Dear
Aaron,
Welcome to the fourteenth issue of the Truckers4RonPaul.org newsletter.
The biggest issue for the campaign
and its supporters right now is getting delegates to the primaries so that we can push Ron Paul's nomination for the Republican
Party's choice for President!
To help that agenda, I've created a page on the site to help you find out what you
can do to become a delegate or participate in your state's caucus. Click here for that or go to Ron Paul's website for more information:
www.RonPaul2008.com
Also, there have been a few updates otherwise as well,
including a new Ron Paul up-to-the-minute happenings blog:
http://people.ronpaul2008.com/
campaign-updates
Also, author Richard A. Viguerie has started a great
new website about Ron Paul:
www.UltimateRonPaul.com
So tell your friends about Ron Paul and keep on
truckin'!
Sincerely,
Aaron Turpen

bottom of this email there are unsubscribe, forward, and subscribe links for your convenience.

 Meetup Posts Large
Truck-Sized Billboard
The Lake Michigan Ron Paul Meetup Group ( click here to see their site) paid for and had a rolling Ron Paul billboard. Now that the Michigan primaries are over, they've decided to help other states get the word out while recouping some of
thier costs in creating this rolling billboard by selling it on eBay. The billboard is made to attach to a box truck (22
ft. x 10.5 ft) - there are two of them, one for each side. This is a pretty standard box size for small delivery trucks.
The eBay auction lists both signs along with some other information about them and
their use. The signs could even be retro-fitted to ride on the back of a flatbed, trailer, or other vehicle! So if your states primaries are coming up and you want to ake a big splash, maybe you could use the rolling billboard.. Click here to visit the eBay auction. |

Why the Primaries Are So Important
As
you probably know, the primary elections for political parties are actually more important than the general elections that
come later, where each party's candidate is pitted against the others. This is because the primary elections decide
which candidate will represent which party and because these elections are attended by far fewer voters than the general elections
in November. This means that your vote in a given political party's primary election is counted far higher than your
vote in the general elections later on - it's all about statistics. Ad to this the fact that presidential elections
are decided via the Electoral College and not by popular vote (this is a good thing, read more about it), the primary elections
are the only time your presidential vote is really counted!

Poll Managers: Defeating Vote Fraud
A
simple and effective way anyone can help stymie vote fraud in the primaries.
by Fran Tully (www.Freewest.Blogspot.com)
In the past few weeks, there has been a great deal of discussion regarding
vote fraud - especially from the Ron Paul camp. I personally believe that there is a high probability that the voting machines
are cheating voters out of a fair election. In order to keep a closer eye on the situation, I signed up as a Poll Manager.
I learned that ANYONE can refuse to use the electronic voting machines, and that they will be allowed to vote using a paper
ballot. The idea occurred to me that it might be a good idea to use the "Ron Paul Network" to get that information
out quickly. I imagined a few interesting things that might happen. - Every voter who votes for Ron Paul
should INSIST on a paper ballot.
- Those votes would NOT be tallied by the close of the polls and would therefore come
in many hours after the polls have closed.
- This simple tactic would not only get a great deal of local publicity,
it would also get National publicity, and as the word spread, the public could nullify the "Diebold factor" without waiting
until next election cycle.
- This would also assure that there was a clear paper trail that could not be fooled with.
The paper votes would be recorded in 2 places, in addition to having a "V" placed in the voter book at each precinct. It would
be very unlikely that they would lose that book.
- This is a simple, cost free solution to the vote fraud concern.
- By
next voting cycle, IF the media reports on this, voters for all candidates might adopt this idea and derail the attempt for
unscrupulous individuals to steal our elections by tampering with the Diebold machines.

Bonnie says:
I just talked with Clint Townsend of Amarillo Ron paul Meet-up
and he told me of this site. I called him with a suggestion that some supporters that are local to Amarillo Texas could maybe
paint in HUGE letters RON PAUL on the "Cadillac Ranch" cars. The Amarillo city website say's anyone is welcome to paint anything
that they would like on that art form. So THANK-YOU to anyone who can get the job done.
We are over-the-road
and can clearly see the Cadillac Ranch from I-40. I would love to undertake it myself but we could not schedule it in.
Love all you Freedom Fighters!
