Which is unacceptable. Here's the announcement of the Ron Paul supporters intention to continue on June 28th. Please take action and contact the GOP, the press, and let them know that we will proceed on June 28th. If you're in Nevada, get the word out to your meetups and all the credentialed delegates you know. Please help us get the word out! We need this one "for the Gipper."
Today's update from "out side"
June 5, 2008
Dear Nevada Patriots,
As you may have heard, the State GOP has announced they will reconvene the State Convention on July 26th.
This date is not acceptable:
It is too late. This is the last possible weekend before the August 1st cut-off. The date is so late that it does not allow reasonable time for the delegates to the National Convention to schedule flights and accommodations. Airfare is going up in price daily.
If there are any problems with this convention (and we know this GOP is prone to having problems!) we will not have any time to redress grievances. This date is so late that there is no margin for error. The State GOP may still attempt a mail in ballot, which they have been pushing for all along.
This date is three months from the original convention. This is RIDICULOUS.
Plus-- we have no reason to believe the State GOP has any intention of running a fair convention on July 26th. We have seen draconian tactics slammed against Ron Paul supporters at conventions across the country, and we can expect nothing less from our State Party. They will be ready for us this time.
How has the Party treated us so far?
They have stalled us, lied to us, and slandered us. They have treated us badly at every turn. The State GOP has been tireless in their efforts to stifle our voices as State Delegates. We must not allow this to happen. We have no assurance of a fair convention on July 26th - in fact, we can expect the opposite. We will almost surely lose at any Convention run by this State GOP.
Therefore, we have decided to continue with our efforts to call the State Convention out of recess on June 28th. We believe we have an excellent chance of obtaining a quorum on this date. We have already been joined in our efforts by numerous Republicans who are not "Ron Paul people."
In order for this to be a success, we will need the help of each and every one of you.
What to do:
Right now, we need to crank up our media blitz. PLEASE call and e-mail every media outlet you can find (you can start with the list below) and tell them the July 26th date is unacceptable, and that the State Party should join us on June 28th at the Grand Sierra Resort. (Please contact me, Paulette, and I can email you a list of party and press contacts.
Also, tell the state party the same thing. Tell them their convention is out of the question, and that you want to go to the GSR on June 28.
We must stand for our rights as state delegates to be heard. This is about much more than Ron Paul, or the State GOP. This is about standing up for our rights as Republican delegates. This is about protecting the freedoms our Country is built upon. This is about the "little people" exercising their rights against a corrupt party machine.
This is where revolutions start and history is made. The eyes of our country are upon us.
Please join us.
In Liberty,
The Terhune Family
P.S. We have many rooms reserved for our convention, and we will be forwarding that info (and posting it on http://NevadaGOPConvention.com) soon.
