As you can see, this is soooo grass roots, you will have to plant grass yourself! But if you want to be a part of the movement, make yourself a t-shirt, bumper sticker, yard sign, button, flag or whatever, and wear or display it proudly! If anyone asks you what in the world you are doing, recruit!!!
More importantly, get informed!! Everyone in this movement needs to understand what is really going on! Oh, and the standard answer to those who are determined to get you to vote for Mitt is "Nuts" and follow that with "but for you, may the odds ever be in your favor."

I'm supporting a third-party candidate.
No hidden agenda, guaranteed.

I understand the sentiment, and I am amused, and a vote for "NUTS!" is certainly a more worthy vote than one for Romney. But why not coalesce with a write-in around Santorum or Gingrich to send such a message? or perhaps wait to see if there is an independent on the ballot? Romney is a lost cause. But the majority of the voting blocks that are giving him a victory in the primaries (like my own Wisconsin's Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee counties) will turn on him like a rabid dog for Obama in November. Convincing the real conservatives in Wisconsin to coalesce around Santorum, for example, as a write-in could actually give him more votes than Romney for this state in the general election. To me, that seems like a much more powerful message to the GOP-e.

No liberals! No coalescing behind the liberal GOP candidate! That means no Romney!

Did you know Lincoln was nominated as the Republican candidate through a brokered convention? The favorite at the time was William H. Seward. Lincoln was regarded as a dark horse contender with no chance of victory. However, he won the nomination on the third ballot, and as we all know, went on to win the presidency that November.
Other Republican pr...esidents who were nominated at a brokered convention include: Rutherford Hayes (7th ballot) James Garfield (36th ballot!)
Warning Harding (10th ballot) Dwight D. Eisenhower (2nd ballot) The closest we have come to a brokered convention in modern times was in 1976, when neither President Gerald R. Ford nor challenger Ronald Reagan arrived at the convention with a majority of the delegates, but Ford rallied to a win on the first ballot.
The bottom line? Republican brokered conventions result in presidential wins!
