On March 1st what do we do?
Do we need to know who to vote for? Can we be state delegates? How does this work from here?

My wife and I are delegates from Lake Crystal, where Ron Paul CLEANED UP bigtime.
OUR county convention is in Mankato on March 15th.
And I can't WAIT to go!

When we go what do we do?
Continue to identify fellow RP delegates and nominte/vote for them to be delegates to the State convention. Write/contact other non-RP delegates and see if you can convert them to RP.
ALso, at the BPOU convention you will endorse Republican candidates for State House and possibly State Senate. MAKE SURE THEY ARE SMALL GOVERNMENT REPUBLICANS!
You are to be commended for making it to the next level. Continue to push the party to constitutional principles. Victory doesn't happen overnight.

Shoot Marriane an email. She'll probably know some other delegaes from your county.

Stay organized everybody. Make sure we get an accurate count of how many deleagtes we have and when the BPOU are and where.

Just walk up there and say,
"I support the candidate who wants to reinstate habeas corpus."
Who couldn't vote for that?
We didn't get any forms when we were elected, we were told we would be mailed all delegate information.

I was told that the delegates didnt go to the convention for one candidate, I was told the straw poll is what mattered. So I didnt stay signed up as a delegate... Hopefully the 7 delegates that did sign up were RP supporters... In my precinct no oen said who they were voting for, we had no speeches or anything

My precinct is Lake Crystal. (Blue Earth County)
My wife and I are Ron Paul delegates!
The *Blue Earth County Convention* is at Mankato State University on March 15th at 8am (registration) and 9am (start time).
At our precinct we were handed sign-up sheets.
** If you are a Blue Earth County delegate, and did not get a sign-up sheet, contact B.E.C. Republican Party. I was told last night they have an office in downtown Mankato. I'm pretty sure they said it was in the "old mall" near Buffalo Wild Wings. **
There is a fee to participate in the county convention. The pre-registration fee is $8 per person (delegate), or $10 at the door.
You can bet that between now and March 15th I'll be finding out the names of EVERY delegate in Blue Earth County and making sure Ron Paul WINS!! I love it!!!

the straw poll is mostly meaningless. What matters is who continues on as a delegate. That was supposed to be the whole purpose of going, but that message wasn't clearly communicated, I guess.

There are precincts that misinformed - like Jesse's. There are precincts that elected no delegates despite the fact that they must. Please include this in the email to
minnesota@ronpaul2008.com
We need to know the number of total delegates, number of known Ron Paul delegates, and any thing that was outside the rules.
Thanks!

You were conned! Wow... next time do your research... your caucus chairperson was a sneaky one. The first order of every caucus is electing a chairperson, beware of the person that WANTS to be the chair.

Pray that two of my delegates that are Ron Paul Supporters will show up on March 8th to the Convention. They found out the date and had prior commitments.... One of them has done this before and has some clout with the District so I think he could move forward if he showed up.

Thanks for the info. I still have to wait for my convention location to be updated on the MNgop.com/org site.
