Dear all:
Below is a compilation of the emails related to the Texas Liberty Campaign Convention Sub-Committees’ work to date. Their work is pretty much finalized. The lines of asterisks separate each individual email. The files referenced below after “HOTELS” is in the “Files” section of the Meetup.com site (membership & login required).
Much of this information is also summarized on the following website, which was used during the Ron Paul ’08 Presidential campaign:https://forum.ocati.org/ .
I’ve tried to summarize the most crucial information below as:
1) general information about the San Marcos Texas Liberty Campaign Convention in July
2) Second Texas Liberty Campaign Convention Committee’s Minutes of the Meetings (teleconferences, separate files)
3) Adopted report of the agenda subcommittee (separate file)
4) Initial Report of the Bylaws Subcommittee (separate file)
Please check the above website and read the materials there, as it will answer most of your questions not answered in the information below. I’m updating this document as soon as I can after it becomes available.
=============================
General information about the Second Texas Liberty Campaign Convention
WHO: Anyone who cares about their liberties and is willing to come, per below. It’s not a prerequisite that you attended the Feb 28-March 1 Austin convention to be able to attend this convention, as a guest. If you were a delegate to the first convention, you are a delegate to the San Marcos convention. If you were an alternate, you’re an alternate again, same seating order as before. However, if you joined HALC after 2/27/09, you can only attend as a guest. You can likely run for a delegate or alternate seat in your respective SD, assuming you are qualified to run there.
WHAT: The Second Texas Liberty Campaign Convention, which arose out of the first convention, held in Austin TX on Feb. 28-March 1, 2009.
WHEN: Sat., July 25 & Sun., July 26, 2009. Starts @ 9:00 am both days. Ends @ appx. 5:00 pm Sat 7/25/09 and NO LATER THAN 5:00 pm Sun 7/26.
WHERE: Texas State University, 601 University Dr., San Marcos, TX 78666. Phone: (512) 245-2111. Website: www.txstate.edu. A Powerpoint presentation of the TSU campus is on the HALC Meetup.com site as Texas Liberty Campaign Host Report.ppt. Here’s a general Mapquest map of the location: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=San+Marcos&state=TX&address=601+University+Dr.&zipcode=78666 .
HOW MUCH: Cost is $20.00 per person, for both days of attendance. They had anticipated having “remote locations” where pre-registered delegates & alternates could have participated. However, that did not become a primary option. They decided to hold the convention in person; and they authorized remote voting. Delegates who wish to participate remotely will be allowed to do so, to the extent allowed in the rules adopted at the convention. The details of the remote voting method we are proposing and preparing for is described in the proposed rules.
PREREGISTRATION: Following is the link to register. Make sure to fill in all fields; otherwise, it won’t let you go to the payment page, and you will have to start over: http://convention.ocati.org/RSVP/.
MEALS: Lunch will only be available for those who prepay (see under “Preregistration”) & we need a head count on those interested in purchasing breakfast items on site.
HOTELS:: If you are going to get a hotel room, you need to book it sooner rather than later–as in today. All prices are quoted for both July 24 & 25 for double rooms. All currently have rooms for the weekend of the 25th. All are within 5 minutes of the University. Without any guarantee’s we cannot get “block rates” because of tourism.
