Ron Paul Republicans "Re-Convene" Nevada State Convention

Jun 28, 2008

Reports have started coming in regarding the "alternate" Nevada State Convention made up of Ron Paul patriots playing within the rules legally to elect delegates to the Republican National Convention. The first report came in a post on Ron Paul Forums, Jdayh writes:

They did not have a quorum based on the old convention, but that convention has been invalidated due to rule breaking.(see below in bold) So now they have a new quorum with full attendance.Which means it is fully legal and shall withstand the scrutiny of legal challenges that may come!!!!

There is no "former" convention, the convention NEVER recessed. The convention has always been going on. Under RONR (10th. Ed.) sec. 20, p. 222, ln. 30,

"A recess is a short intermission in the assembly's proceedings, commonly only of a few minutes, which does not close the meeting and after which business will immediately be resumed at exactly the point where it was interrupted."

Thus, by definition, a recess can never be used to close a meeting. Under RONR, there are two types of recess: (1) a privileged motion to recess, requiring a majority vote, or (2) a unilateral recess being declared by the chair if it was provided for in the agenda or program. On April 26th, a RECESS was not provided for in the program or agenda (even though the agenda on April 26th. may have provided for ADJOURNMENT at a particular time, completely different from a recess).

Thus, the purported recess on April 26th. would have been valid ONLY if a motion to recess was made and seconded by the convention delegates, and the motion was voted on by a majority of delegates. Even then, however, the recess could not have been used to close the meeting.

For this reason shown above they now have a new quorum that is roughly 300 (a bit more) delegates. And now business is taking place with full legality and force of law behind them. WE THE PEOPLE SHALL AND WILL PREVAIL

Great work Ron Paul Republicans! We were ALL blatantly robbed with the shenanigans in Nevada at the first convention. Glad to see you attempting to re-claim the "stolen goods".

This whole election reeks of rigging and corruption. Amazing how McCain came from the bottom of the heap to the top now isn't it?

Thanks again! You give me hope...

Ron Paul for President in '08!

More wars and economic collapse wouldn't make me more happy at all.

The voices that stand for peace in every country are always silenced and left to suffer the consequences of the voices of a few calling for wars.

What people need is to break through the propoganda news in every country that imposes on people that certain countries are the enemy.

Any war is only fought to beifit the wealthy in the military industry and oil companies.

Lets hope the United States just collapses economically. Convince the Saudis to trade oil in Euros, have the Japanese dump dollars, and lets hope China, Russia, and Iran combine to invade America. That would make me more happy than voting.

I saw it, and whilst it's a sad possibility that the election can be fixed, if you don't exercise your right to vote,you'll lose it any way.

The no. of non voters dissillusioned with both parties comprise 60% of the electorate. The corporate media doesn't inform you of low turnout to give the impression that your vote for a principled candidate won't make a difference.

Watch youtube videos entitled:

"WHO WINS when 100 MILLION are silent" &

"HACKING Low Turnout (One Non-voter at a Time)"

[uneekflower]

voting does not matter. Watch "Hacking Democracy" on youtube.

Watch youtube video entitled:

"why don't you vote?"

It highlights that 4 the last 40 years, 60% of the public protest the 2 parties by not voting which allows them to get elected. They say that the media reports a landslide 4 their selected candidate, but refuses to report low turnout as it shows 60% of the electorate have enough power 2 throw out both parties for an anti corporate anti necon independent IF THEY VOTE.

Join the VOTE 4 peace movement. Elect an independent this year.

I know Nader's anti-AIPAC, either way he's not going to win. You can kiss the Republic goodbye
