Note: I literally just finished compiling the list below and emailing/contacting every outlet listed below. And I am now going to work so I won't be able to respond much to the thread. Leading by example...

"GOP candidate predicts crisis. Seeks to prevent it. Yet very few know about his predictions and actions." This should be the central story coming out of the Iowa debate and election.

Below is the general gist of what I've sent ABC and Yahoo. The Des Moines Register should preferably be contacted by a native Iowan please.

I've also sent it to other networks that will be covering this high profile debate. I'd like to tweet this to moderators but it's too long. Maybe someone could set up a simple webpage like we did for the Rand Paul moneybombs? The theme being "Ron Paul predicted it. You Should Cover It!". Maybe even link this thread?

Here is the contact information. I use "Story Idea" more than "comment". And always have my text copied so as to simply paste it.

Short Version

GOP candidate predicts crisis. Seeks to prevent it. Yet very few know about his predictions and actions.

It is only appropriate that the next President show that they have competence over the issue in their public lives.

Please ask the candidates to address the following question: What did you do in your public life to anticipate and prevent the housing meltdown?

Ron Paul Predicted the crisis in tried to do something about it in 2003: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLm7Sw402xE

Long Version

GOP candidate predicts crisis. Seeks to prevent it. Yet very few know about his predictions and actions. This should be the central story coming out of the Iowa debate and election.

In the past few years no one can doubt that the housing crisis is perhaps the biggest economic event in our generation. It is only appropriate that the next President show that they have competence over the issue in their public lives.

Please ask the candidates to address the following question: Since the housing crisis of 2007-2008 is what many believe is the biggest
economic event in our lifetimes. What did you do in your public life to anticipate and prevent the housing meltdown?

Please ask the debate audience to consider the records of each candidate when the candidates give the response:

Representative Ron Paul:

Thanks! Regardless of the political benefits I think it's important people know that it was predicted and that Ron Paul was the only one in government to do so.
