NOMINATION DOMINATION MN convention results 5/19/12 RON PAUL MAKES HISTORY.

SHR ----->

I love Ron Paul and and I'm a diehard delegate but I'm also a realist. For Paul to win the nomination it will be a longshot still. America is waking up, can we do it in time before Tampa. I don't know.

If Paul were to receive the nomination or steal it as many would claim. I would guess that Romney would be selected to be his running mate. This combination in my opinion will be the only one that can defeat Obama in 2012.

If Romney does ultimately receive the GOP nomination, Paul will NOT endorse him thus causing Romney to lose a general election to Obama. Many of us think that the GOP had sold a second term to Obama and are only using Romney as a fall guy.

Presidents come and go every four years. Revolutions live on for century's.

We know Paul is more about revolution than elections.

Michigan Shocker! Ron Paul picks up more delegates...


There is good news and bad news. The good news comes out of Michigan. But first, the bad news, let’s get that out of the way and then have some fun.

Remember my warning that there were votes in a locked box taken from the state convention in Arizona? And that the Ron Paul victory there could be reversed if someone wanted to cheat? Well they did, and we lost it. I am gathering the facts and it is stunning, with 100 new ballots appearing out of the Romney ether.

Worse, there is evidence that the Ron Paul victory in Louisiana, a victory that even the media acknowledged and proclaimed to the world, may be reversed as well. I will give you the details Monday.

Meanwhile, there is evidence of a full scale purge of any Ron Paul delegate, from any state, to the RNC. If you are a delegate, keep your head down. They are looking for you. More on all of that this Monday.

Meanwhile, I like to mix my bad news with a touch of positive, and when you are riding the wave of a popular counter revolution, there are so many committed believers in so many places, doing so many wonderful things, that there is always good news to report. And the good news is this: Adam de Angeli and the Ron Paul team in Michigan, against all odds, have secured some delegates there. It is one of Romney’s three proclaimed “home states.” (Remember, we also picked up some in Massachusetts.)

Here is Adam de Angeli’s report: [link to dougwead.wordpress.com]

My first ever pin! Much appreciated mods

Congrats on the PIN !

My fellow patriots I have just returned from the MN state convention with fantastic news for you freedom loving Ron Paul supporters.

Entering the convention Ron Paul had already acquired 20/24 National delegates going to Tampa in August with a total of 40. The remaining 13 that we voted on were up for grabs today. The remaining 3 delegates will be appointed by the RNC at a later date.

I can say with great pleasure that history was made today in MN. Here's what the Ron Paul platform accomplished:

Friday night: Kurt Bills was elected to Senate (Huge Ron Paul backer) He ousted a powerful and long time neo-consertive establishment Republican Romney backer.

Friday night: Ron Paul delivers 18min speech to 2000+ delegates and warms the hearts of hundreds that previously were not backing him.

Saturday: 12 of 13 National Delegates are elected that back Ron Paul (several of which openly admit to never endorsing Romney).

Note: The Romney campaign had put up several well known and established Republicans as delegates to combat Paul's strength in numbers hoping that their popularity would take away votes from the Paul delegates, including Michele Bachmann.

Paul won all 13 delegate spots, however 1 Paul delegate gave up his spot to Bachmann in a sign of Party unity. (yes, basically we gave Romney a bone to chew on, as well as the Republican Party to start playing nice in future conventions.

Our vote to end the Federal Reserve passed as well as some other very conservative and freedom loving values. (more on this later).

The MN GOP spoke out to the Romney backers and told them to Accept Paul or die as a Party.

More later......

All in all, a great day for Minnesota, the country and a great day for freedom lovers!!!

WE should all be very proud that a GLP..member has become a delegate for Ron Paul... I ask all of you to bump this thread and keep it alive... Thank You Joe Boxer..

Don't forget the ***** and the green....

That lazy bum must be on vacation! Eat this Paul victory SHR

Much appreciated Silence. GLP actually has a few delegates. I know a few others are from MN as well.

One of the things I noticed at the convention was that many of the Romney State delegates literally had very little knowledge of Ron Paul. You'd think most delegates would have some basic understanding of all of the candidates but that just was'nt what I discovered.

Over the two day period I sat next to a 53 year old Santorum supporter who had been involved with politics forever. Since Santorum was out she was going to be casting her vote in favor of Romney delegates. That was until she heard Dr.Paul speak. Shortly after his speech she placed a Ron Paul sticker on her jacket and smiled at me and said she'd now be supporting Ron Paul. When we voted the following day she asked for my Ron Paul slate and helped to elect his National delegates.

Thanks guys, I was so proud to be a Ron Paul delegate. I love the man because he breaks party lines and draws everyone together as American's first and Party second. The only way we're ever going to make it work is if we unite ourselves depsite our mostly insignificant differences.

His ultimate message is freedom. Nothing elese ultimatley matters unless we have our freedom first!

First of all, thanks for sharing such great news.

Thanks also for being a Ron Paul delegate. I wouldve been a delegate if it werent for recent surgery and slow recovery. You're fighting the good fight! Liberty needs people like you.

Also, wanted to address this post in particular. With all the "shenanigans" the romney camp has been caught engaging in, did you guys notice any cheating or suspicious activities going on? I personally wouldnt have trusted this lady...she couldve been an undercover cheat? Obviously, she turned out ok. But are you guys keeping on your toes?

Much appreciated and best of luck with your back recovery. No, there was nothing suspicious in MN. Fortunately much of the Republican party here supports Paul. That's why we had a very clean convention.

What's great is that not only have Paul supporters become delegates but many of them are being elected within the Republican party. This Paul revolution is so much bigger than just trying to get him the Presidential nomination.

His ideology is actually reforming the entire party from within. It's actually pretty crazy how much influence he now has and it is only growing by leaps and bounds.

Several months ago I would have guessed that he might run 3rd party. Now, he does'nt have too. He's taking the Party over. He planted the seed and now he's starting to see the fruits of his labor.
