I have this posted in Grassroots Main, but I believe it is important enough to post here too for a day or two.

Hey Guys,
I have a couple of important announcements:
1) Alternates:
Almost all of the alternates elected statewide were Ron Paul alternates. I fear that many people may have put their name down as an alternate and assumed that was the end of the story. The fact of the matter is that we need each and every alternate that was elected to physically be at the state convention. There is a good chance that a few of the delegates that were elected may not show and our alternates need to be there to step into those positions.
2) Delegates
Friday, (tomorrow) at 2 PM we will be going before the credentials committee and arguing our case and expounding on our complaints against the party. We will clearly explain all three of our complaints/ reasons that the party violated their own rules. Ultimately, we will simply be demanding that the party count ALL of the provisional ballots regardless of part affiliation. If that means that a few people who weren't Republicans have their votes counted in the mix that's the party's own fault. The only reason hundreds more Ron Paul supporters didn't change their voter registration in time is because the party failed to follow their own rules and announce that there was a deadline.
The bottom line is this: if we get what we want dozens more of our delegates will be elected. If that happens they will need to be at the state convention Saturday.
Here is what I need all of you to do:
a. Please contact all of the alternates that were elected in your district and verify that they will be attending the state convention this Saturday.
b. Please contact all of the delegates that were NOT elected and tell them to please try to stay free Saturday because there is a possibility we will call them and need them to come to the convention.
This is very important! Please help me in this endeavour.
Thanks!
