Delegation chair Marianne Stebbins says state's delegates are "overwhelmingly Ron Paul supporters" and that she "doesn't think Mitt Romney is a strong candidate."

Minnesota’s delegation to the Republican National Convention will not back Mitt Romney when the party gathers in Tampa next week. Instead, 32 of the state’s 40 nominating votes will be cast for Ron Paul during the roll call of states, according to Marianne Stebbins—chair of the delegation.

Here's one of our delegates, and a friend of mine, proposing an amendment to the platform that protects our 5th amendment rights, unfortunately, it didn't pass. :(

I'll tell you all about it after the convention. Things are still in flux. I can tell you MN didn't give anything up.

it was noticed in some media that we were in there trying. It isn't just calcified rubber stamping going on.

What despicable people. Don't they care about the future of "The Movement ®"? At least Jesse Benton does.

That is only because our guys are in the leadership positions in the GOP now.

Also...


David Arvidson, the Republican challenger for Minnesota House District 46B, echoed those sentiments and said Ron Paul supporters like him aren’t trying to destroy the Republican Party; they’re trying to save it. Arvidson is contemplating writing in Paul’s name come election time.

“It’s a curious thing, and it’s politics at work,” he said. “It’s a grassroots movement trying to have an effect at the national level. To me, the two parties have become either big government or big business, and we just think it should be big people.”

Stebbins also stressed Ron Paul supporters are “not abandoning the party” and many are volunteering for a variety of Republican candidates seeking state and federal office this fall.

Yeah sorry, figure of speech. When I wrote that I had just finished reading other things from other delegates too.
