This is what i have come up with so far in this draft and any more thoughts would be appreciated. Keep in mind the more you have the stronger your resolutions are.

This should also be brought to your convention as proof to support the claim in this resolution. http://www.fec.gov/press/press2008/20080221mccain.shtml .

RESOLUTION to deny Senator John McCain of Arizona (hereafter, "John McCain") any (STATE) delegate votes at the 2008 county, state, and national Republican Party conventions:

WHEREAS John McCain was placed on the ballot in (STATE) without obtaining the required number of petition signatures, due to his prospective acceptance of Federal matching funds; and

WHEREAS John McCain ostensibly won the 2008 Republican Party primary in (STATE) as a result of being placed on the ballot solely due to his prospective acceptance of Federal matching funds; and

WHEREAS John McCain has willfully withdrawn from the Federal matching funds program, violating the sole condition whereby he qualified to be on the ballot in (STATE); and

WHEREAS John McCain must therefore be deemed ineligible to have been on the ballot for the 2008 Republican Party primary in (STATE), rendering all votes for him null and void; and

WHEREAS John McCain cannot therefore be deemed to have actually won the 2008 Republican Party primary in (STATE), and thus no (STATE) Republican Party delegates can be obligated to vote for John McCain at county, state, and national Republican Party conventions; and

WHEREAS, by participating in the (STATE) Republican Party primary on a fraudulent basis, John Mccain has clearly failed in his obligation to respect and honor both the integrity of the Republican Party in (STATE) and the election laws of (STATE); and

WHEREAS the Republican Party has the responsibilty and obligation to hold any prospective nominee of its party accountable for any violations of the law in any state, at a minimum by refusing to allow such an individual to win its nomination; and

WHEREAS the delegates for the Republican Party have the reponsibility to mantain the integrity of the Republican Party by withholding their votes from any candidate who has violated either the integrity of the Party or the election laws of (STATE); and

WHEREAS it is impossible to determine how votes cast for John McCain in the 2008 (STATE) Republican Party primary would otherwise have been distributed;

BE IT RESOLVED that we the people of the Republican Party of (STATE) hereby release all delegates from any obligation, legal or moral, to vote in convention for John McCain based on his illegitimate participation in the 2008 (STATE) Republican Party primary; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we the people of the Republican Party of (STATE) enjoin all our delegates to NOT vote in convention for John McCain, and to vote for whichever remaining candidate(s) they believe best uphold(s) the platform and traditions of the Republican Party and the Constitution of the United States of America.

John McCain has withdrawn from the matching funds program IN HIS OPINION only. See: http://www.fec.gov/press/press2008/mccainletter.pdf

BUT the FEC is not so quickly releasing him from the program.
See: http://www.fec.gov/press/press2008/FECtoMcCain.PDF

And just for fun, check this out:

If somebody wants to post this over on DailyPaul.com, feel free (I'm not a member there). 'Course, they may have already found this info and posted it.

On a totally unrelated note, I just got my author's proof of my new book, "Against All Odds: The Ron Paul Revolution" back from the press this weekend. If I don't find major problems with it, it should be available at Amazon.com in about two weeks. I'm so excited! :)

Personally, I'd probably emphasize that McCain willfully broken the spending cap and thus is subject to criminal prosecution, and because of this, he is between a hard place and a rock because of this and ballot access. Ballot access is a bit more shaky because it can be argued that he only need to demonstrate eligibility, not acceptance of funding and is more likely to be mired in quibbling. Spending cap, OTOH is much more clear-cut and not really open to debate.

Maybe have another resolution stating that so delegates can choose which suits the moods best at their conventions?
