RON PAUL "write in" BOMB!, page 9

It doesn't matter. Ron Paul write-ins will indeed hurt both candidates.

But when both are promising to continue the American Imperialistic Agenda and both are ignoring 95% of Americans by voting FOR the Bail-Out, I guess my hands are tied. I see this situation as having no choice.

Why should more than 5% of the population vote of either McCain or Obama when they're voting against 95% of Americans when voting for the Bail-Out. They only deserve 5% split between them.

Ron Paul is the only choice I see. I will write him in. If it helps McCain win, so be it. If it helps Obama win, so be it. Maybe the rest of American should have opened their eyes when there was still a chance. Pay attention to what congress is passing.

No one cared when the banking industry was deregulated. No one cared when the media industry was deregulated. Now we have the most concentrated amount of money being made by mega-conglomerates and they're capitalizing monopolies across the board. There's no longer room for the little guy in these businesses.

Did anyone pay attention when this happened? I did.

But, most people were far too busy watching American Idol and shopping at the mall for stuff they really could not afford, but put on credit cards anyway. Thus, securing this credit crisis.

Don't expect me to change my vote just so your candidate can get elected. Ron Paul is what America needs. No more fat-cats bending, breaking and passing laws for their fat-cat friends.

Obama and McCain = More of the Same.

Ron Paul for president.

While I would love nothing more than to have Ron Paul as President I can not see how this will succeed or even have a chance at success.
2008 Presidential Election Write-In Rules
The above URL details easy to read Write-in rules for the states. Take a look and then you will see why.

18 of the states will not count Write-in candidates that do not file intent.

At least 9 states disallow candidates to file intent as a Write-in if they lose the primary.

At least 3 states disallow a Write-in period.

That is 12 states right off the bat that are against a Write-in of Ron Paul.
If Ron Paul fails to file intent then it is 30 states against him. 30 States he can not win period.

Only 12 states appear to have no rules and 10 states are unclear in the chart. The Unclear ones can likely be determined via a previous post with state rules.

With the above in mind, If Ron Paul does not file intent to be a write-in he is doomed to loose period imho.
The above does not account for the Electoral Vote, the vote that actually elects the next President. I do not see the Electoral College voting for Ron Paul, possibly if he files intent but not otherwise.
The only thing I see being accomplished is taking votes from actual contender.

As Ron Paul gave his endorsement (09/22/2008) to Chuck Baldwin I will be voting for him.
Scroll to the bottom of the posts main text to see his endorsement.
Keep ties to Ron Paul by al means, but please do not write him in, instead vote for who he endorsed.

Wow, this is good stuff to know. At least now I know to look for Mr. Baldwin on the ballot.

In all seriousness - is there any way to find out who is going to be on your individual ballot for state (or whatever)?

I just found out in Georgia, the Constitution Party is not on the ballot.

I'm devastated. First, I can't write in Ron Paul, then I can't vote for the person who he supports. What on earth am I going to do?

Actually "Carseller4", I'm glad you bumped this. This thread is proof for those just now waking up about the MSM and their lies and manipulating political agendas to make sure THEIR candidate is the next president of the U.S. They smeared Ron Paul back then, just as they are trying to do now. Luckily Ron Paul has much more support and it's getting bigger every day.

Eventually more and more people are going to get seriously fed up with the dog and pony tricks of the MSM, and "revolution" will be an understatement. It's bound to happen, in fact I would venture to say it's inevitable at some point.

3-4 years later, after being strongly anti-Obama....I will be voting for him for a second term.
