Ron Paul Endorsed By Alabama Republican Assembly
Posted by Eric A. Garris at January 26, 2008 03:45 PM

The Alabama Republican Assembly endorsed Ron Paul at their state convention today in Birmingham.

The endorsement required a 2/3rd majority of registered delegates. Ron Paul received the 2/3rd on the first ballot. Mike Huckabee came in second. Convention chair Elaine Little noted that, with the crowded field, it was unusual that an endorsement would be won on the first ballot.

The group also held a straw poll that was open to the public. The winner of the straw poll was Ron Paul, with 81%.

“Ron Paul’s grassroots support is second to none among all other Republican campaigns this cycle,” stated attorney Tom Davis, Vice President of the ALRA and delegate to the endorsing convention. “The results of our straw poll parallel the results in most straw polls throughout the country. Ron Paul has clearly excited many new people and energized them to get involved in the political process. The Republican Party should be grateful for all the ‘new blood’ coming in as a result of Congressman Paul’s message of freedom and returning to the Constitution.”

The Alabama Republican Assembly is a grass-roots volunteer organization chartered by the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. Ronald Reagan referred to the NFRA as “the conscience if the Republican Party.”

[trey4sports]

it means that hes doing well in alabama. a state big on gun rights and states rights. HOWEVER name recognition is our biggest enemy, still yet with all the good news were getting the odds are against us to wint any primary just because of the name recognition in itself.

The Alabama GOP cannot endorse anyone. The Alabama Republican Assembly is an organization. Kind of like the Young Republicans, College Republicans....

It is good to see young republicans trying to take back their party. Hopefully this will resonate with the rest of the state!

See the OP in this thread (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=102209) for the full article. This is a volunteer organization not associated with the GOP.

Achievements like this need to be recognized on digg. Hopefully it will spread to AL residents :) keep the momentum going!

Just more proof I will have to leave the West Coast where I grew up and move to the South someday. My grandpa was from Alabama. Ron Paul is appreciated in Alabama. Alabama sounds like a good choice.

The 2008 ALRA Presidential Endorsing Convention

The Alabama Republican Assembly 2008 Presidential Endorsing Convention and Straw Poll is to be held Saturday, January 26th, 2008 at the Marriott Hotel in Birmingham, located just south of the intersection of I-459 and US 280.

The endorsing convention will begin promptly at 10 am and should conclude by 12:00 noon. All dues-paying members of the Alabama Republican Assembly as of 12/26/07 shall be eligible to vote in this important convention.

Conference registration is only the amount of your 2008 dues plus $5.00. thus it is $25 per person or $15 per additional person in a household such as a spouse or eligible child. Since 2008 dues are due in January, this would cover your dues for the year, plus support for the convention.

In addition to the endorsing convention, we will host a concurrent straw poll at the Marriott that will be open to all registered voters in Alabama. Straw poll tickets will be sold for $20 a piece at the door. ALRA delegates will receive a complementary ballot with their registration. The straw poll will open at 10am and close at 11:30am. The results of the straw poll will be announced at the conclusion of the convention.

As we near the February 5th “Super Tuesday” primary in Alabama, top conservative Republican grassroots activists in the state (i.e. you) need to make their Presidential preference known to rank and file Republican voters. This endorsing convention provides you with an opportunity to do just that.

A press release announcing the results of the endorsing convention and straw poll will be released following the meeting.

As a bonus, we have invited Senator Jeff Sessions to address the convention on the very dangerous “Law of the Sea” treaty. Senator Sessions is fast emerging as on of the most important conservative voices in the US Senate. After taking a very principled stand against the Democrats and the Whitehouse on illegal immigration, Sessions is now taking on a treaty that threatens to turn over most of the world’s surface to the United Nations and impose a direct tax on the United States.

Please make it a priority to attend this important endorsing a convention. The year 2008 will be a momentous one in America’s political history. Let’s do our part in letting our voices be heard! Below is a registration form if needed.

Awesome video addressing the idea behind Sessions' quote below: in it Romney says the MOST IMPORTANT "civil liberty" the government should protect, is ones right to life! ...

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions

During the debate about FISA yesterday, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions made the following statement: "The civil libertarians among us would rather defend the constitution than protect our nation’s security."
With this single, outrageous statement the vacuous Senator from Alabama makes clear to all that he has forgotten his oath of office. In that oath he is sworn to uphold and defend The Constitution of the United States.

I urge each and every one of you to contact both senators in your state and implore them to censure Senator Sessions for this vile and repugnant comment. No more can we the people of this great nation sit on our hands and let our elected officials run roughshod over the Constitution, thinking of it as "only a piece of paper."

Perhaps David Bowie said it best "...And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through..." and yes, we are very aware of what is going on around us now.

There is a storm coming Mr. Sessions - a peaceful, cleansing storm of voters determined to righteously reestablish the significance of the most important document in the world. And we will.

We need to spend resources in Alabama if this is true. Btw how many people were there, and how many delegates voted? Perhaps we can get an idea of how many delegates are in for RP compared to how many they will send to the RNC. If its the majority then hell ya, we need to win this place!!!

[BamaStangGuy]

Good to see my state has some kind of common sense. Though Jess Sessions won't be getting my vote next time around.

[boethius27]

C'mon Alabama, we need a real first place and soon!
