Confirming Call to Action: This is Not a Drill

I have written Faux news, for what ever good it will do.
I don't know what the "right" response is to this exclusion, but I would love to be outside the Faux headquarters with my Ron Paul signs while the "debate" goes on.

My sign at the march on NYE will include a boycott FN msg.

I have not watched their smarmy channel in months.
 
If you don't like Faux news or watch it, why would you want RP on it?

The weekend of January 5th-6th, 2008 is when all this will be happening with the ABC Republican debate on Saturday, January 5th, and then the Fox News forum on January 6th. Very little time indeed to mount a large scale demonstration, but not impossible. I am willing to leave Friday, January 4th from Chicago and drive up to New Hampshire for the weekend to show solidarity and to do my part for a vocal but peaceful demonstration against Fox News and its decision to exclude Ron Paul from its forum.

I know Fox News is watching these forum threads to see if we really are dedicated to vocalizing our disgust, and I am also sure they will not bend unless resolve is shown by this movement to make the leap from our chairs to the streets of New Hampshire. Sacrifices will have to be made, and taking time off work for me is a huge sacrafice, but I rather my bills be paid late, then our elections be made a mockery of by the Fox News Network.

Let us now today try to gage how many of our supporters across this great country would be willing to somehow trek across America to get to New Hampshire for the weekend I mentioned above. I am ready and able to go. Speaking symbolically, Fox News is close enough and we see the whites of their hedious eyes, and now we must launch our salvo of voices, loud and clear. If Ron Paul must lose this race, let it not be lost due to media thuggery. We must defend the Republic and allow Ron Paul to be heard. All we are asking for is a fair and balanced portrayal of another point of view not offered by any other Republican candidate.

A peaceful , but loud outpouring of supporters is needed to show defiance to this hijacking of our election process. It is really our only option, forced upon us by an ignorant and pompous beast, attempting to illegally censor the message that millions of Americans are yearning for.

I raise my hand today high, and I stand tall, my head aimed straight ahead, my eyes firmly gazed on the task at hand. If I won't do it, who will ? If I let them celebrate this shamful act, then how much better am I ? I guess I am one person who feels it is morally inexcuseable to allow Fox News to willfully influence the democractic process that so many have died for in defending. The Battle for New Hampsire must begin today.

Nail meet HAMMER.


I'm there too buddy....follow the footsteps of our original "son's of liberty"....we will rock the ELITES of this nation to the core and bring them down. WE THE PEOPLE have once conquered the superpower of the world and we can do it again...we only await the SPARK to start the FIRE.
 
One other thing I will be doing (didnt see anyone say it here, but I could have missed it with all the posts) is looking through my mutual funds in all of my accounts and writing to the fund managers, customer service, and senior management for any funds/companies that hold NWS (News Corp).

Im thinking a polite letter letting them know that I've been a customer for 10+ years, and that I understand they have certain financial responsibilities to maximize profit for fund owners. Then go on to explain that my own moral convictions wont allow me to hold a fund with this stock for a company attempting to manipulate our election, and also let them know that from a financial perspective Fox could suffer due the Ron Paul supporters protesting their advertisers.

It is a long shot, but if we could honestly influence one fund manager somewhere to consider eliminating NWS from their portfolio, that would send a real message.
 
Spreading the Word to FOX News Competitors

I've sent this to my local ABC news station in the hope that, as a competitor to FOX news, they will help expose this injustice:

Not sure if you’ve seen this, but here is an interesting press release that just hit the wire:

December 28, 2007 10:39 pm EST
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.
“Given Ron Paul’s support in New Hampshire and his recent historic fundraising success, it is outrageous that Dr. Paul would be excluded,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Dr. Paul has consistently polled higher in New Hampshire than some of the other candidates who have been invited.”
Snyder continued, “Paul supporters should know that we are continuing to make inquiries with Fox News as to why they have apparently excluded Dr. Paul from this event.”

As a registered voter in the state of Washington, I find it outrageous that FOX news would attempt to influence the outcome of an election in this manner. With the upcoming NH primary and the fact that Congressman Paul is polling higher in NH than some of the candidates who have been invited to this forum and the fact that he not only beat the all-time one-day fundraising record for any candidate, not to mention that his fundraising totals for the 4th quarter of 2007 have exceeded all other Republican candidates, there is no other reason for FOX news to exclude him from this forum other than the fact that they are trying to influence the outcome of this election.

I have been a loyal supporter of KOMO 4 news for over a decade. Please help expose this injustice on the air so that we the people can make a fully informed decision about the candidates running in the upcoming Presidential election.​
 
Ron Paul or Revolution?

