FOX/RPI Debate Update from National HQ

[Don]

Hey Everybody - Here is where we are at. I spoke to the person at FOX who is ultimately responsible for the debates and was told that the decision was solely the Republican Party of Iowa's.

We have had ongoing discussions with RPI and our efforts have been well-received. Both the PD and ED have said that they would like Ron to be included. They are working within the organization to make that happen.

We have NEVER heard that Ron would be excluded from anyone with authority within RPI. These discussions have been ongoing and will continue. We have found the folks at RPI to be friendly and helpful.

While, there have been times that phone and e-mail bombing has been successful in changing the minds of Republican officials, it has NEVER worked with RPI. They were inundated over the candidate's forum and Ron was still excluded. They were inundated regarding voting at the straw poll. Our offer to pay for the recount was still turned down.

We want Ron to participate in this debate as much as you guys do, which is why I am asking that you please hold you fire.

Calling now might likely push them in the wrong direction as well as giving them a stack of emails that they can use to discredit us with party insiders and Republican caucus-goers.

done ..

 

[ronpaulyourmom]

didn't call or email before, and wont now either. I'm confident in our ability to meet their requirements.

I hear you .i havent called:0,but i have dam sure posted my opinions in this forum.

Thats why i continue to say,its very possible for a hannity troll to act like a ron paul supporter.

Has anyone heard a recording of these calls yet??? i have yet to hear one person who has.

Good post and i think we all get it,thats why i wonder if its hannity trolls posing as ron paul supporters??? I think its very possible,as angry as i am about my gop right now,i havent made any calls to the iowa gop.

I've seen at least three people post on these forums that they think it's right to call the Republican Party of Iowa over this. So chances are, at least some of those calls are legitimately from supporters.

Look at the title under the name:
Don
Ron Paul 2008 PCC - Special Assistant


You don't get those just by asking.

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

I've never emailed or called. Flooding with emails rarely works and typically only pisses off the very party that we are trying to win. I wish people would stop the us vs. them attitude towards the GOP. WE NEED THEIR SUPPORT

Let's listen to Ron and follow his lead

Not only does he have an officia title but this got a "sticky"...It's VERY official. They probably wont post it on RP2008 because they shouldnt have to address such ridiculous actions and theres no need to draw attention to negativity

 

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

Focus your wrath on FOX for now. They are gonna pick the lineup, or damn well try to.

Very important message. This needs to be spread far and wide. Please send this to Alex Jones also.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Don, you need to send this out to all the Meetup groups and ALSO Alex Jones. Because last time I heard, these people had NOT gotten the word.

 

[Menthol Patch]

We HAVE to get into this debate!

If we are excluded ONCE we will NEVER get into another debate!

hey I want one of those.

 

[Bryan]

hey I want one of those.

Get a job with the campaign.

 

[jnpg]

This is official communication...

I know Don- he's for real-

Good suggestion for getting it out to meetups and to Alex Jones.

Besides- if he is excluded we will use it to our advantage.

They're playing games, because we had the Communications Director for our Campaign in Iowa speak directly to Mary Triffany at the Iowa GOP and she said that it was FOX News that made these terms.

Ultimately, both their names are on the Press Release so they are BOTH responsible. But I have no doubt in my mind that FOX was the one that initiated this.
