Courthouse News Service: More Delegates Want to Join Repub Revolt

Friday, June 15, 2012

"SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) - In a revolt against Romney, at least 40 more national convention delegates asked to join 123 previous plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Republican National Committee, and their attorney said hundreds more may soon follow suit. The first 123 delegates, all from the 9th Circuit, sued the RNC, its Chairman Rince Priebus, and every state party chairman in the 9th Circuit in Federal Court on Monday, demanding the right to vote for the candidate of their choice on every ballot at the Republican National Convention, including the first.

The delegates claim the party violated federal law by forcing them to sign loyalty affidavits, under threat of perjury, to vote for Mitt Romney, though he is not yet the official nominee. They also claimed that state party chairmen are fixing elections at state conventions and changing ballots so that all votes cast count for Romney.

"When nominating someone for a federal office, all delegates must be free to vote their conscience," Richard Gilbert, of Gilbert & Marlowe, attorney for the delegates, told Courthouse News in an interview Thursday. "They don't want to be bound to any candidate, or even be forced to vote for the nominee," Gilbert said. "To have a real convention, the delegates must have free will so that when they meet, they can persuade each other and then decide who to vote for."

I agree 10,000 percent with this statement... Arizona was warned about this Megalomaniac on the last election cycle and they re-elected this absolute Looney Toon Fruit Cake anyway

this goes far beyond the actions of a Simpleton; he should have been medicated and retired a LONG time ago

He needs to be recalled and actually put on trial for all of the crimes against humanity he is directly responcible for

Montana Madness: GOP establishment shuts out Ron Paul supporters

Here’s a report from David Johnson, Manhattan, Montana.

The GOP elephant just stepped on and crushed its hardest workers. Such was the aftermath of the last weekend’s Republican State Convention in Missoula, and the ones who may pay the dearest price for this stunning display of spitefulness will likely be the candidates on the statewide Republican ticket. The Party has just shot itself in the foot – and may have shot its candidates in the back.

Political conventions in election years are normally all about building unity, laying aside differences and “closing ranks” around the part’s chosen nominees. Accordingly, the opening speech by former governor Judy Martz on Friday morning struck just the right chord – a gracious recognition of what the ideas of Ron Paul and the enthusiasm his supporters have come to mean to the Republican Party. Martz then called upon this strong and active contingent of the Montana GOP to join with the others in forming a united front for victory.

The Ron Paul backers in the audience – reportedly 47 percent of the state convention delegates – were seen nodding in agreement. Romney’s nomination was a foregone conclusion. They weren’t there to change any of that, but rather, to keep Dr. Paul’s ideas active and alive, and to claim their well-earned place of respect at the GOP table. Gov. Martz’s comments notwithstanding, they were in for a cruel and shocking surprise.

The primary objective of the Paul delegation was to elect a proportional number of Paul delegates to the August national convention — partly to honor the party’s most conservative presidential candidate with a few symbolic votes, but more importantly, to have an opportunity to participate in the national platform.

Based on Paul’s showing in the recent Montana presidential primary, state party chairman Will Deschamps assured the Paul campaign that the state nominating committee would select five Paul people to be included on the slate of 20 nominees for the national convention. Deschamps then appointed a nominating committee comprised of himself and four other Romney (or better put, anti-Paul) individuals, who subsequently nominated ZERO Paul people, even though nearly half of the state delegates present were in the Ron Paul camp. “In the spirit of unity,” the convention then flexed its “Old Guard” muscles by electing a 100 percent Romney delegation to go to Tampa.

The message to the Paul Republicans couldn’t have been more clear: “There is no place for you at our table and no room for you in our party. Oh, and by the way, now go out and get our candidates elected.” Fat chance.

Just as bad as the outcome itself were the elitist methods employed to achieve it. Not only were the Ron Paul folks intentionally deceived into believing they would be treated deferentially (if not equitably) by the nominating committee, but after the 100% Romney slate was announced and the Paul candidates had to all be nominated from the floor, the powers that be created a totally prejudiced ballot. Delegates received a ballot featuring on the front, one box to check for the full Romney slate (which they argued were the more legitimate candidates,) and on the back side, the Romney candidates listed a second time, and underneath them in smaller type, the floor-nominated Paul candidates. If more than 20 votes were cast, the ballot would either be counted only for the Romney slate or in some cases simply invalidated.

