The Tea Party Patriots' mission is to restore America's founding principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
We are writing to you because we feel that the best presidential
candidate may not be represented in the current field.
We have thought of a way to get the attention of the Republican Party
and possibly change the outcome of the 2012 Election. It would take a
coordinated effort by our Patriot Groups Nationwide, hopefully
starting with your state.
As you are aware, running a Third Party Candidate would give the win
to Obama. So, how do we get the attention of the Republican Power
Brokers? When a candidate acquires 1144 delegates from the Primaries
and Caucuses, he becomes the designated Presidential Candidate and the
National Convention becomes a formality. It is just a big party (at
taxpayers expense) and all for show.
We must strive to prevent this from happening. The way to do this
would be to try to control the results of the primaries and caucuses
in the states so that in the end no candidate has the needed 1144
delegates. Most states have both pledged and unpledged delegates who
could change their votes after the first roll call vote.
The goal is to have an “Open Convention”. How can we accomplish
this? We must get as many people as possible to vote to keep the
current leader from amassing enough votes to extend his lead, with the
goal of all candidates ending the Primaries with less than 1144
delegates. All candidates would still be in the race and get a final
chance to state their case to the Nation. Nominations could be made
from the floor. Possibly a person that has not been in the primaries
to that point could emerge as a true leader (to Patriot standards)
that all Patriot groups, Independents and many reasonable Democrats
would vote for. It would also give us the opportunity to present
Planks from our “Patriot Party Platform”.
This would be a desperate move for desperate times, but we need to
show that we, as a group, are serious about making the necessary
changes and to support those Patriots who stepped up and ran for
election in 2010. We helped them then and we must help them now to
finish what we started. The Nation cannot survive four more years of
going in the wrong direction.
Please help us by making sure that all Patriot Groups in your state
are on board and ready to move before your Primary date. We will
inform the next states. If we all work together, we can do this or at
least let the Country know that we are still around and ready for
the fight.
We know that all states have different rules and that you may have to
adapt to them. Please let us know of any problems or suggestions that
you may have before the next primary. Please pick a state or region
leader to keep in touch with us for coordination purposes.
