We Can Still Win the GOP Nomination
National DVDs for Delegates Project We Will Not Quit !
www.dvds4delegates.com
This Project Will Continue Through the End
Even Without the Nomination It's Worth Reaching These Delegates


The purpose of the National DVDs for Delegates Project has not changed. We will plan, produce, and distribute a series of four educational DVDs to the roughly 4,600 Delegates and Alternates to the 2008 Republican National Convention before they get to Saint Paul in September.
Our mission is to wake up these National Delegates to the awesome responsibility they have, to do more than just hold a scripted convention, a show for the media.

Fact 1: The convention can still nominate Dr. Paul for the Presidency even with the Official Campaign Ending.
Yes, Dr. Paul said he is closing the Campaign Organization. Now so he can put the $5,000,000+ in its coffers to better use than advertising for primary contests that are over.

But the Fact Remains: There is no law preventing his nomination at that convention, even with the campaign organization closing. We checked with our lawyers. Our chief lawyer was the actual Commissioner and Chair of the Federal Election Commission he resigned in 2006, so it seems reasonable to trust their judgment on this question.

Fact 2: There is no law requiring Delegates to vote for the candidate they are bound to.
These Delegates are Morally Bound, not to a particular candidate, but to Represent the People who supported that candidate. If they are presented with pertinent information that was previously hidden from them?they are Morally Bound to adapt to that information and make the best choice they can for their constituents.

Between now and mid-August, we will create, manufacture, and distribute a series of four DVDs to the mailing addresses of all identified Delegates and Alternates to the 2008 GOP Convention in St. Paul, MN.

Our goal is to use this opportunity to communicate important information to GOP Delegates. We will share media containing perspectives new to most delegates, media blacked out by the 5 mega-corporations who currently ignore the Ron Paul Constitutional Message from their news and other media coverage.

Joining Us:
We welcome and encourage you to join this project. We need committed volunteers to continue our effort to 1) plan the DVD content, 2) secure the delegate lists, 3) to organize teams in their states to address and mail the DVDs we send you, and 4) get your state to pay its share of the cost. Goto www.dvds4delegates.com (http://www.dvds4delegates.com/) and press the "Join" button.

Donations:
We do appreciate your donations for this effort, whether or not you want to participate in the work of this project.

For about $20 per delegate, we can reach them all. Your state?s share can easily be computed by multiplying $20 times your state?s combined number of Delegates and Alternates. If you have 50 delegates and 50 alternates, that is 100 times $20, or $2,000. One wealthier donor can cover your state, or 100 smaller ones.

Please help get your state activists to help.

Just go to www.dvds4delegates.com (http://www.dvds4delegates.com/)click the Donate button on this screen to get started.

Your donations are not tax deductable. Please read the Donation page for all of the FEC Required information.

The 2nd fact you mentioned is a surefire way to get banned from the GOP for life. I'd only suggest that if you're sure he'll win the nomination.

Plus these delegates and alternates are ODDS ARE the same ACTIVE political americans who will want to be involved in the next election cycle SO we need to make sure to get these dvd's to the delegates because it COULD affect their voting next election cycle.

Yes, these are the people to educate. The national delegates are typically elected officials and party leaders.

However, you must make sure this isn't a pro-Ron Paul project. The DVDs will be thrown away. These should just be basic advice and rules to help the delegates. If these sound pro-Paul in anyway, they will be tossed and we will be more hated.

gonna keep this BUMPED! it's THAT important.

for all who may not be familiar w/the AK. DVD project...this is where the idea stemmed from due to their success after getting their DVD's out to AK delegates.

feel free to contact evan for questions or more info...or to get INVOLVED--this IS education at the grassroots for those who have a vote at the upcoming convention ;)

...& btw the dvd's are not geared to RP ...they are geared to conservative values, the republic, & the humaness of all who give a care.

Dear Constitutional Media Political Action Committee,

The best thing we can do is one-on-one meetings with the delegates. Most of them won't watch the DVDs.

We need to meet with them individually, then send them the DVDs, then follow up. It's not a swift or easy process.

