Dr. Paul excluded from economic challenge ** Email Now **

Original thread: CNN Economic Plan Challenge for Presidential Candidates (Andy Serwer) from "News About The Official Campaign"



Andy Serwer challenges the candidates to a detailed economic plan discussion and LEAVES OUT Dr. Paul.

Video: http://money.cnn.com/video/ft/#/video/fortune/2008/01/31/streetlife.candidates.fortune




Email's needed. Please ask politely for an invitation to Dr. Paul. Below is the message I sent:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I watched Andy Serwer's video "Candidates: Get a Plan" and noticed it did not include an invitation to Dr. Ron Paul. I believe he has an outstanding economic plan, which is available on his website: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/press-releases/163/ron-paul-unveils-a-real-economic-stimulus-plan

I appreciate your looking at Dr. Paul's plan and giving consideration to extending an invitation for him to take part in the challenge. Because of the busy schedules of the candidates, perhaps you could invite one of Dr. Paul's economic advisor's instead, Peter Schiff or Don Luskin, to comment on the stimulus plan.

Kindest regards,

Please send your email's to: [email protected]
Fortune customer service #: 1-800-621-8000 (they'll just refer you to the email above, but feel free to call)

Remember to be polite.

Sirs,

Mr. Serwer seems grossly misinformed about several topics, the most immediate being the names of the candidates running for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Either he is misinformed or is deliberately excluding the man most qualified to comment on the economy, Dr. Ron Paul. Perhaps Mr. Serwer is not a fan of the Austrian school, which would be unsurprising for a mainstream pundit, and because of that does not want to hear what Dr. Paul has to say, but here I resort to mere speculation as to his motivations. If in fact he is under the impression that Dr. Paul has dropped out, I would remind him that no indeed, Dr. Paul has not dropped out and in fact has more money available to continue his campaign than any of his Republican rivals with the exception of Mr. Romney who has a vast personal fortune he is willing to squander.

Additionally, Mr. Serwer seems to think we live in a country where the government plans the economy. I would like to take this opportunity to point out to him that the initials of our country are "U. S. A.", not "U. S. S. R." and to remind him that central planning has proven to be a complete failure time and time again, the downfall of which was predicted years in advance by Mises and Hayek among others. The correct response to today's economic crisis is not what the Federal Government should do, but what it should not do. Of the current crop of candidates for the Presidential nominations, only Dr. Paul has a grasp of this basic economic concept. The current "front runner" in the Republican primary, John McCain even admits he knows nothing about economics! I can send you the You Tube video of him saying that should you remain unconvinced of his economic ignorance.

Given Mr. Serwer's apparent lack of ability to grasp basic facts, I find it surprising that a publication with your reputation would allow such shoddy journalism to air under its banner.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Sincerely,

To : Andy Serwer

I applaud your effort to discuss policy and I am excited to see a journalist with the intellect and responsibility to meet these issues head on. You've gained a lot credibility in my eyes and in the minds of many others who appreciate your efforts. I should note, however, that credibility is also very delicate. Won't you protect yours by including Ron Paul as part of your economic plan discussion?

If they invite Ron they are afraid it will make Huckabee look stupid when he amazingly has the exact same plan.

Andy Serwer called for ALL presidential candidates to come forward with plans for the economy. All would mean EACH ONE. Dr. Ron Paul must be included in this. He is the only one who has dedicated decades of his life to studying the economy and defending the free market. Just because he'll embarrass everybody else with his sharp intellect does not mean you should exclude him in any way. Do NOT toy with the First Amendment of the Constitution. Please, do yourself and everyone a favor and INCLUDE RON PAUL.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am extremely disappointed to hear that you have not invited presidential candidate Ron Paul to participate in your economic plan discussion. Were you aware that Dr. Paul is currently the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology? He also has a comprehensive economic revitalization plan on his website here: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/prosperity.

I encourage you to reconsider your decision and extend an invitation to Dr. Paul to participate in this discussion. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
