(Worded to submit in South Carolina)
WHEREAS it is in the interest of the South Carolina Republican Party to encourage the maximum
participation in our first in the South presidential preference primary; and
WHEREAS the composition of South Carolina's delegation to the 2012 national nominating
convention should accurately reflect the wishes of the voters of this state as expressed in the
primary election, and
WHEREAS fairness and common sense dictate that delegates should be selected who will be
faithful to a specific candidate at least on the first ballot at the national convention, now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED; that the Spartanburg Republican Party, in convention assembled,
hereby calls upon the South Carolina Republican Party to amend the rules governing
the allocation of national convention delegates to require:
A. Delegates to the 2012 National Convention will be allocated among each of the candidates
for President of the United States whose name appears on the primary ballot in proportion to
the percentage of the popular vote received by that candidate.
B. Each delegate will be required to be pledged to a specific candidate for President and must
cast his vote for that candidate on the first ballot at the national convention.
C. We call upon the South Carolina General Assembly to make any necessary changes in the
state election laws to accommodate this process.
