Lew Rockwell writes: "Hardcore RP delegates to the Republican national convention hope to convince enough McCain delegates to abstain on the first ballot to deny the fascist neocon the nomination, with the hope of eventually nominating Ron. They rightly point out that, as St. Thomas Aquinas said, an unjust law is no law at all, so anyone with a conscience is not required to vote for McCain, no matter what their state government says; indeed, just the opposite.' Read the rest here - it's very, very important:

Everyone has to realize that in most instances there will not be a vote by state delegations. If your state law says that you have to vote for a particular candidate on the first, second, or sometimes third ballot, there will be no vote. The leader of the delegation, usually the State Party Chair or the governor, simply states that all of (insert State's) votes go to McCain. They do not even hold a vote among the delegates because by state law they are already pledged.

That is probably where are covert RP delegates will have to disrupt the proceedings and announce out loud that they abstain.

Not start getting angry though; just insistent.

We will not win the convention, but we can stick to our principles.
