Ohio GOP Excludes Ron Paul from its List of Presidential Candidates

I sent this letter:

Good Evening, Ohio Republicans:

I am taking the time to email this regarding the exclusion of Ron Paul as a Link for Republican Candidates on the website http://ohiogop.blogs.com. Humbly, I implore you to include this outstanding example of what a Republican Representative should be. Congress is filled to the brim with people who's primary concern is getting re-elected. It is refreshing to the people such as myself, that the concepts envisioned for what this country should be are not completely thrown to the wayside in an attempt to either line their pockets at the taxpayers expense, or to procure the next term of office.

With your inclusion of a candidate (Fred Thompson), who has not even officially declared, I am extremely disappointed in what I can only hope is an oversight on your part.

I thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.


Earnestly Submitted,

Christopher F. Dillard
 
Done.

I am a conservative Ohioan who has never voted in a primary. I plan on voting in the Republican primaries next year only because of Ron Paul and his unwaivering belief in the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution. Your obvious exclusion of him from the list of links to GOP candidate websites is a tactic more suited to the Democrats and the mainstream media. What's more, you are using it against a man who, more so than any other candidate, stands for everything you purport to believe in.

If it weren't for the fact that there seems to be a widespread effort to marginalize Ron Paul one could excuse it as an oversight. The inclusion someone who is not even a candidate makes your bias even more apparent.

If Ron Paul does not get the GOP nomination, you WILL lose the Whitehouse to a Democrat.

A little bit of shame never hurts.
 
Done.

After recently checking out your website, I noticed a glaring omission in your Election 2008 section, specifically regarding links to candidate websites. You have left out the individual with the 3rd most cash on hand of all the Republicans currently declared, and the candidate with by far the most popularity on the internet and the largest grassroots effort of ALL the candidates. That individual is Dr. Ron Paul, unquestionably the most conservative, republican member of the Congress. I find it anathema to the concept of republicanism and basic conservative principles that you would de facto censor Dr. Paul from your website by leaving no reference to his campaign, for reasons I cannot begin to fathom. I would ask that you give every Republican candidate currently declared in the race an equal share and equal treatment on your website. You owe it to the candidates themselves, and you owe it to the citizens of Ohio. Hailing from Toledo, I am absolutely certain that if more Ohioans knew of this censorship blatantly occurring within the Ohio GOP, they would be outraged.

Thank you for your time.

Note: I was born in Toledo, and have lots o' family in that area, hence my final line.
 
Has anyone notified the Ohio Meetup Groups about this?

Hi,

I am a lifelong Ohio Republican and I found your site today. I was checking the links on the left side of the page listing Republican candidates for the 2008 presidential election. You don't have Congressman Ron Paul ( R-Tex) listed.

I would appreciate it if you could add his link as he is a presidential candidate for 2008. The link is:

http://www.ronpaul2008.com

Also, if you need any additional information about Dr. Paul, please email me and I will be happy to direct you to more information.

Thanks,

Maryanne Petranek

Expect Success!

Get all the Ron Paul meetup supporters in Ohio to call them up and ask them about this. Here is their contact info:

I called, I was instantly transeferred to someones voice mail after I said there was a candidate missing on their site.
 
This is not surprising in the least. After all, this is the state in which our former Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell, tried to deny Libertarians access on the ballot. He also refused to disqualify Diebold voting machines even though it was known they had software issues. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he owns Diebold stock. I think it's amazing that Dr. Paul has the strength, courage, patience and persistence to deal with the majority of people at leadership posts within the GOP at federal, state, and local levels. I just let our local meetup group here in Toledo know that he's been excluded in the links. Onward......
 
They need some face to face time at their headquarters with a visit from local RP Meetup supporters.
