It may get to that point. Definately something to consider.

I think you should call Jimmy Carter. This is worse than Africa or whatever.

That's pretty f'd up.
Time to lawyer - up. There's gotta be pro-bono's out there that would attend in some areas.

The Ron Paul campaign should spend some of that $5 million to help the cause.

Just to play devil's advocate, can't a political party run their organization anyway they see fit? I.e. don't they make their own rules?

Someone mentioned state statutes -- is there really a legal aspect to it?

But wouldn't the rules form a certain sort of "contract"? I mean, even ignoring election laws etc... seems that rules make a "contract."

I mean... a store can (in theory anyways) run their business however they want, but they can't change things once they state them... it's kinda a what, unspoken contract? They can't post an item for $10, then silently charge your credit card $30, for example. Why? Because they posted it as $10. If there was never a posted price, just a $30 charge at the counter--that would be legal, although 99% of people would ask the price first.

Same with a group, I would think. If there are no posted rules, anything goes (pretty much). If they have rules though, they need to either follow them or change them in the manner stated in the rules.

Well, first of all, I would never belong to a group that would have me as a member.

But seriously, I don't think joining a group is considered a contract. It's more of a voluntary act of participation, because you can quit any time. And in your example of a purchase, money changes hands at an agreed price, so if they charged your credit card more than what is agreed, it would be fraud or theft.

But I'm not an attorney, therefore I make no representation as to validity of the previous claim, and will not be held liable for any damages arising from application of said claims to any legal arrangement spoken or unspoken.
