    Young Americans for Liberty, a non-profit continuation of Students for Ron Paul with over 220 chapters nationwide, announced in an email today that they will be forming a YAL-affiliated PAC this summer. With this PAC, they plan to:

    • Identify 25,000 young people interested in advancing liberty through the political process.
    • Train at least 1,000 YAL members to run for office, manage a campaign, or organize a grassroots effort.
    • Endorse up to 100 campaigns by finding candidates, staffing their campaigns, or providing financial support (through a YAL-affiliated PAC).
    • Win at least 25 elections which will advance liberty through the public policy process.
    The email continues:

    This summer, YAL will form an affiliated PAC to provide you and me with greater flexibility to participate in the electoral process. This PAC will be the rallying point for our cause to find, support, and elect the best candidates throughout the country.

    At the same time, YAL's Year of Youth project will identify, train, and mobilize at least 1,000 youth activists willing to commit themselves in support of these candidates.

    Are you planning on becoming a delegate in 2012?

    Although the RNC convention is nearly 18 months away, we should start planning today.

    The process to become an RNC delegate varies greatly by state, but most involve becoming a precinct, county, congressional district, or state delegate first.

    The amount of power that delegates hold is absolutely incredible. While rules vary on local, state, and national levels, delegates are responsible for electing the party leadership, writing the platform, endorsing candidates in primaries, or even directly choosing the nominee for state offices without any involvement from regular voters. Of course, RNC delegates are also responsible for nominating the Republican Party's Presidential candidate.

    Knowing that delegates have such great influence on the party and elections...

    Are you planning on becoming a delegate in 2012?

    EDIT: If you would like more information on the process, please post a reply that includes your state of residence. If you are not comfortable making that information public, send me a PM.
