"Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa"

[BLS]

I am curious WHY Iowan’s for Tax Relief and why the Iowan Christian Alliance would NOT invite Dr. Ron Paul to the upcoming Presidential GOP Forum on Saturday, June 30th.
Dr. Paul’s impeccable voting record has always strictly been “Lower Taxes” and “Pro Life”.

I think this is ridiculous as well as the fact that you are limiting your constituents exposure to a man who many are believing can right the wrongs of this country.

From the above referenced webpage:

"It’s difficult for us to conceive of such hatred." (referring to 'Jihadists')

This is found on a webpage filled with hate-mongering and fear-mongering.

What a bunch of hypocrites.

Subject: Ron Paul's invitation to the upcoming Presidential Candidates Forum

Dir Sirs,

You really do need to reconsider your invitation for Ron Paul to your event. Excluding him, the most conservative member of Congress and the one that has NEVER voted to raise taxes, is an insult to your organization. He has a great many supports on the Internet that you are choosing to alienate from your organization. Are you really interested in tax relief and Christian values? Well so is he. If he is excluded then I will consider your organizations to be mere fronts for the neo-conservatives that have taken over Washington recently as they are not interested in any form of tax relief and pay no more attention to the values that are important to us then the lip service the Bush administration gives them to get our votes. Your lack of inviting him threatens to tear the GOP apart as some of us will pursue true conservatives even at the expense of the Republican Party. Please reconsider your position or know that you will be loosing many friends and supporters.

Sincerely,
--

this is what I sent

Please, please do not exclude the only candidate that is anti-war. I'm a christian and peace is in the best interest for everybody. Also He is the "Tax payers" friend. you know who I'm talking about.

I'll be calling your office everyday to see if he has been invited.

thank you very much and god bless you. I know that you will make the right decision.

Re: Presidential Candidates Forum

Dear Mr. Sheffler:

Is not very Christian of you to exclude Ron Paul from the upcoming Presidential Candidates Forum that your organization is co-hosting with Iowans for Tax Relief. Perhaps, you should ask yourself: “What would Jesus do?”

Thank you for your thoughtful reflection on this matter.

The other story was buried.

 

[graystar]

Seems like some people are worried about RP taking out Romney in the August Iowa straw poll with the other so called big boys not taking part.

 

[Korey Kaczynski]

i called them.... i'm still on hold after about 5 minutes, hahahahahaha. Totally swamped.

 

[PatriotOne]

The phone lines are busy...hopefully with Ron Paul supporter's. I did manage to finally get through to Mr. Failor's answering machine after about 10 tries and requested an official statement from him as to why Ron Paul was not invited to the debates.

Keep up the good work all week until they invite him or give us a reason as to why they excluded him.

Circle the wagons people . This is what we are here for.

Man, I am telling you there are ALOT of people doing everything they can to stop our guy.

Are we doing enough to combat it? I know I'm not. This is just ridiculous.
We would need to triple our efforts.

Sounds like a perfect time to call!

 

[DjLoTi]

I've been calling for the past 2 minutes and it's been busy. Keep it up people.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Yes, we absolutely need to conduct ourselves in the same manner Dr. Paul would. It will do us no good if we're rude or discourteous.

That said, I just talked to Failor's secretary. She would give me absolutely NO information whatsoever. ie. after I went through Dr. Paul's record of never voting to increase taxes and his 100% rating from the National Taxpayers' Union... I asked her if she had any idea why he wasn't invited. She was pretty curt.... "NO". That was pretty much it. I said thank you and there was a very quick.. CLICK.

 

[mtbaird5687]

I can't call because I'm at work but yall are doing a great job. Keep it up!

 

[Bryan]

I called the tax group- was on hold for 15 minutes before the operator answered who transferred me to an Ashley before I finished 1/3 of my opening sentence. The transfer sent me straight to Ashley's voice mail where I asked the "why not invited" question. I left my #.

 

[DjLoTi]

I think if you've been on hold for more then 2 minutes you should hang up and start calling back. They might be clogging the phone lines to prevent new calls from coming in

*edit* ok since some of yall are getting through.. maybe not such a great idea. I'm gonna keep trying
