About the Author
I am an Army Veteran and a Republican. I’m not into these made up labels; or being sliced & diced so as to be served up on any political party’s smorgasbord menu. Yes, I been abandoned and hood winked by the 2-party system. I would be a registered Independent, but the state of Oklahoma won’t let Independents vote in the primaries.

Hello Arlene,
I just came across your blog post about your disappointment in Santorum and read that you might relinquish your honor of being a GOP delegate. I hope that you will consider carefully how you may be most effective for the candidate you now wish to support.
Although Oklahoma might have bound delegates, you are bound ONLY on the FIRST vote, as I understand it. On all remaining votes you get to vote as though unbound.
Since it is looking very possible that Romney will not win on the first vote, I encourage you to attend the convention to vote as you must that first time. You can be very confident that the Santorum vote you are obliged to carry will not be sufficient for his win. After that first vote count fails to show a winner, you may then vote according to your conscience.
Please do continue to learn more about Congressman Paul. I do believe you can find him worth supporting.
