We need more delegates! I'm signed up but we need more. When we have a final list, we need to mail the delegates information on Ron Paul for sure. Looks like we could have a quite a fight at the Convention.

You should be contacting everyone that is signed up for the WV Meetup groups. This forum is only a fraction of the Ron Paul supporters around.

I agree. Someone needs to contact every person who signed up for meet up groups in that state.

E-mail that to the WV meetup-groups...

Gee, I haven't been bitching about this for the past 2 weeks

I also PMed Don, demanding the campaign get the ball rolling in WV about a week ago, no response. I demanded that the campaign let us phone bank WV supporters.

Anywho, I actually just got done e-mailing every single Meetup member in West Virginia. Here is the e-mail I sent out to them:

Ron Paul in 2nd Place in West Virginia

...but he needs YOUR help to win.

As of Nov. 25, Ron Paul is currently in 2nd place in West Virginia, behind only Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney, who are tied for first. Ron Paul trails Thompson and Romney by a mere 13 delegates. He leads Giuliani by 3, McCain by 40, and Huckabee by 43.

What are these "delegates"? A delegate is basically a vote. West Virginia determines it's Republican primary winner by delegates who attend the GOP state convention on Feb. 5, Super Tuesday. Each delegate represents a candidate of their choice. At the GOP state convention, the delegates cast their vote for President, and only their votes count. Whichever candidate gets a majority of the delegates to vote for him wins the state.

The good part is, YOU (yes you) can become a delegate. The only 2 requirements are you must be a registered Republican and pay a $25 filing fee. Then, you can drive to Charleston on Feb. 5 to cast your vote for Ron Paul. Not a registered Republican? No problem. You can switch party affiliations up until November 30 and still become a delegate. (You can always switch back after the convention.) Not able to make it to Charleston? No problem. If you can't make it, you can select an alternate to go for you. Can't afford the $25 filing fee and/or gas to get to Charleston? No problem. There is a fund set up to help mobilize Ron Paul delegates. Furthermore, transportation can be arranged.

If you were holding off on filing to become a delegate, I urge you to do so NOW. The deadline to file is November 30. We still need a massive amount of delegates in EVERY West Virginia county, except Pendleton and Pleasants Counties.

BECOMING A DELEGATE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY MONEY YOU COULD GIVE TO RON PAUL OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU COULD DO FOR HIM AT THIS POINT. For those who don't believe we can win West Virginia -- we can -- but we need every Meetup member, every Ron Paul supporter in the state to do this 1 thing.

PLEASE visit the following website to learn more, and take action in the next 5 days:

As you can see from Ron Paul's current standing, we are in a great position to carry West Virginia. The W.V. race will have national implications because West Virginia will be the first state to announce it's primary winner on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5 and thus affect states still in voting, such as California on the West Coast.

Ron Paul (and the nation) are counting on you!

I also mentioned county-specific information and personalized each and every individual e-mail.
