to this junction in history.

That Santorum's supporters are taking a second look at Ron Paul rather than vote for Romney's delegates is an indication that the former Massachusetts governor still has major problems with his party's Republican base.

"The plurality of them just don't want to vote for Romney," Doug Wead, a senior advisor to the Paul campaign, told Business Insider. “A lot of people are upset that Romney has not reached out to them at all. [They feel like] 'Why in the hell should we support him when he’s not asking for our support or doing a single thing to get it."

Both Wead and Benton concede that it would be difficult — if not impossible — to deny Romney the delegate majority he needs to win the nomination. The goal now, Benton told BI, is "to win as many delegates as we possibly can."

"We want to have a strong, respectful presence that says 'We are here, we are are going to participate, and we are ready to talk about the party platform with you if you take our issues seriously," he said. "We're going to send a message that the liberty wing of the Republican party is strong, and that it isn't going anywhere."

The Romney campaign declined to comment on Paul's delegate wins. But if Paul continues his hot streak, the presumptive nominees might not be able to ignore the libertarian iconoclast and his army of delegates by the time the national convention rolls around.

Santorum and Gingrich are not out they are still in this race, don't be confused they have not dropped out yet!

Daily Paul Liberty Forum

I have seen lots of talk lately and many conflicting posts and stories around the blog sphere.

Suspending a campaign and dropping our are two completely different things, don't be confused.

Many people are saying that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich delegates are now free to vote fro whom they wish because they have both dropped out of the race.

THIS IS NOT TRUE.

The fact is that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich only suspended their campaigns, which means, they will no longer actively campaign but they have not widtdrawn from the presidential race as of yet.

So what does this mean? This means that until they actually DROP OUT or RELEASE their delegates of the presidential race their delegates can still vote for them at the RNC convention in Tampa later this year.

They can also still pick up more votes and delegates as the primary season continues, they are both still on the ballots in the states where they collected the proper amount of signatures and/or filed the proper regstration and/or paid the proper fees to be placed on the ballot in the remaining states.

This post is to bring clarity to what the truth is, nothing more.

At the same time

Both are sponsored by the same people. Both will carry out the same agenda.

Both are liars!

Polls show Ron Paul beats Obama.(with near zero media coverage!)

We are not fighting the GOP or the democratic party.

We are fighting the establishment that ruins this country and the whole world for their benefit!

< Attack and Expose Romney/Obama wherever we can >

WE need to do it. The campaign should do it too!

A Debate Obama vs. Romney:

Romney- Your campaign is funded by a pack of leeches that are bleeding this country dry!
Obama- Yours is funded by the same people! (Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, JP Morgan, ect)

Romney- You support taxpayer funded bailouts (TARP)
Obama- So do you!

Romney- You support the 'patriot' act!
Obama- So do you!

Romney- You support never-ending war!
Obama- So do you!

Romney- You support the indefinite detention of American citizens without due process!
Obama- So do you!

Romney- You support assassinating American citizens without due process!
Obama- So do you!

Romney- You support government takeover of healthcare!
Obama- So do you! In fact, we modeled our plan after yours!

Romney- I never said my plan would be good for the nation!
Obama- Ummm… that's not what you said on Meet The Press (and several other places)

Romney- You support increased gun control laws!
Obama- Didn't you sign a ban on semi-automatic weapons? Hello pot, my name is kettle!

Romney- You are completely out of touch with ordinary Americans!
Obama- Says the guy who has an elevator for his cars.

Romney has no chance against Obama. Ron Paul has..

Please come up with ideas how we can attack Obama AND Romney at the same time!

This will win us the majority of americans and Ron Paul the power to Restore the country!
