Next step for Minnesota
Everyone did a fantastic job Tuesday night! We elected many delegates, more than the straw poll indicates, as you guys stuck around, voted for and ran for delegates. In many precincts where Romney won the straw poll, we still won a majority of delegates.
We’re on to Step Two: election of delegates from the local conventions to the Congressional District and State conventions.
If you were elected delegate or alternate from your caucus, you need to attend your County or Senate District convention, for which you have already received a convention call, or soon will. These will be held as early as February 23 and into March.
We will be going through much the same process as with the caucuses. You will receive a list of fellow supporters also elected delegate or alternate, and you need to coordinate amongst yourselves (with our help) to elect a full slate to the next conventions.
We are still trying to get a picture of where our delegate strength lies, and will be getting a full delegate list from the MN GOP next week. Then we will need your to help us call and identify whom the other delegates support, as many Ron Paul supporters are still not in our database.
If you were not elected delegate, we can still use your help with your local convention. If you have a lawn sign, literature and/or stickers, be prepared to take them to that convention.
We think we’re going to elect 9 or more national delegates out of Minnesota, so stay tuned for further news and directions.
Thank you all for your dedication and excellent work. It has and will continue to pay off!
(I apologize that I am not able to personally respond to email right now. At this point, I am trying to get through the thousands of caucus reports you all have been so good to send.)
