Google is much, much more than a search engine.

And that RPR is none other than.... ME!

That's right, I finally won the committeewoman seat for my precinct. I sort of wish I'd won it by beating an opponent, but I didn't; I won by default, because no one else signed up to run for the seat.

I started the local Ron Paul supporter group in this county back in 2007, and we've been gradually taking over the GOP committee here (like other Missouri counties are doing). As of the last election we had a majority of the seats. This time we will have a super-majority. A bunch of precinct seats remain to be filled because no one signed up for them, and we will be filling them in August with as many RPRs as possible.

Worth noting from the 2012 election, RPRs were elected to all of the officer positions on the county committee and we took several officer positions in local senatorial and congressional district committees as well. These are the people who choose the candidates to fill vacated positions like the US Rep.

When Jo Anne Emerson left her seat open, there were not quite enough RPRs to give the candidacy to Bob Parker and we ended up with Jason Smith -- who hasn't done a totally bad job so far, but he doesn't stand on principle all the time (as Parker would without question have done).

Most of the people I know who liked Obama are now talking about Rand Paul. A lot of them got turned by the Syria business and the rest have finally seen the light now with the Obamacare fiasco and gov't shutdown. They know how bad Hillary would be and have given up on the idea of seeing her as a successor to O. I could not be more pleased.
