Segment of video from Minnesota's Republican Senate District 49 BPOU Convention on Mar 24, 2012.

This video shows the Republican Party establishment trying to close floor nominations in order to prevent Ron Paul supporters (and supporters of other candidates) from running for delegate to Congressional District and State Conventions.

The ruling to close nominations was out of order per 'Roberts Rules of Order' since dozens of delegates were in the process of attempting to nominate themselves. The establishment lost this battle due to the quick knowledge, action, preparation, and willingness to fight by local Ron Paul supporters even though the establishment tried their hardest to ignore and evade fair and open proceedings.
