Welcome to the Nevada State Headquarters

Thank you, Nevada. Ron Paul finished 2nd in the Nevada Caucuses! (read more)

February 16, 2008

The Paul campaign has recently been the victim of some misinformation. Here is the truth: CONGRESSMAN PAUL IS STILL IN THE RACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. Be sure to tell anyone who you know to be a delegate or an alternate to any of the county conventions.

I know it seems that there is little activity in the campaign right now, but that is truly not the case. We are currently preparing for the county conventions. The precinct caucuses of January 19th were only the first step in the process of electing the most delegates for Congressman Paul.

The critical second step is the county conventions. It is at these gatherings that we will elect Ron Paul delegates to the state convention in April. And the state delegates are the ones who actually cast the votes that elect the Republican presidential nominee.

Purely going by the numbers, the odds against us are great. But it isn't all about the numbers that have been publicized. In Washington State, we elected the majority of delegates. Some of our delegates ran as "uncommitted" because they had a better chance of election that way. This was not reported in the media. The media is lazy and uninformed about the delegate process.

In Louisiana, we probably elected the most delegates, but by changing the rules, the Louisiana GOP stripped some of our delegates and seated others who didn't qualify under the original rules. This is now under legal challenge. And the media is ignoring it.

In our own state, the 37 delegates to the national convention will now be free to choose any presidential candidate. Governor Romney would likely have gotten a large percentage of those delegates, but with his withdrawal from the race, those delegates are free to vote for the remaining candidate who best represents their beliefs. It seems logical that Ron Paul is that candidate.

So, even though we are not in all-out campaign mode, we are brushing up on our Robert's Rules of Order and parliamentary procedure. We are reviewing the state and county bylaws, and recommend you do the same for your county. And we promise to keep you informed of any new developments in the campaign as they occur.

And please, if you know anyone who is a delegate or alternate to their county convention, encourage them to enter their contact information on our webform or do it for them: http://www.votertracker.com/submit/

If you were elected as a county delegate -OR- alternate from your county and precinct please fill out the form.

Additionally, given the circumstances with the Romney campaign - i.e. Romney having dropped out, ALL Ron Paul alternates should show up to their respective county conventions as there will be many open slots left by Romney delegates not showing up now that he is out!

God Bless You. Restore the Republic!
