We were handed the new, 60 page platform and asked to vote on it less than an hour later. I was going to vote "No" on accepting it but the Chair slammed the gavel down as he asked for the "nays" leaving me not even an instant to object. The entire thing was staged, there was no debate allowed. There were actually dozens of Ron Paul delegates, they just called out the number of McCain delegates and pretended we weren't there. Get involved locally, our Federal politicians are bought and paid for. We HAVE to take this country back from the local level on up. If you have not done so, PLEASE READ "The Creature From Jekyll Island." I was a delegate there. We were handed the new, 60 page platform and asked to vote on it less than an hour later.
