FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Contact: Wayne Terhune Delegation Chair, Nevada
Six States Nominate Congressman Ron Paul for President at the Republican National Convention
TAMPA, August 28, 2012-- Supporters of Congressman Ron Paul have collected the necessary signatures to nominate him for President of the United States at the RNC. The current rules state that a plurality of delegates from five states are required to nominate a candidate for President. The Secretary of the Convention, Kim Reynolds, was presented with the forms over an hour before the call for nominations.
We are excited to get Dr. Paul nominated, said Wayne Terhune, Nevada Delegation Chairman. Congressman Pauls message of limited, Constitutional government, sound foreign policy, and personal liberty needs to be heard on this convention floor.
The list of nominating states and territories are: Nevada, Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon, Alaska, and the Virgin Islands.

EXACTLY!! You usually get what most don't!!
“Can’t forget Governor Antidepressant!”
Yes, that’s right.
Our spoiled trust-fund governor...
and
BlackAdderess, I referenced both of your posts, because they made sense when read together.
Excerpted from the above linked KLEW-TV article:
"...For all the furor surrounding legislative races, it pales in comparison to some unusual local Republican contests.
In one, Shaun Winkler, a Ku Klux Klan imperial wizard, faces incumbent Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler in the race to be the top law enforcement officer in Idaho's rural north. Winkler, 33, held a cross-burning near Priest River last week.

"But Paul loyalists including Ryan Davidson have said they're targeting obscure local GOP precinct committee leader races, in hopes of sending friendly delegates to the state Republican Convention in Twin Falls in June to reverse Romney's caucus win.
Debbie Field, a former GOP state legislator and Romney organizer, is flabbergasted. She points out that many Paul backers wanted the caucus, thinking it could help the libertarian-leaning Texas congressman's chances.
"It's amazing," Field said. "When they don't get the results they want, they change the rules. It's a strange way of functioning."
< Snip >
Democrats who are holding their own nominating contests Tuesday are observing the machinations from the other side of the aisle not without a little relish..."

This supports my opinion that the rules change was not a GOP, Rove or Romney power grab, as much as it is a means of slowing down some of those who wear conservative Republican garments, namely the Ron Paul supporters, liberals and others, who are making great efforts to insure another Obama Presidency.
Hey, did anyone see Mia Love’s speech today? A black female conservative.
A star is born.
I expect to see more of her in the news in the future!

Indeed..
What kind of man wears Armor Hot Dogs, or fake eyebrows?
You approve of Paulites lying I see.
Say what you will about Ron Paul but he is not a nutcase, he is perhaps one of the most sane men in that room.
That being said I don’t agree with Ron’s forign policy, although as events move forward it seems more and more likely that Ron Paul’s foreign policy will be a necessity for a time.
Like it or not Under Obama the Federal army, and air-force is becoming more and more a domestic threat to our liberty. Invariably as this continues the same forces meant to protect us from foreign threats will themselves pose the greatest threat. We may have little choice but to see their abolition. At which point our only defenses will be in our State Militia in a climate of distrust against Washington which will render them unsuitable for anything but the defense of theses united States from foreign invasion.
Simply put that leaves us with Ron Paul’s foreign policy as Washington’s only practical option.
I Love her speech..I hope she goes far..and of course, hope she is elected.
WOW
We should sign a petition suggesting that the situation is grave and Paul should have Secret Service protection to protect him from tin foil pancakes.
This is the “new blood” of conservativism (youth and even minorities are realizing the evils of Obamaism.
Hope for my great grands future!
“The GOPs version of the crazy uncle from the attic.”
Except these losers who claim to be Constitutionalists are actually no better than Soviet apparatchiks and commissars, who would pull stunts like this...lying and literally defrauding people of their votes and support.
It’s time to take the RP nuts as the serious problem that they are.
They need to be expunged from the Republican Party. Play hardball, tell Rand sorry, due to Issac, you will be unable to speak at the Convention or the next Convention. After all, can we really trust him?
“Simply put that leaves us with Ron Pauls foreign policy as Washingtons only practical option.”
I would vote for Obama over that asshat. The gig is up moonbeam. Ron Paul is a fraud and defrauded voters of their actual votes by Branch Paulians pretending to be for other candidates.
The apparatchiks are not pleased with grass roots conservatives at all.
Locally (Fayetteville), the "Freedom Movement" has John Birch Society speakers and attends the Cumberland Co Gun 7 Knife Shows to reach out to people. Anytime I speak to them they tell me they are the only option since there is no active TEA Party Group here.
Time to expose Ron Paul to the light of day.
