A 'learning opportunity' for newcomers




-- and do you have the financial means... oh and, do you pledge to support the Republican Presidential nominee after the convention? -- and stay out of politics

This could be interesting.

Paul delegates get their orders

Potential delegates were advised of an expectation to "contribute to the 'TV image' of the Party by being present, applauding and cheering at the 'right' places, etc."

In addition, the email went on:

Platform ignored
"You should also be aware that, unlike your service as a State or local delegate, your influence on the process is considerably limited. The other primary states will, by convention time, have determined the Presidential nominee. The platform process is divided and the opportunity to participate in even a piece of it is limited. After the convention, the platform is generally ignored. For this reason, the role of National Delegate is generally seen as a 'reward' for long and faithful service to the Party, rather than as a 'representative' to a deliberative body or a 'learning opportunity' for newcomers."
