"Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa"

Ed Failor's role in the McCain camp is a FACT:

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Senior Advisor[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Ed Failor, Jr.[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1](announced Jan. 23, 2007) Executive Vice President of Iowans for Tax Relief. Senior political advisor to Gov. George Pataki's 21st Century Freedom PAC (announced June 14, 2006; part of initial leadership team; departure reported Nov. 21, 2006). During the 2004 presidential campaign Failor served as executive director of Iowa Victory 2004, helping Bush to carry the battleground state.[/SIZE][/FONT]


I'm not sure what kind of traction this gives us since McCain isn't even coming to this event but it's interesting nonetheless.
 
Hey,

If this evidence is true, do you think we can get a lawyer on this? Even if we protest, they may hold out since they are technically not government. They are private interest groups.
 
"All credible Democrat and Republican Presidential candidates were invited"
Click to expand...

This "credible" thing really ticks me off. That's the term Failor told Eddlem, indicating that Dr. Paul was not credible.
 
I was unable to find any link or confirmation on the Internet of the three reported corporate sponsors of this event. Someone here had reported that it was
Coldwell Banker, Krishna Engineering Consultants Inc, and Light Expressions by Shaw. Could someone please show us clear evidence or confirmation that these three companies indeed are corporate sponsors of this event?

Now, IF someone here can demonstrate to us that these companies are indeed sponsoring the event, perhaps someone from the sponsoring companies might be able to give us an official statement or unofficial statement as to the reason why Ron Paul has not been invited to the event, or could be asked if they might ask the sponsors to reconsider.

I don't know if anybody here will be able to show us a link demonstrating that these three companies are indeed co-sponsoring the event, but if they do, I have compiled some contact information about the companies. It is as follows:

Notes from Des Moines

I'm John the Organizer of the Des Moines Group and I've got a couple of things to say about the RP exclusion.

1) Please stop emailing me about it. I know.

2) Hand delivered a letter (on page 5 of this thread) to the Christian folks. Office closed (3:30 pm.) but phone was ringing, I wonder why?

3) I have it from a reliable source (trust me) that it's the Christian dude that is blocking RP. He wants to play king maker. (but don't stop with the tax dude.)

4) I plan to go to the Christian office (it's 5 minutes away) with video camera in hand to ask some questions (keep an eye on youtube). (Please sumbit your questions I should ask here.)

5) If you are nearby and plan to come to the event please get your tickets to the event. http://www.taxrelief.org/presidential_forum.htm
Let's show'em the force of our numbers.

6) David Yepson of the DM Register will spin this story against RP. He wrote an article about the Presidential Candidates the other day, no mention of RP but all the others were. [An aside: I was at an Obama event in Indianola, IA about 6 weeks ago passing-out Russo's A:FTF and Yepson walked by. I tried to give him a dvd but he had no time for me (I'm his "buddy" - that's what he called me) as he was walking away I said: "I promise I won't ask you if you're part of Operation Mockingbird." Well, he stuttered stepped - by the look on his face he knew was I was talking about. End of aside.]

7) I wouldn't be surprised when Steve gets to his Christian office the door is covered with RP signs.

8) Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
John of Des Moines
 
people outside the country cannot call 877# toll free, but still a good idea.
I just faxed them a couple of times with a black background. I wanted to make sure they could see the white letters.

Hi all!
this seems to be a replay of saul annuziz - well, sort of - anyway, the point is still the same - dr. paul has every right to be in that debate and it's up to us that he gets in it.
we need to call the contact numbers and - of course - be polite yet firm. i think any other way is detrimental to dr. paul and personally i don't think too well of us if we weren't. we need to follow in his footsteps and - WE NEED TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON THEM!
we don't have alotta time either - the debate date is june 30th!
so get calling, emailing and faxing everybody and contact anyone you can in support of dr. paul!

Well it's not a debate, just a forum for the candidates to talk to some people who come.
 
Response I received from Iowa Christian Alliance. Please give Katie a call. Her voicemail wasn't full when I called.

Our President, Steve Scheffler, is away from his desk for the next several days and will not be able to respond to your email. It is my understanding that these decisions are being made by Iowans for Tax Relief.

I recommend that you contact Katie Koberg with your concerns. She can be reached at 515-875-4936 or [email protected]
 
I read this post on the meetup bulletin board, maybe we can help:

"Plans in Progress to Kick Butt in Iowa




Below is the About Us page from the Iowans site. Obviously they are not really about lowering taxes; none of the candidates they have included possess a track record for lowering taxes. Therefore this constitutes a fraud on the electorate of Iowa. The group has an IRS number and is clearly engaging in a fraud. Therefore they would lose their status as a PAC since provably none of the candidates they present can deliver the benefits they specify in their mission statement. Success in getting big government candidates elected conflicts with the expectations raised by their own words. This is fraud.

Ben Olson in Iowa is willing to file a law suit against Iowans for Tax Relief for fraud. Ben and his wife, Sylvia, live in Pocahantas and are old time Libertarians.

We are planning a news conference in front of their offices, service of the law suit, letters to the papers, state and national, and news releases.

Ben's contact information is:

Ben Olson [email protected]

712-335-4049




NEEDS

Who can write the complaint for Ben? We should send a pre-release copy of the letter to them, giving them a chance to change their minds, say 24 hours.

Who can run the news event in front of the offices? Ben is 250 miles away. He is calling around now to look for someone but if you know anyone get them in touch with him or me.




Thanks, Melinda Pillsbury-Foster "

This is the only response I've received from several emails I've sent. It was from their webmaster. I emailed back inquiring about Steve's cell number. It will be posted here if I get it.
 
call the 877 numbers from a payphone and stay on as long as possible. the fcc has an 80 cent surcharge for every pay phone call placed to an 800 number.

toll free costs them $$$ per minute because they are small and dont have a negotiated rate

if you are from outside of this country you should definately call the 1877 #. its about 30 cents per minute if you call them from your cell.

remember, its a taxpayers union. we're just speaking the only language they understand.
