Mart Papers Mention Straw Poll
Ron Paul's victory did get mentioned in at least the Concord Monitor (search for Ron Paul, it's near the bottom), and the Union Leader. The Union Leader article manages to insinuate attempted cheating based on what a Romney supporter says. Here was my response:
Thanks for covering the straw poll. Phil's comment is right on track - Ron Paul has the best activists and most enthusiastic grass roots support. I don't like the insinuation that there was an attempt to get people from out of town to vote - that is completely false. We did have some people come from out of state just to show support, meet fellow supporters, and wave signs. They were told they wouldn't be able to vote, and they came anyway. Sounds like sour grapes from the Romney supporter. It's especially ironic since in Iowa Romney spent a ton of money buying tickets and paying for buses to get people to the straw poll. Meanwhile for the NH straw polls, we all just show up and pay our own way in. What's astonishing to me is the low turnout for other Republicans - no one had more than 20 supporters there.

I am glad to see the GOP sticking together.
Did Mr I make any attempts to talk to any of the Ron Paul supporters? Maybe he could recruit some people to be GOP activists with him.
The GOP (esp the NHGOP) is missing a huge opportunity here.
The 16th Amendment doesn't have to be repealed. It was never ratified. The issue of the ratification of the 16th Amendment is currently the subject of a law suit, brought the the federal government, in a Chicago District Court. United States v. Benson, Case No. 1:04-cv-07403 (N.D.Ill. 2004). The details of the case, as well as the actual pleadings establishing less than thirty-six states voted to ratify the 16th Amendment, is on my web site: http://jeffdickstein.com.
