The new ruleg provide for the selection of district delegates on the basis of Republican votes cast in the last presidential election, one delegate for each congressional district easting 1000 Republican votes and another delegate for the district if 10,000 votes were cast.

After that day if you are involved in an auto accident in which another person is killed or injured or his property damaged to the extent of $25 or more, you will be required to deposit cash or security up to $11,000 or an insurance policy covering you against such legal liability—or lose your driver’s license.