While almost all of the Paul candidates were present and gave the traditional brief speeches, less than half of the Romney candidates even bothered to show up for the convention, and almost none of them spoke. It became painfully obvious that the fix was on. At that point, one of the party’s own statewide candidates turned to me and said, “You watch. These people will not be big enough to allow even one Ron Pauler in their midst.” He was right.

What is such a mind-blower about all this to a new participant such as I, is the degree to which power and control means everything to the GOP Old Guard, even at the expense of losing all their party’s elections. The unparalleled level of work, energy, activism and enthusiasm the Ron Paul Republicans bring to the party means nothing to them. They’ll throw it away in an instant — and did just that. (Note: the convention was blanketed with Paul signs, Paul literature and two large Ron Paul booths. By comparison, there were no Romney booths, no Romney signs, no Romney material to be seen.)

When driving up to the convention center, your couldn’t help but notice one intrepid older gentleman, holding a protest sign that read, “Den of Thieves.” It was easy to dismiss the message as just another anti-capitalist rant from another Missoula socialist. But ironically, there was more truth to his sign that he could have ever known. For indeed, I had just witnessed the Republican Party stealing the elections away from its own people.

Montana Madness: GOP establishment shuts out Ron Paul supporters « Doug Wead The Blog

There isnt anything Romney could do at this point to reconcile all of the corruption that has occured... again... The G.O.P. good ole boy system A.K.A. "Old White Guys" your on your own.. there is not a snow balls chance in hell of voting for this corruption to continue

dont be confused... there will be no voting for the lesser of 2 Evils this Time

They dont care how screwed up Obama is .. they are fighting back harder at the system

you are seeing the very onset of a meltdown in the G.O.P. and they dont even realize it yet

you think I am kidding... you better start reading all of these forums

Choice number 1. Write in Ron Paul 55 - 65% of the people will do that

Choice number 2. Stay Home and let the G.O.P. candidates wither at the local, state and Federal Level... 15 - 20% have lost faith in both partys now and will just stay home

Choice number 3. Vote for Obama as punishment to the G.O.P. dont under estimate this one 15 - 20% and it may go much higher

Choice number 4. Vote for Romney .. its not high at all .... ya gotta look hard to find 5 - less than 10% that will vote for Romney... and thats reluctantly while holding their nose .. thats how bad he is viewed

While the othe candidates were able to be easily swayed back into the G.O.P. Its not going to happen with 80 - 90% that are fed up with the Liberal Marxists and the Republican Progressive (NEOCON) systems

As Much as Romney is Dis-liked and he is ... this is more about fighting back against an out of control system

10 - 15 million young voters 18 - 30 want Change ... as the elderly G.O.P. starts to pass on the G.O.P. has now lost a massive new growth in the party

after this election cycle... the G.O.P. is going to find out how much of its power base it lost by acting like fools

Anyone else at this meeting in Lodi? It was 107 outside when Rick was sitting outside doing this interview. It was insanely hot.

Anyway, without spoiling too much, look forward to Rick and other Liberty candidates in 2014 for state-wide elections. The Liberty movement in California is spreading like a wildfire and cannot be stopped.

I personally know 6 or 7 liberty people running for office in my county, myself included. This number will turn into 15-20. I lose track of the Ron Paul folk running for office in 2014, because there are so many of us. If your not running for office yet, hurry up and get started on your campaign. Go to every meet up and political group in your area. Attend your central committee meetings. Go out and volunteer on every candidate in your area you agree with (80% rule applies here, you only have to agree with them on 80% of the issues).

Run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office, run for office.

Get my drift?

BECOME RON PAUL, never sell out, and learn from the mistake from this campaign.

Some people mull over running as a republican, independent, libertarian, or democrat. I believe that this decision is up to you. There was a point when the democrats were for free markets and sound economic policies. I believe in the republican route and don't like the libertarian party. Why should we leave the party? Why don't the neo-cons go out and start their own third party? Who said they own the party?

Good Luck, Peace and Ron Paul
