"Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa"

I was thinking the same thing.

ARAVOTH...we could be onto something here.
There's NO cost to sign up, and sooner or later they'd have to turn people away.
IE>..the place would end up being practically empty.
 
OK.

Just found a way to easily get through to the ITF people. Stay on the line for 3-5 minutes. DON'T argue with the first person who picks up the phone - SHE'S JUST THE OPERATOR. When she asks, "How can I direct your call?", say this:

"I heard that your organization is putting on an event on June 30th, and I was wondering how I could attend."

She'll forward you directly in!!!

Then, when the next person picks up, start cordially asking about the event, saying you want to go. She'll tell you it's by invitation only. Once that's done, then lead in with which candidates are invited. She'll say only some of them, and then you need to ask about Ron. When she says "No, he is not invited," go on about Ron's record in a positive way!! All she can do is listen at that point. Then URGE, URGE, URGE her to have her leaders invite him!!

CALL, CALL, CALL!!!

WELL, I SIGNED UP. NO CONFIRMATION OR ANYTHING REQUIRED.
IT'S FEASIBLE.

What number is that?
 
Thanks, Scrib! E-mails sent. I talked to "secretary-I-don't-know" and left a message.

I have my sec looking for a flight. Looks like I'll hafta fly to O Hare and drive from there. So be it. I'm gonna be there in person to voice my protest and demonstrate.

I'm just beside myself. This country has devolved into a pit of vipers protecting their game of ill-gotten gain. The trouble is, the gain belongs to US...not them:mad: :mad:

Make sure you make a reservation.

I'll be there as well, going to make a road trip from Texas. I got room for one more.

What if they DO let Ron Paul in though? (That is our goal, right?) Can you guys drop your seats to make room for people who do need to hear him speak?
 
Scribbler is right. If you are going to be there make a reservation.

Don't stoop down to their level and make unattended reservations. They will change their minds and if they don't then their organization will no longer have any integrity.

The ITF chick told me that you can't make reservations. It's by invitation only??!?!?
Is this right, or was she on to my cunning ways???

I may actually have to connect in Dallas. Will let you know. I appreciate the heads up.

I guarantee I'll be there, one way or another.

The ITFs 877 number:

877-913-3600

You'll get transfered a bunch of times, lot of ringing then transferring, but once you're in (3-5 minutes), tell the first girl you're just interested in going to the event and you'll be in the area. She'll send you onward....right into a listening ear...
 
I emailed David Yepsen, political reporter for the Des Moines Register asking if he knew why Ron Paul was being excluded from the forum and he replied almost immediatelyas follows:
I don't know. Perhaps it's because Paul isn't making a serious effort in
the state and no one figures he's got a chance at the nomination. But
that's just a guess on my part. You'd have to ask the sponsors why
 
Thomas Woods Reports

Well, well, well. It turns out that Edward Failor, executive VP of Iowans for "Tax Relief" and who refuses to allow Ron Paul to take part in his candidates' forum, is a fan of...GEORGE PATAKI! Does it get more hilarious than this?

I like this part, from the New York Sun: "Mr. Pataki could be a hard sell to small-government conservatives, given that state spending in New York has grown to a projected $75 billion in the coming fiscal year from $43 billion in 1995. Mr. Failor said the increases were the necessary result of growth brought on by aggressive tax cuts." Oh.
