Amazing how what would normally be a nothing subject has turned news worthy because the name Ron Paul is in there some where.

Kick their ass Matt.

No one is throwing him out of the party…cummon now he violates executive county rules by using his title when he writes opinion pieces and acts unprofessionally when representing the exec. committee…

Is this what you did, Matt?

In a way, his disclaimer here is doing just that, no?

I dont think he would be able to participate in this forum if ive read the rules correctly. How ridiculous...

No, I never claim to speak for the Party. See my signature :)

This isn't about me, I just happen to be in the middle of it. This is about the fact that the Republican Party is systematically attempting to purge Ron Paul Republicans. It could happen to ANYONE OF US who try to work within the GOP. If you don't believe me then search this forum for the name "Jim Greer" or "Will Pitts".

?? he has been a blessing to the Ron Paul Revolution, would you rather the man just not get involved. i have never seen him self-promote, only inform!

Matt is on the front lines trying to make a difference. He's helped influence the introduction and subsequent passage of legislation affirming state sovereignty that has had reverberations around the country. What notable contribution have you made?

I do sometimes, usually its just for fun. But most of the time when I do there is a serious and important reason for it.

Yeah, right. I see "Matt Collins For President" bumper stickers where ever I go.

How were you elected? How can they nullify the vote?

Secondly, if you've never been registered as any other party, what party would they believe you should be registered in, since you're voting presumably with a GOP Ron Paul.

I understand why the bastards would want you out, but how can they even remotely justify it without looking like fools?

[Matt Collins]

How were you elected? I was elected in an open public forum and actually tied for the chair on the first vote.


Secondly, if you've never been registered as any other party, what party would they believe you should be registered in, since you're voting presumably with a GOP Ron Paul.There are no party registrations in TN. But they are using ignorance as a tool to perpetuate the lie that I'm a "Libertarian" when in fact I'm NOT a member of the LP.


I understand why the bastards would want you out, but how can they even remotely justify it without looking like fools?They can't, and your guesstimate about the result is accurate. Read some of the comments here:

"when in fact I'm NOT a member of the LP."

make sure you point that out in the deliberations -- you are going to get to
respond to the "charges" aren't you?

do you have any idea of how it's going to go down, i.e. party rules that deal with the situation?

do you have your own parliamentarian that will be there to support you?
