I thought this was good for everybody to know about.

It's good that we're thinking that far.

The information in the web site that your video uses is ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

The campaign will chose whom it wants as DELEGATE CANDIDATES (at least learn the vocabulary--voters choose the delegates). The campaign itself will then file with each state's Secretary of State whom it wants as its slate of delegate candidates. No offense, but the information in your video just repeats the incorrect information on Anson's website. You are doing a great disservice repeating that information.

Any running under Anson's "stealth" approach only divides Dr. Paul's support.

I second Bradley's statement. This whole "become a delegate" campaign is an incorrect understanding of election law. Delegates are chosen by candidates, and then voters chose their candidates or delegates already committed to a candidate. They don't just send people to the GOP convention who want to be generic delegates. That would make the whole primary process irrelevant.

Here was the state-by-state breakdown for 2004.
Pretty sure it has not changed anywhere as far as delegating goes.

We must have a good support base before this even occurs

Several states have made changes from the last time, some of them are completely different, others are still considering changes (and can until September 4th under RNC by-laws).
