VERY helpful! Thanks
Done! Thanks !
Freedom! Freedom! Sometimes, I feel, like a nationless child. Oh Freedom, Freedom!
That form was to sign up for the convention in Minnesota. I'm still a little confused by all this. It says delegates will not be chosen until Feb. Do delegates have to travel out of state to nominate a candidate??Originally Posted by Uncle Seth
The ambiguous use of "delegate" causes confusion again. The process in Florida is to pick "state caucus delegates" who will then chose the "national nominating convention delegates." Does that help?

I get it, but just pointing out the distinction in names probably doesn't help the people who haven't been following this closely.
We could really use a post that we could reference for others, that explains the different types of delegates in plain english.
Hi!
So, we have to choose delegates that will in turn choose other delegates???

By jove, I think she's got it!So, we have to choose delegates that will in turn choose other delegates???
Actually, we need you to be a state convention delegate so OUR PEOPLE choose the right national convention delegates.

I know you get it, and I get it, but that's still not simple and plain enough english to get people interested and up to speed to start looking up their own state info. In my experience, expecting people to make sense of that much process and political text in one go, without any background is rarely effective.
We need casual voters to get interested as well.
Too many projects on my plate, but I'll try to tackle this one next week unless someone else does.
Hi!
We filled those out a few weeks ago. I guess it's normal not to get any response except a bunch of newsletters?
I'm still reaaaally confused by the process, but I'm doing my best.
Contact them and confirm they received your applications. Don't leave anything to chance in FLA.
Hi!
Uhm, how impecible does your uh, history need to be to become a delegate?
Evan
If they'll take me they'll take anybody. And they DID choose me to go to P-IV. Competition's a little tougher for this one (225 seats instead of 2250), but the process looks to be the same:
1) Volunteer NOW @ http://rpof.org/rnc.php (You'll need your voter registration number)
2) Get certified to the state Republican Executive Committee delegate list
3) Primary occurs (January)
4) Local Republican Executive Committees form delegate selection caucuses
5) Caucuses use primary results as their guide for delegate selection
6) Get selected by local caucus (Feb-April) or by state REC (Feb-May)
7) Save up $2500 for travel expenses
8) Go to the Minnesota convention in September & VOTE FOR RON PAUL
If you'd like to discuss it some more, join us at the Ron Paul Supporters of Indian River County Meetup on Sunday, December 2, at 7 p.m. Venue is New Century Buffet ($11 plus tax for dinner). http://ronpaul.meetup.com/688
You need to call ur local GOP. Then attend their meetings. It's there that you get the information about becoming a delegate. I recommend joining the executive committee. In Miami we get delegate information in January. So I'll be sure to attend that meeting
Restore The Republic
We did call the local GOP (both counties here). They told us to just go register on the website, nothing else. Now we're hearing that you have to attend 3 meetings (they're held once a month) in order to be considered. Well, now there aren't 3 meetings left before the primaries, but no one can seem to tell us whether or not those meetings must be attended before the primaries, or if ones after will count. The meetings are a LONG drive for us and with two toddlers, there's no way we can attend, especially if they won't count or if there aren't enough to count before the primaries.You need to call ur local GOP. Then attend their meetings. It's there that you get the information about becoming a delegate. I recommend joining the executive committee. In Miami we get delegate information in January.

so how do I become a State Delegate ... and how do I become a National Convention delegate. I want to do as much as I can.
I think many more would step up if it wasn't so freaking confusing. My husband and I are talking about doing it now and........I'll let you know what I find out as I find it out.
I will say this. There are a lot of RP supporters in FL offering to cover the expense to the Convention for a RP delegate.
Don't let the cost stop you. If money is the only thing getting in a way, put it out there and you'll get hooked up with the right people who will help to get you there.
Looks like the place to start is finding out what you can from your local meetup groups, then next, start attenting your local REC meetings.
i just applied. lets hope it works out. its been something i've been meaning to do for a few weeks now.
thats basically how I feel. I want to be a delegate, but the cost is what will end up hurting me in the long run
Hey UFCGavin, fellow Wackbagger here! abudabit.
No kidding. We were figuring that worst case scenario we drive up there and sleep in the car, lol.
I just applied to become a delegate as well.
The meeting is January 10th. Which is kind of disappointing for me since I'll be out of country.You need to call ur local GOP. Then attend their meetings. It's there that you get the information about becoming a delegate. I recommend joining the executive committee. In Miami we get delegate information in January. So I'll be sure to attend that meeting
haha what up! you gonna become a delegate as well?
Yeah, but in Texas. We're gonna kick some a$$, we're number #1 in delegate candidates in states which allow early registration.
In Broward, they cancelled the January executive committee meeting (how convenient).
I went to the November meeting and got the info on being a Precinct Committeeman. Pretty simple. From what I understand, I'll need to attend 3 committee meetings to be considered on the caucus delegation nomination list.
The nominations are "supposed" to start here in February and selection to conclude in April. However, I will not have been able to attend 3 meetings in time to get nominated.
Some questions left unanswered:
1) Without 3 meetings, can I still be nominated as a delegate from our county?
2) Do the primary result delegates go based on the county's vote or the entire state (eg. if Ron Paul wins Broward, do the Ron Paul delegates go for Broward, or the overall winner of Florida)?
3) Also, there are delegates based on the primary results and At-Large delegates. How are the At-Large candidates chosen? Are those chosen at the county level as well??
Anyone know how this works???
When you find answers to this let me know. I'm in Broward as well but got on this delegate idea a little late, so I haven't attended the 3 meetings.
Hm, well... I'm going to our December meeting as far as I can tell. Actually, I've been invited to come and represent Dr. Paul and give a... speech? Something of that sort. God help me...
Hi, I'm a committee woman for my precinct in Pinellas County (St. Petersburg). I will have attended my THIRD meeting on Jan 6th and I have registered on the Convention website... what do I do now? Sorry if my question has been answered but I've been so confused with all the different information I've been hearing.
Also: Maria.. are you Maria from RPR's chat? If so, Hi!
