What really happened at the Nevada Republican Party convention?

As I blogged about previously, Ron Paul supporters took over the Nevada Republican Party convention, and the state party officials shut the convention down before they elected delegates to the national Republican convention.

The Ron Paul supporters feel that the true story of what happed at the Nevada Republican Party convention hasn't been told by the media, and have put up a website to raise money to run a statement in the Las Vegas Review-Journal: Give Us Back Our Convention! (Thanks to Brien for the link.)

"On April 26th in Reno, the Republican State Convention was abruptly and improperly recessed indefinitely on the orders of Sue Lowden, state party chairperson.

...

"As the election proceeded, it became clear that result desired by the party leadership, which was the election of delegates favorable to John McCain, would fail. The party leadership and the John McCain campaign began searching for a way to stop what to them would be a disaster."

...

"The original word from Sue Lowden was that the convention would reconvene at a later time. At this writing, more than two weeks after the convention, there is no word from the party chairman as to when, if ever, the convention will be reconvened."

You can read Sue Lowden's Letter to Nevada Delegates yourself.  The letter is dated April 26 and as of May 20 it is still the latest news on the Nevada Republican Party's front page.

Why do Libertarian and Socialist (oops, I mean "green") websites always look like they were made in the 90s?
