Ron Paul Campaign Accuses Alaska Republican Party Of Obstructing And Disenfranchising Ron Paul Delegates, Litigation Not Excluded

however, from a post of an Alaska GOP email since then, I think this is resolved and they are still going to allow registration, after all, up to the convention.

Still, here is the write up, which you should really read because it is VERY CLEAR why the Alaska GOP did an about face, and this might be what Swann was referring to, at least in part:

From the article:


Furthermore, those attempting to pay delegate fees have been frustrated at every turn by party officials. Examples of this include a woman who tried to pay her delegate fee with a check but was then told but was told that the party does not accept checks. She the went an obtained a money order, which the party took, but then party officials informed her that the party did not take money orders, although they have not yet returned the money order to her. Others seeking to pay their delegate fees have been subject to a moving target as to what form of payment the party will accept — if they come with a check, they are told checks are unacceptable, if they come with a credit card, they are told the party does not take credit cards. Party officials have told others trying to pay their delegate fees that the party will not accept cash. If the party will not take cash, credit cards, money orders, or checks, what other form of legal tender will it
take?

The Ron Paul campaign understandably concludes that these anomalies are too numerous and pervasive to be attributed merely to ignorance and inefficiency, and suggests they constitute a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise Ron Paul delegates. David Warrington warns in his letter that the campaign is prepared to pursue litigation if necessary to resolve the issue.

This is just soooo messed up! And it's been going on in just about every state. It just makes my head want to http://i54.tinypic.com/scxvep.jpg

If you were wondering if there was another reason to donate to the moneybomb besides jsut getting to Tampa, this would be the other reason....

And Alaska may be far from the only state where legal action is taken if they don't play fair like we forced Missouri to....
