Registering to be a delegate for Trump in California, need help!

I did it!!




Dear National Delegation Applicant:

Thank you for applying to be a delegate to the Republican National Convention supporting Donald Trump for President.

We will forward your name on to the campaign of Donald Trump. As a reminder, the candidate and his or her campaign make all decisions concerning their delegates and alternate delegates. Submitting your name as a delegate here, on the CAGOP website, does not guarantee or promise a spot in the delegation.

Now that you have completed our sign-up process make sure to stay in the loop. We will reach out to keep you informed on important National Convention developments and information or you can check back to the CAGOP website where updates will be posted.

We encourage you to get involved with the campaign of your choice for President and with your local and state Republican Parties. If you need more information on getting involved, you can complete our volunteer form.

With all of our efforts, we can take back our country and our state.

Sincerely,

Chairman

I would love to do that too, but there's quite an investment to made if you're approved.

"What is the cost of attending?

Financial obligations of delegates include, but are not limited to: lodging (the RNC requires you purchase all 5 nights), food, travel, and a $900 participation charge. Take into consideration that convention centers and hotels often have higher costs for food and beverage purchases than you would find at home. We estimate the costs for a delegate to range between $3,000-$6,000."

That estimate above is for their meeting in Los Angeles in June, and doesn't include any of the costs of traveling to Cleveland for the National Convention.

I would guess the whole thing will set a delegate back about $10K - maybe a bit less if you really go budget.

I can see spending that if it was going to be a fair vote, but personally, I'm not ready to make that kind of investment when it looks like they are going to hand the nomination to Romney/Ryan anyway.

Getting involved in politics truly is for the rich.
