Texas convention - this week

[w00ter]

Hey, all you Texas delegates/alternates to the state convention:


Platform Committee subcommittee meetings should start tomorrow afternoon (6/9/8)

The whole platform committee should be meeting by Thursday if that is when you are arriving ... come by and testify if there is an issue that you want to address -- you might want to check the 2006 platform to see what has been stated before-

http://www.texasgop.org/site/DocServer/2006_Plat_with_TOC_2.pdf?docID=2022

We especially need people to speak for Initiative and Referendum because the 2006 platform is against I&R.

Don't know what I&R is? check here

http://www.initiativefortexas.org/

I&R was supported in the party platform back in the early 90s and the 80s and the neocons yanked it in the mid-90s (when GWB arrived to run as governor)

See you all at the Ron Paul events on Thursday and Friday nights!

Don't let them start the convention without you!

(As they did in so many other states, having Rules Committee meetings without a quorum.)

Here is what I would suggest everyone needs for the convention:

1) Bring several video cameras and/or recorders. We need evidence of the corruption. Afterwards, it can be sent to local news.

2) Learn certain parliamentary definitions and their context to be ready to answer arguments the chair will make:

Dilatory
Point of Order
Division of the Assembly
Appeal the Decision of the Chair

3) Expressly ensure you know the extent of the powers of the chairman. A chairman is not supposed to set policy, only to ensure order is kept so that debate and policy may proceed effectively.

Good luck. I wish I could be there.

It's this week, huh? Good. Here are your marching orders:


I'm no expert, but if it were me I would:

1. Show up early with a copy of Robert's Rules in hand, find Ron Paul Republicans, and band togeather.

2. Find allies: Huck or Romney Conservatives that hate McLiberal as much as we do.

3. Get an estimate of the crowd. Find out if you outnumber the McSheeple between our people and any allies found.

If you do:

Take the fucking convention over! Vote out the chair immediately with no hesitation since he is 99.99% likely to be actively looking to screw Ron Paul Delegates.

If you don't:

Challenge everything they do! Call for votes on anything they present to you, such as preprinted McWar ballots.

Wait for them to break the rules. Seriously........it will happen.

The moment they start breaking rules .......for the love of God......please.....DO NOT HESTITATE TO ROUND UP THE TROOPS AND RUMP!!!!

Ask questions later, Just F*%king Do It!






Oh, by the way, did I mention to find allies? :rolleyes:

I can't stress enough the importance of doing this. You may find that Ron Paul Republicans are the minority. But with Huck or Romney allies you may be able to have the majority and possibly establish a quorum.

I will pray that you check this thread before you head out to the Convention. Heck, print this page and take it with you if ya have to. :cool:
