"Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa"

[LibertyEagle]

You know, I think it is so rude to just be calling and e-mailing anybody you can find associated with these groups. Honestly, "The Webmaster". "The State Finance Chairman"?

Stick to the principles and stay polite.

Have good will towards man.

I agree. Let's not turn this into a lynch mob, folks. Let's stay focused on the people at fault and also try to get media coverage.

Bombarding those responsible with courteous requests is going to get us a lot further than venomous messages. It will also not impact Ron negatively.

 

[GoRonPaul]

He's obviously being excluded because of his anti-Iraq War, non-interventionist stance... That's a news story for sure... The good doctor's not willing to go along with this loony necon "Christian" bloodlust.

FairTax.org MySpace Page & Other Contact Info

I saw all the contact info in previous threads, but didn't see anyone address the Fairtax.org MySpace Page:

http://www.myspace.com/fairtax

You have to be their friend first. If anyone is friends with them, let 'em have it for us. I just requested to become a friend, but it might take a bit.

Also, names, emails and phone numbers for the co-sponsors have been posted in a variety of comments here:

http://dailypaul.com/node/380#comment-1557

Someone above mentioned that we shouldn't be calling people like "Light Expressions by Shaw" but I disagree. They are listed as a co-sponsor. This likely means they just donated some money to get their name on the brochure and have some advertising at the event. However, with this support comes responsibility.

But as I said in my post, be nice and polite. The person who answers the phone at Light Expressions is likely going to be a store manager or a clerk and won't know what the hell you're talking about (though they will learn quickly enough). Explain politely. Tell them you'd like to voice your opinion to the manager or the CEO. Can you get his number? (If you do - come back here and post it!!!). The point is to put PRESSURE on them to make them change.

America has long enough been dominated by money. As I say at the Daily Paul - we have something THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY!

I think he is being excluded because his actions and proposed policies demonstrate true Christian belief, which is in exact opposition to the phony, highjacked Christian power structure in place today.

Ron Paul's answer to the "most pressing moral issue" question of the last debate is pretty much what Jesus taught, and what Jesus would say today, and that's the last thing the "christian" alliance would want to hear.

Fair Tax is Radio Talk Show neo-con Neal Boortz's pet project to distract the people

I've called in the past and he said I could call anytime and talk about Ron Paul. Since Boortz wrote the Fair Tax book and is the leading advocate for it, I'm sure he knows what's going on with this situation. If not, then he will.

It seems that both of these people are into politics up in Iowa and know each other. They have been in Politics for many years and have had relationships with the Major partiy for many years. Failor especially with Bush and Sheffler with Buchannan and Robertson so of course they are gonna pin their hopes on the annointed top tier.

Power comes from doing these things.

Good call. As a Christian, I think so called Christians today are gripped by fear from what they hear from their leaders not realizing the biggest enemy to liberty has always been the government. I think that these so called Christians are going to be the key to his nomination.

Here we go. I can see college papers digging into this. Let's focus on the college papers. We'll pick up some energetic Iowa supporters/straw poll voters at the same time.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I dropped in on the Iowans for Tax relief office after work today.

They are rattled. {snip}

Keep up the calls and emails. I thought given I'm only 20 minutes away from their office a personel visit would have far more impact and I think it did.

In parting I questioned the real motives behind their group and suggested they read the Fountainhead some time. I told them they were acting just like the Council of American Builders.

Awesome. Just awesome. Tell us more about how they were rattled. Were their fingernails bitten down? Were they all huddled together wondering what to do? Was the phone still ringing while you were there? Were they sweaty and disheveled?

Did you really leave Slim Jims, as in the salty meat product, on their windshields?

rapture wackos - a serious threat to our survival

...
What a bunch of hypocrites.

It's the Christian way! Praise jesus! ( pay no attention to the part where he says "all plants are good".... God must have "made a mistake" when he created Hemp, right?... oh and ignore the part where he warns us to "beware the moneychangers"... never mind the part about "mammon" - it's OK if your giant SUV is the antithesis to your saviour's teachings... Oh and don't worry about destroying the indescribably beautiful world he gave to you - why worry if you are one of the specially chosen "rapture" people who will be saved as everyone else suffers and dies! ISN'T CHRISTIANITY GREAT!!! Screw everybody else! Right? That's what Jesus believed, right?

 

[gravesdav]

It isn't the Christian way. These are just a few hypocrites. As a Christian Ron Paul is a great representative of Christianity, the best in politics. Shows what these guys are about.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

You know, they say we're only the internet. But they fail to mention the internet is the most powerful tool of information beyond anything else in technology or time. We are all proving so.

In one of my many emails to every address I gleaned for them, I closed with, "Every time someone -- in the media or in a group such as this -- treads on Ron Paul, his support grows stronger and more coordinated. I suppose we should thank you."

And it's true. We're growing stronger, more resourceful, more dedicated with each of these challenges. Man-oh-man, this is the kind of thing an organization (if you can call RP supporters "organized" LOL) like this thrives on, lives for. I feel a Howard Dean-esque roar coming on!

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I like what I found. Shows he is a big Bushie:

DALLAS - (KRT) - Ed Failor, the Republican ground operative who is trying to help win Iowa for President Bush, was more focused on keeping up with early mail

[snip]
...
Failor, the executive director of the Republican Victory `04 campaign in Iowa, [snip]

He may be an old pro, but he's never encountered anything like Ron Paul supporters before!

 

[Elwar]

From looking at one of their sponsors "Americans for Fair Taxation" they have a congressional score card. The scorecard shows that Ron Paul does not support the "Fair Tax". I've seen Ron Paul mention it, I believe he said it would be better than what we have now but that it's revenue neutral which means that the government would still be as huge as it is. And of course, his stance is that the most fair tax would be the no tax.

So combine that with the fact that he's not a neo-con and you have your reason.

 

[lucky]

Lol

He may be an old pro, but he's never encountered anything like Ron Paul supporters before!

I agree. He and the others are gonna hate that they pulled this action.

Love that you went to see them. Shows them that there are real people behind just the emails and phone calls.

I am really gonna love it when the media starts calling and asking for comments.

Life is good.

 

[ecliptic]

Ron Paul IS a good Christian

It isn't the Christian way. These are just a few hypocrites. As a Christian Ron Paul is a great representative of Christianity, the best in politics. Shows what these guys are about.

YES! I did not mean that ALL Christians are hypocrites... there are plenty of good examples of what it means to be a "God-fearing Christian" right here in the ranks of the Ron Paul faithful. Ron Paul supporters are GOOD PEOPLE! There is HOPE ! ! ! ! !

Have FAITH!!!!!

We shall overcome

LOL. We may officially be on a terrorist list now. Headlines tomarrow:

The Al Pauletta's target cooridinator's for the GOP Iowa Debate. Terrified personnel rescued after taking refuge from the assault in locked restrooms.

Say hello to the no fly list.

He has said he would rather NO TAX, but he said he would vote for the Fair Tax as he votes for legislation that reduces govt and taxes.

 

[jj111]

I gonna call the IRS and the Federal Reserve may be they can help out.

I wouldn't put too much money on them helping you out on this one.
