All Republican presidential candidates must declare their intentions to seek the office of the presidency before Wednesday, September 15 to be included on the regional primary ballots.

Debates between Republican presidential contenders will be held on Friday, September 10 on the forum.  The debate will last for as long as necessary.  The AFRNC national chairman (me) will be moderating the debates.  More information on the debates will be given in the future.

The following states will have their primaries on September 17, 18, and 19:

Midwest:  11 States
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Michigan
Minnesota
Missouri
Nebraska
North Dakota
Ohio
South Dakota
Wisconsin

Southwest:  8 States
Arizona
Arkansas
Colorado
Kansas
Louisiana
New Mexico
Oklahoma
Texas

West:  10 States
Alaska
California
Hawaii
Idaho
Montana
Nevada

Wyoming

The following states will have their primaries on September 24, 25, and 26:

New England:  11 States
Connecticut
Delaware
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Vermont

South:  10 States & D.C.
Alabama
District of Columbia
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
Mississippi
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Virginia
West Virginia

As stipulated in the AFRNC bylaws, 1000 delegates will be at stake.  500 of the delegates will be superdelegates controlled by the regional chairmen.  The regional chairmen are as follows:  New England - Boss Tweed, South - StatesRights, Midwest - PBrunsel, Southwest - Josh22, West - Mr. Fresh.  Regional chairmen must announce their decision as to the allocation of the superdelegates on the last day of the convention.

The other 500 delegates will be awarded based on regional primaries.  Delegates will be awarded in proportion to the percentage of the vote won by each candidate in each region.  100 delegates will be at stake in each regional primary.

The AFRNC convention will be held from Friday, October 1 to Sunday, October 3.

More information on this will be coming shortly.  If any of you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Convention information:

The first day of the convention (Oct. 1) will be devoted to adopting the platform, a few opening remarks.

The second day of the convention (Oct. 2) will be devoted entirely to speeches by prominent republicans of the forum.

The third and final day of the convention (Oct. 3) will be devoted to the allocation of the delegates by the regional chairmen, the nomination of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates and their acceptance speeches.

The vice-president will be nominated a vote of republicans in attendance at the convention.  All republicans who cast ballots in the regional primaries will be eligible to vote for the vice-presidential nomination.  More on that later.

That was a minor party (the Atlas National Party) convention, and my fault. I would have prefered West Branch, Iowa, bu the ANP would not allow it.

I would be happy any where it was held, even New York City.

The convention host city will be chosen by a vote of the regional chairmen and myself, the national chairman.  Each chairman will list their top five choices for host cities.  The city that receives the most votes will be the host city.

My top five:

Seattle
San Fransisco
Atlanta
Richmond
Philadelphia

Given what happened the last time a real national political convention was held there, I don't think any party would want to hold a convention in Charleston.

LOL! At least Charlottesville isn't in the running...

Not that it counts for anything since I'm not a regional chair (or a member of the Atlas Republican Party for that matter), but I would kindly suggest the following cities: Richmond, Ripon WI, Rugby ND, Salt Lake City, Houston. Ripon is the birthplace of the American Republican party and Rugby (in addition to being in the heart of beautiful North Dakota) is the geographic center of North America.

Once again, I hope no one overlooks the sprawling metropolis of Crosbyton, TX...which has a very centrally located Dairy Queen.

Well, it doesn't look like any more of the regional chairmen are going to vote so I hereby declare voting on the matter of location of the convention closed.  The convention will be held in Atlanta.

Seattle and Richmond, the two runners-up, will host fundraisers for the republican candidates for president and vice-president immediately after the convention.
