National Movement

Republicans nationwide have noticed Paul’s organization and takeover strategy, one Nevada Republican leader said.
“I just came back from the national (Republican National Committee) meeting and everybody was talking about the Ron Paul, well-organized takeover,” said Heidi Smith, Nevada national GOP committeewoman.
Paul’s troops have been large and in charge at many GOP functions across the nation that lead into the states’ GOP convention. Consider:

- In last week’s Minnesota congressional district conventions, Paul took 20 of 24 delegates available for the state convention. Rick Santorum won 45 percent of the state’s nonbinding caucus in February, with Paul getting 27 percent.

- Paul’s supporters swarmed last week’s Texas Republican Senate district conventions, making a push to gain more control of the party, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

- Also last week, the King County, Wash., GOP gathered to choose its candidates for the state convention but the meeting quickly turned into a circus.

When a Paul supporter was elected to lead the meeting, a local GOP official expelled the gathering from a local middle school. It was forced to conclude on an outside basketball court. It was just another dust-up between Paul supporters and local GOP officials, according to a report in the Seattle Times.

“There is no other campaign that feels the need to poke the party in the eye like the Ron Paul campaign,” King County GOP chairwoman Lori Sotelo told the Times. “For heaven’s sake stop hitting us with a fire hose.”

this is great to see, i am genuinely excited by all this and i am not in america. Maybe instead of OWS the ron paul supporters can start ORP and have peaceful sit ins in every major city for the entire summer. Could you imagine the media trying to ignore that.
