True Conservative Mutiny at the RNC

ACTIVISM ALERT FOR REPUBLICANS

The following is a collection of resources regarding unconscionable rule changes proposed by elites in the Republican party to suppress the voice of conservative (Tea Party and libertarian) activists across the country. This whole situation is broken down by local FOX News reporter, Ben Swann. It is critical to share this information before these rules can be adopted by the RNC on Tuesday.

TAMPA–On Monday morning, at a meeting of more than 100 Texan delegates and alternates at the Saddlebrook Resort 20 miles north of Tampa, one topic got the crowd more fired up than any other. Delegate Melinda Fredricks read aloud a letter condemning recent changes to the national Republican party’s rules that would allow the GOP presidential candidate to veto and replace state delegates.

Our delegates are in shock that such an amendment even would be presented before the Rules Committee much less passed into rule…Please know from the Texas delegation standpoint that the only way a floor fight can be avoided is for this rule to be stricken.

At that point, the entire Texas delegation stood up and applauded…

While opposition to the rules began with Ron Paul supporters, it has spread to the entire Texas delegation and significant portions of those from South Carolina, Colorado, Virginia and Louisiana too. Mitt Romney’s campaign lawyer Ben Ginsberg proposed the rule last week, but even some Romney supporters are staunchly opposed to the changes. Indiana delegate and Romney supporter James Bopp wrote in an email to RNC members that it’s “the biggest power grab in the history of the Republican Party.” Fredricks, a Romney supporter, says only 30 people of the more than 300 Texan alternates and delegates support Ron Paul, yet the delegation is “united” in its opposition to the rule.

Floor fight: Grass-roots activists battle attempt to rig GOP convention delegate rules Updated: Party bosses offer olive branch; “tense,” “dynamic” situation

…Let me stop here and say that this is NOT…REPEAT NOT a move by a bunch of disgruntled Ron Paul supporters. This is a group of long-time conservative activists, even “party regulars” and lots of Romney supporters, many who go back to the Goldwater days…