Dear Ron Paul meetup members,

Many of you are aware that Ron Paul officially suspended his campaign a couple of weeks ago. What many are not aware of, however, is that this campaign suspension was merely a legal formality, governing the use of Ron Paul's campaign donations. RON PAUL IS STILL ELIGIBLE FOR THE GOP NOMINATION. Similar to Mitt Romney, Dr. Paul is no longer actively campaigning, but *IS* still eligible to win the GOP nomination, and WILL still have bound delegates present at the Republican National Convention in September. The phenomenal success of Ron Paul's delegates at this past weekend's Nevada Republican state convention attest to how active and excited the Ron Paul movement is to elect him the GOP nominee.

The purpose of the DVDs 4 Delegates project (http://www.dvds4delegates.com/) is to produce a series of 4 professional-quality dvds tailored specifically to the entire base of GOP delegates, and to send these 4 dvds to every GOP delegate and alternate in the country. These dvds will each be around 90 minutes long, for a total series length of about 6 hours. Within these 4 dvds, we will explain to the delegates

-- How the Republican Party has drifted from its original conservative principles, and why this is causing a mass exodus from this party.
-- Which actions will be needed for the Republican Party to return to its conservative, Constitutional roots, and how this will strengthen the party.
-- How Ron Paul is the portrait of a real conservative, and how McCain is the opposite.
-- Evidence that McCain won't be able to win the general election against Obama.
-- Notification that Dr. Paul is STILL ELIGIBLE for the GOP nomination, and explanation of the delegate process (bound/unbound; there are still enough unbound delegates to elect Dr. Paul!)
-- Explanation of our country's current economic crisis, and how the bad policies and principles of both the Democrats and Neocons have brought us to this point; and what can be done to restore prosperity to our country.
-- The moral and legal implications of the GOP delegates choosing to support Dr. Paul at the Republican National Convention.
-- Practical advice about the workings of the national convention, and what a GOP delegate who wants to support Dr. Paul needs to do.

The dvds won't have any external indication that they are related to Ron Paul; rather, the dvds will be mailed out and presented (truthfully!) as important information that the GOP delegates need to know before they vote at the national convention.

Keep in mind that there are several good reasons to educate the GOP delegates: not only do they have the power to elect Dr. Paul the GOP nominee, but these delegates are also the current and future leaders of the Republican Party. If they watch these dvds and begin critically thinking about and questioning the neocon principles, and begin understanding why supporting freedom is crucial to this country's future, we may see a significant change in the GOP in future years and elections. NOW is the time to reach these delegates.

After the dvds are sent, we will have volunteers "adopting" delegates, to call them, make sure that they have watched the dvds, and answer any questions they have. We need to get to know these GOP delegates personally, for this project to have the most impact.

We have made great progress on the creative aspects of this project, but presently, DVDs 4 Delegates is seriously underfunded! We need everyone who still wants Dr. Paul to have a shot at the GOP nomination, to donate anything you can to this project:

Please Donate to DVDs 4 Delegates Here:
http://www.dvds4delegates.com/ (click on Donate)

If you make a donation, your money will be used to provide dvds to delegates from YOUR state.

We need a total donation of $3500 from each state. At present, almost every state is extremely short of this fundraising target.

The dvds' content will be posted on YouTube as they are completed. However, please don't wait until then to donate to this project.

The Ron Paul movement achieved world records in the past, when funding Dr. Paul's campaign. Please, donate to the DVDs 4 Delegates project, and help us to fight for this last chance to educate and change the opinions of the GOP delegates to the national convention. Even a donation of $5 from each Ron Paul supporter will do a tremendous amount to help realize this important, and possibly historically significant, project. The GOP delegates aren't going to magically change their minds on their own; we need to reach out to them NOW and communicate the importance of their role as delegates, and how the candidate they choose to elect at the national convention is a serious moral choice for them.

Thanks in advance for your help! Feel free to email me with any questions.

Clinton: Delegates are all fair game

Associated Press
April 4, 2008

Hillary Clinton hinted Thursday that she hoped to persuade some delegates pledged to Barack Obama to back her instead. "There is no such thing as a pledged delegate," Clinton said in Burbank, Calif., adding: "The whole point is for delegates, however they are chosen, to really ask themselves who would be the best president and who would be our best nominee against Sen. [John] McCain." While there is no rule requiring pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses to vote for the candidate, such delegates are selected by the campaigns that won them.
