Ron Paul in eclipse? Hardly! Summary of dirty tricks against him

From his webmaster: Yesterday afternoon, Minnesota was added to the list of Ron Paul wins with a stunning victory. Out of the 40 national delegates Minnesota will send to the Tampa, Florida Republican National Convention in August, a whopping 32 are Ron Paul supporters! It was incredible. But the truth is, we're not done yet! That's why, if you haven’t yet given to what is likely the final money bomb of Ron Paul's political career, hope you will contribute as generously as you can IMMEDIATELY. You see, there are still state conventions in Iowa, Washington, Missouri, and elsewhere where we’re working feverishly to pick up new delegate spots and take over key positions within the Republican Party. These final battles are critical to our R3VOLUTION. Each victory not only means you and I will have greater influence on the Republican Party, but it also sends a loud and clear message that is being heard all over the country . . . You and I are not going away – not until free markets, sound money, and respect for individual liberty are finally restored in America. That’s always been what this campaign is all about. So please, if you haven't yet given, please contribute as generously as you can right away! For Liberty, John Tate Campaign Manager P.S. If you haven’t yet given to what is likely the final money bomb of Ron Paul's political career, I hope you will contribute as generously as you can IMMEDIATELY. There are still several critical fights going on throughout the country. And each victory brings us one step closer to restoring sound money, free markets, and respect for individual liberty in America.

Despite the Dirty tricks in red below That is the way we will impact the platform in Tampa. That is the way we will begin the process of change. It is through the caucuses that we are attracting youth, like the twenty-one year old woman recently elected to the national committee from Maine or the Ron Paul Hispanics or the Independents who have never been involved in party politics. . Yes there is pain. . The establishment turned off the air conditioning at the Arizona State GOP Convention last weekend, trying to sweat the Ronulans into leaving. . In Oklahoma they pulled out a ballroom divider to cordon off Ron Paul supporters and shut them out of participation. Later they turned out the lights. Voice votes that were clearly lost were declared won. . In Carson County, Nevada they turned off a microphone when a Hispanic tried to speak, they knew that Hispanics were for Ron Paul. . In Minnesota they told their people not to vote for any delegate under the age of fifty. . In Alaska, they defeated the majority by retaining the committee which “interpreted rules” and later, after taking the delegation, reluctantly gave up the party control to the new majority but transferred all of the money out of the Republican Party accounts. . In Virginia, at a District Convention, they coaxed the Ron Paul delegation outside and then locked the door. The pastor of the church that was hosting the event was, himself, locked outside. . In Missouri they had all the delegates sign up at County Conventions and then had their County Chairman take the rolls outside and lock them in their car trunks so they could block roll call voting and have their chairman declare lost voice votes as won. At another convention delegates were arrested. . Our people have been punched, yelled at, lied to and worked until they can hardly stand. But on they come, fighting for their children, fighting for their future, angry at the corruption of the banks, of Wall Street, of the lobbyists, of the congress, of the White House. The battle for liberty is not over. It has just taken on a new phase. It cannot be stopped by the national media. If that were the case it would never have been born in the first place. . And some will say that it is a lost cause, which I will not concede but it does remind me of Clarence Darrow’s famous line, “Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.” More good news from an individual email minuteman: Military Detention Law Blocked by New York Judge http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-16/military-detention-law-blocked-by-new-york-judge.html /\/.\/\/.
