PRIMARY ELE

[GEORGE TAMARO]

    To: ALL PATRIOT GROUPS IN ALL STATES

    Subject: PRIMARY ELECTIONS

    Fellow Patriots:

    We are writing to you because we feel that the best presidential
candidate may not be represented in the current field.

    We have thought of a way to get the attention of the Republican Party
and possibly change the outcome of the 2012 Election. It would take a
coordinated effort by our Patriot Groups Nationwide, hopefully
starting with your state.

    As you are aware, running a Third Party Candidate would give the win
to Obama. So, how do we get the attention of the Republican Power
Brokers? When a candidate acquires 1144 delegates from the Primaries
and Caucuses, he becomes the designated Presidential Candidate and the
National Convention becomes a formality. It is just a big party (at
taxpayers expense) and all for show.

    We must strive to prevent this from happening. The way to do this
would be to try to control the results of the primaries and caucuses
in the states so that in the end no candidate has the needed 1144
delegates. Most states have both pledged and unpledged delegates who
could change their votes after the first roll call vote.

    The goal is to have an “Open Convention”. How can we accomplish
this? We must get as many people as possible to vote to keep the
current leader from amassing enough votes to extend his lead, with the
goal of all candidates ending the Primaries with less than 1144
delegates. All candidates would still be in the race and get a final
chance to state their case to the Nation. Nominations could be made
from the floor. Possibly a person that has not been in the primaries
to that point could emerge as a true leader (to Patriot standards)
that all Patriot groups, Independents and many reasonable Democrats
would vote for. It would also give us the opportunity to present
Planks from our “Patriot Party Platform”.

    This would be a desperate move for desperate times, but we need to
show that we, as a group, are serious about making the necessary
changes and to support those Patriots who stepped up and ran for
election in 2010. We helped them then and we must help them now to
finish what we started. The Nation cannot survive four more years of
going in the wrong direction.

    Please help us by making sure that all Patriot Groups in your state
are on board and ready to move before your Primary date. We will
inform the next states. If we all work together, we can do this or at
least let the Country know that we are still around and ready for

    the fight.

   

    We know that all states have different rules and that you may have to
adapt to them. Please let us know of any problems or suggestions that
you may have before the next primary. Please pick a state or region
leader to keep in touch with us for coordination purposes.

    Good Luck and God Speed.

    Sincerely,

    CENTRAL NEW YORK TEA PARTY PATRIOTS

Sadly, Amanda, Rick Santorum said yesterday he is now discussing dropping out of the race.  He is a nice man, but he is broke and is polling very low.  He would make a great VP if someone chose him, but each of the candidates will need someone who is heavy in foreign policy and some are saying Allen West might be a good choice.  A military man might be just the answer, he was an officer, and he like Gingrich is also a historian.

The moon colony is not something I would poo poo, because when Kennedy said we would put a man on the moon, people felt exactly the same way and he was on point on it and exactly how many years it would take before we succeeded................and we did put a man on the moon.

BTW, party conventions are not conducted at "taxpayer expense". The notion that somehow an "open convention" is the trigger that release a candidate into the field that will take America by storm is pipe dreaming. Americans are not going to be inclined to vote for someone who never bothers to campaign in the primary. There is no Superman swooping to save the day. That is as plausible as a moon colony, Newtopia.

This is the problem when a group such as the tea party goes all in with one party with no threat of a third party run. The tea party will be ignored. Where is a tea party member going to go if they don't like republican candidate. Mitt doesn't represent tea party goals so why vote for him? To prove there is no alternative. I will never vote for Romney, ever. Can Rick get some mojo.

Got a pole done by the liberty news this morning.  If you look at the last question, it indicates the number of folks who would support a 3rd party candidate, and this, at least to me, is what is being done here.  I also suspect as time draws nearer and people truly realize the consequences of such a move, the number will get smaller.

No truer words Patricia.

So, what you are saying is that for the group of tea party members who do not favor the candidates that are the front runners now, you are going to hijack the convention and decide for everyone?  How is that better than what we have right now?  It may not be the insider party members, but the group won't be any larger and will be doing what the insiders do, pick a candidate for all of us whether we like him or not.  And what about all those people who aren't tea party people and are voting for the candidate of their choice; do you advocate taking their right to choose a candidate for themselves, because that is what I am reading here.  That you will put something together and then, you will only allow a candidate that meets your criteria.  Do you really think that candidate can get elected given that you have already seen Romney get battered becaue he was the parties choice for the Republicans.  Personally, I believe if someone does this, the person chosen will not beat Obama and we will be stuck with him for another 4 years.  And right now, I am wholly upset with a small group of dyhards who would vote for a 3rd party candidate and hand the election to Obama rather than accept the majority's choice for president.  How are any of you any better than Obama and his dictatorial rule?
