It was her party. She owns the organization which is not affiliated with the GOP. It was classless, and fraudalent, and inconsiderate, but it's her thing.
No state action is warrented.
And caught on video...truth is the ultimate punishment for deceivers.
You are right Phil...why bring in the government? They can't shoot
straight and someone could get hurt. And the whole event went clearly in
favor of Ron Paul?

Certainly in a practical sense Gail Neira's action has been its own punishment, but she nevertheless violated an implied contract. People paid money in the expectation of being able to vote in the straw poll which was promised and then deliberately not delivered. Those who want their money back should get a refund, and if one is not forthcoming, I think there are fair grounds for legal action.

Thank you, Phil. I agree with you. As an aside, I personally believe
such melee hurts the libertarian cause.
