Yesterday was fierce for our RP group we were outnumbered 60% - 40%. Amending the platform was difficult but we made small ground and we were able to add an amendment that stated something to the effect that the platform will follow the rule of law and the constitution. (which nullifies 3/4 of the platform) It was hard for me personally listening to all the pro war rhetoric all day long but I am so proud to be associated with these patriots as we all stayed for 12 - 14 hours!!!! Not one real gripe other than "OMG are these people for real?" I kept looking at Ron's photo that was at his campaign table which helped me stay strong and remember why I was there. In the end the convention chair who had been very fair stated to us that he could have torn our slate apart which would have resulted in a less favorable result BUT he sees new enthusiasm and welcomes it and was very impressed by the level of commitment of our group. He did say that this better mean that we stick around once this "thing" with our candidate is done. This is the part the GOP does not understand..... that this is a movement that will not end with Dr Paul's candidacy one way or the other. So today I raise my glass to a toast and asking you to join me in celebrating a small but sweet victory!!! March on PATRIOTS the battle has just begun.
