Confirming Call to Action: This is Not a Drill

[goldielocks]

Fox is playing a game here?

People suspect Fox is playing a game here to make the campaign look bad but so far think the NH GOP is helping us and not hurting us.

This is what I don't get...does Fox really think they are making the Paul Campaign look bad? Could they have so badly misjudged how their actions would be seen? Or is there something else happening that we do not know that could be behind their decision to exclude RP?

PLEEEEEZE Ad to this great letter, at any point.: PLEASE add this letter to your Public file!
Also, it would be very great to say (because these are words from FCC rules) at some point:

"The American people are entitled to hear conflicting views". Since our candidate has many views that conflict with members of the Council on Foreign Affairs, having him on the news is ikmportant to the public good. These are things that can definitely hold up their license renewals. The license renewals come up by state. The FCC must go through the public file.

Look. Fox News is doing a new year's eve live broadcast in NYC. I wonder what it would look like if 2000 ron paul supporters showed up with Ron Paul signs, quietly enjoying the festivities.

Excellent idea! Can somebody get in touch with the NYC-area RP Meetup group and throw this together?

We cannot let Faux News exclude our candidate from the forum on January 6th. The mainstream media and of course Faux has been marginalizing our candidate from the very start. They try to belittle every single accomplishment we make. It's obvious they are trying hi-jack this election because they are TERRIFIED of Ron Paul. Lets show them that they CANNOT escape his message of freedom, small government, and non-interventionism by making sure he is invited to their forum!

It's obvious the other candidates do not want him included. They don't want a true small government candidate arguing against their big government anti-freedom policies! In my opinion, the most satisfying thing I could see is for Ron Paul to be sitting beside them at the "round table" holding them accountable for every statement they make! Can you imagine the shock on the faces when the other candidates realize Fox News was NOT able to exclude Ron Paul!?

This forum would give Ron Paul some great exposure before the majority of the early primaries! Also, I don't think Ron Paul has EVER had the opportunity to participate in a "round table" discussion. We CANNOT let Ron Paul be excluded from this brand new format. For goodness sakes, we have watched as they have "made" or "anointed" other candidates who have barely any grassroots support and have raised much less money. We have already been screwed by the mainstream media. Are we going to let them do so again by allowing them to exclude Ron Paul?

Lets start going ALL OUT to spread the word that we are NOT going to tolerate Faux News excluding Ron Paul! We need to keep the pressure on Faux by *constantly* send out faxes, phone calls, and emails!

There is contact information all over this forum and we need to utilize it. Fox News has pushed us around for too long and it's time to take the gloves off. We have played nice for long enough and now is the time for ACTION!

We cannot wait any longer. The primaries are going to be happening very soon and we need to send the message across the nation that the Ron Paul REVOLUTION is growing, we are unstoppable, and we are not going to let our candidate be pushed around and ignored!

WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

Lets start sending out those faxes, phone calls, and emails!

Also, contacting other news organizations and reporters with this BIG story would be even better than contacting FOX news!!!!!

As retaliation against FOX NEWS, I think we should do the following:

1. Pledge to put a "child lock" block on all of our TV's for all FOX NEWS associated channels and FOX affiliates. This is especially needed for all Nielsen rating people out there.

2. Pledge we will not buy any products from any company who advertises on FOX NEWS satellite, cable, or any local FOX affiliate television stations.

3. Expand the boycott to CBS, because Katie Couric interviewed almost all of the candidates, except Ron Paul.

We cannot continue to support companies like FOX NEWS that try to profit from foreign WARS like IRAQ while our children pay the ultimate price and die while our leaders pass laws like the Patriot Act that takes away our personal freedoms, liberties, and eventually bankrupt our country financially and morally.

Don't get mad, hit them where it hurts - in the pocketbook!!!

Meme warfare

Exluding Ron Paul from the debate is a travesty. It's unjust, unfair, and un-American.

If any of the other candidates had enought honor, integrity, or strength of character, they'd denounce the Fox debate and boycott it. The fact that they'd sell out to this travesty reveals a weakness of character that needs to be pointed out to people.

Please help me spread this notion far and wide: if the other candidates are so great, why are they selling out to this BS? Why would they participate in an unfair debate?

Smartmoney.com lists the relationship between Fox News and Rupert Murdoch as "unknown"

Creepy

Straight a bumpin!

I'm guessing Fox may try to invite Paul after all to cut their losses and avoid a scene. If this happens, I say Ron should politely say, "Upon further review, I don't want to take part in your hijacking of this country."

Then 10,000 of us should surround Fox's little trailer and yell so loud that all they hear is the awakening giant. I'm tempted to fly out from Tucson. Everyone and anyone who can get to New Hampshire Sunday... do it! By any means necessary.

This is our Salt March, our Selma, Alabama, our Boston Tea Party! It's now or never!

Cable Providers, and paying for Fox News

I don't subscribe to cable TV

One of the main reasons is that the "basic" cable comes with CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. I have a real problem with paying money to such so called news networks to spread ideology that I don't agree with. I believe when you purchase a basic package, some small amount is payed for these channels.

When I get a call from someone trying to sell me cable or satellite TV, sure I want basic cable but don't want Fox News. "What package do you have without Fox News?"

None comes the reply, "But you can just not watch it"

But they don't understand, "I don't want to give them any money to spread their biased ideology that they call news."

"Give me a call back when I can pick and choose the channels I wish to pay for."

I know for most people to live without cable TV is unimaginable, but there are many positives. You become more social, more active, get outdoors more, more exercise.... and don't complain nearly as often about nothing to watch on a hundred different channels.

Calling your cable provider to have Fox News removed from your cable subscription might be a good thing. Tell them you are no longer willing to pay for this channel. And if you decide it is worth it, might even consider dropping your cable subscription for a while just to show that you mean what you say. Then they will call you to find out why you dropped their subscription.

I'm still waiting for the day that I can pick and choose the individual channels I want, and not pay for any of the ones I don't want. I don't even want to be included in Fox's number of subscribers, as that helps them with their advertisers.

Just my thoughts on it.

Oh yeah, and mention why your dropping them.

So we can't block certain channels? I thought we could, I wanted to call and cancel FOX after what they have done, but I might just switch to a new cable company that doesn't have any endorsements for FOX.