America has been taken over by the elite. They have the money, they have the power. They control the media, and what people see as news. The media is now working to even control our election.They have picked who they show on the nightly news, who gets coverage throughout the day on cable, and now some are working to control who the people see debate only days from the most important primary.

Ron Paul is and will always be a true American, He is a patriot as our founding fathers. He understands what America was made to be. He knows that the Constitution is the answer to our problems. He is aware of the history that has formed us as a nation. He is the leader that many have chosen to restore the republic. He is the crucibal that has brought forth thousands who have been sitting back watching our country slip away. Through his campaign we have seen the power that 'We The People' truly have.

We have now come to a crossroads though. We are working hard to elect Ron Paul to help repair our once great nation. The time has come though where we must choose carefully how we fight this revolution. We do not want to smear a good mans name and honor, but can we risk doing nothing and failing our country?

Ask yourself this question... "Why am I a part of this revolution? is it to elect Ron Paul or is it to save America?" We want to achieve both but there are times that one will not play well with the other. I personally believe that now is one of those times.
 
Posted this in an earlier thread -

There seems to be some confusion here. The Fox news event on Jan 6 is a FORUM NOT A DEBATE. AFAIK there will be no audience. It's just the candidates sitting at a table with Chris Wallace asking questions ala Charlie Rose style.

The real Jan 5 ABC news DEBATE is the day before and AFAIK Dr. Paul is included.

Both are being held at St. Anselm College.

The Fox news decision is bad, but Dr. Paul is still going to be on the main NH debate. So don't get too discouraged. Maybe ABC will mention the exclusion during the real debate.

Just FYI.
 
Rp Supporters Get Motivated !!!!!!

As others have said on this thread, first write a civil, yet firm e-mail to FOX News, their affiliates and their advertisers protesting FOX'S unfair decision to exclude Dr. Paul from the January 6th televisied debate.

Second, help in any way possible in the next five days to get out all of the Ron Paul caucus voters in Iowa to their caucus sites. Look at the Iowa Campaign threads for ideas how to help.

Finally, this OUTRAGE should motivate everyone on this Forum to immediately sign up for the New Year's Eve Money Bomb at http://www.donate2008.org.

As the Grassroots Campaign, perhaps the first and most immediate thing we can do to slap FOX News and show that Ron Paul is a crediable candidate, is to put the Official 4th Qtr. Campaign Total over the $20 Million Mark by midnight on the 31st of December.

Please donate, give till it hurts!! Let's make FOX News look like the old Media they really are!!!

Go Ron Paul!!!!!!!
 
We should dump on them and possibly boycott, but don't be surprised if Fox capitulates, includes Paul, and then asks him about the Civil War for 15 minutes.

My opinion is that they screwed themselves by only allowing 5 candidates in the forum, and they made this decision way back when Paul was in 6th place. They didn't count on Thompson divebombing in the polls and support (see the lonely Thompson tables at all the straw polls) and Paul passing him. Hence, more Thompson interviews on Fox to try to prop him up before this forum and justify his presence.

Regardless, we will come out ahead, whether it be an independent interview, rally, or God forbid a win in NH and IA.

If the Civil War or other nonsense matters come up, Paul needs to immediately take hold of the conversation and throw it back at them. "I don't want to discuss that right now. I want to talk about the current problems facing America, and why limited government can bring about lasting peace and prosperity." They are not only trying to waste his valuable air time, they're trying to make him appear less presidential. My fear is that they are succeeding on both counts.

IMO all he needs to do is refuse to get drawn into these arguments; most of the audience will respect him for it. Regardless, it is completely outrageous that he has been excluded from this forum and I very much hope he participates. I will be outside supporting RP either way.
 
Does anyone know who the right contacts at ABC would be to get them to pick this up? Get it out as a question to all the Candidates of 'Should the news corporations be allowed to decide who is and who is not a front runner? Should they be the ones who decide who gets time on the various stages?'

Explain to them that, the avid Ron Paul supporters are just as eager to find that fair network to watch and give their business to as they are to attack and shut down the ones who act in such a manner. I think as well as the ATTACK on Fox, we need the push for someone reasonable to pick up and carry forward as our beacon of fairness, as it were. Perhaps CNN?
 
I don't think ABC is our friend. Don't they have George Snuffleufagus as the new nightly news anchor? Isn't he the one who told Dr. Paul he would never win? I get confused by these characters. Is this right? Could someone correct me if I'm wrong?
