Lately I am seeing more and more of these:


Hello Message to Republican party
THE RON PAUL SUPPORTERS CREED
Here is your deal:

Pay attention Republican Party and Voters.
I am a Ron Paul supporter. This election season, no candidate will
get my vote for the Office of President of the United States of America
except for Ron Paul.There will be no exceptions. If he does not win the
nomination, I will write his name on the ballot.
No amount of slick talking, flip-flopping, wooing, cajoling,
threatening, or condescending will persuade me to vote for any other
contender for that office.
You don't want to admit it, but you know that the Republican Party
cannot beat Obama without me, a Ron Paul supporter. It's long past time
you admit it.
You and I have conflicting goals. I will only cast a vote for
liberty, for peace, for small government, for fiscal sanity and respect
for the Constitution of the United States and adherence to the oath of
office of the Presidency. You however are content merely to vote for
whatever Republican the GOP leadership and the media approve of.
I will not move. I cannot be persuaded. You cannot win without me.
I am not here to convince you that Ron Paul's positions are superior.
I am not here to convince you that his foreign policy is in line with
traditional conservatism. I am not here to convince you that his
understanding of economics put everyone else in Washington to shame. I
am not even here to convince you that the positions of the other
candidates are not materially different than Obama.
No, I don't need to do any of that. I only need to tell you that
without me, you have lost. If you do not vote for Ron Paul in your
Primary or Caucus, you are already defeated. If you fail to nominate Ron
Paul to be the Republican candidate for President, Barack Hussein Obama
will serve a second term.
This is not blackmail.This is not a threat. This is a simple statement of fact.
I stand firm and I will not accept anything less.Ron Paul 2012

I posted this awhile ago and noted the comment was from this article (I don't have the link, but easy enough to google).

I didnt save links. I was just reading. Most recent one that I can remember is about Alaskan chair transferring 100,000 dollars from alaska GOP so that newly elected Ron Paul chairman doesnt get that money. The one before that was I think was about Rhode Island primary....

If you google a big chunk of the creed (too long to do the whole thing; you get a 414 error) you get tons of results. And I just added to several facebook groups. :p

The page admin of the AKRON tea party facebook group "liked" the creed. Not so the Cleveland Tea Party admin.

Cleveland tea party patriots (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cleveland-tea-party-patriots/101558446997) It appears to be a more a simple statement of foolishness. So because your candidate didn't win you will take your marbles go home and pout. And yes, if Barack Obama is reelected it will most likely be because of childish actions like yours.

Thanks for sharing the Creed though, we will make sure to share it and let people know how you will be working to reelect Obama. 22 minutes ago

Tod Mills (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1648938205) At least *I* will be voting for tea party principles. You can sell out if you like. :) 15 minutes ago

I am not a republican voter, but if you would like people like me to vote Republican this year its Ron Paul or nothing.
Their are not enough Republicans anymore, they have been run off like I was.

I posted it on my Facebook wall.

The responses came down to "So you are throwing away your vote and supporting Obama!"

To which I am following up with the quote in my signature.

WHAT IF the delegates which are bound to other candidates, but actually Paul supporters, abstain on the first ballot or vote for Ron Paul?

If they hold true to this creed, that is what will happen.

I was a RP delegate in Louisiana 4 years ago, and there was no penalty (that I know of) for abstaining or voting your conscience.

I am going to print this out to share with my fellow Republicans on the Executive Committee with me in my Counties Republican Party and with the other District One delegates that I will be caucusing with at the State Convention.

Not to be rude or belligerent or even overly confrontational, but merely to impress upon them my resolve and the resolve of other Ron Paul supporters to finally fix the broken Republican Party which at the leadership level has sold out it's rank-and-file members and the American Public for too long.

Got a lot of organizing to do twixt now and May 18th, including buying a suit tomorrow. Be the first time I've worn a suit in decades, I wonder if my fashion sense is still intact...

I've taken the liberty to modify this creed and I plan to use it at my State Convention.

Please critique and provide feedback if you think it needs improvement.

THE RON PAUL SUPPORTERS CREED

Hello Message to Republican party, here is your deal:

Pay attention Republican Party and Voters. I am a Ron Paul supporter.
This election season, no candidate will get my vote for the
Office of President of the United States of America except for Ron Paul.
There will be no exceptions. If he does not win the nomination,
I will write his name on the ballot.

No amount of bargining, slick talking, flip-flopping, wooing, cajoling, threatening,
or condescending will persuade me to vote for any other contender for that office.

You may not want to admit it, but you know that the Republican Party
cannot beat Obama without me. I come from the ranks of Republicans,
Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Independents and even Deomcrats.
I can expand the Republican base. I can take votes away from Obama.
No other candidate has supporters who can do this. It's long past time you admit it.

While we both support a Republican candidate to win the White House,
you and I have conflicting goals. I will only cast a vote for liberty, for peace,
for small government, for fiscal sanity and respect for the Constitution of the
United States and adherence to the oath of office of the Presidency.
You may be content merely to vote for whomever the GOP leadership and the
media approve of. I am not.

I support the Constitution of The United States over the Republican Party.
I will not budge. I cannot be persuaded. You cannot win without me.
I am not here to convince you that Ron Paul's positions are superior.
I am not here to convince you that his foreign policy is in line with
traditional conservatism. I am not here to convince you that his understanding
of economics put everyone else in Washington to shame. I am not even here
to convince you that the positions of the other candidates are not materially
different than Obama, or that they are supported by the same big money donors.

No, I don't need to do any of that. I only need to tell you that without me, you have lost.
If you do not vote for Ron Paul in your Primary or Caucus, you are already defeated.
If you fail to nominate Ron Paul to be the Republican candidate for President, then
Barack Hussein Obama will serve a second term. Not because of my actions, but because of yours.

I do not want this. I do not support Obama. I abhor his policies and his politics.
But the Republican House of Representatives has seen fit to work with him insteading of
opposing him at ever turn. Republicans hold the majority in the House. They control the spending.
Yet even with the election of so-called Tea Party Patriots nothing has changed.
They are now taking money from the same bankers that they ran against.
They have betrayed their principles and their constiuients. I am different.
As the Cadets at West Point pledge so do I. "I will not lie, cheat or steal nor will I tolerate those that do."

This is not blackmail.This is not a threat. This is a simple statement of fact.
I stand firm and I will not accept anything less.

I stand firm. I will accept nothing less than victory for Republicans in November. My goal is the
restoration of The United States of America to principles embodied in the Constitution and the
Declaration of Independence which founded it and which the limited powers of our Federal Government,
which has grown so much it now threatens the very freedoms it is charged with upholding.
I will only support candidates who share this goal.

You may not want to admit it, but you know that the Republican Party

But beyond all those lables I am an first and foremost an American.
I can expand the Republican base. I can take votes away from Obama.
No other candidate has supporters who can do this.
It is long past time you admit it.

of our Federal Government, which has grown so much it that it now threatens the very freedoms
it is charged with protecting. I will only support candidates who share this goal. Ron Paul has championed
the Constitution for 35 years, even his enemies do not question this. Ron Paul supports the Constitution,
therefore I support Ron Paul for President of The United States.

I like but I think it's too long. There is so much 'literature' passed around at conventions that I don't know if you'd be able to hold anyones attention for the amount of time that would be required to read it. I'd try to cut a few paragraphs - just my opinion.

LOVE the suit though....PERFECT. ;-)
