"Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa"

Liberty said:
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

That's ridiculous.

Everyone should go to Iowa. Everyone. Screw your jobs, this is much bigger.

Right, because Gilmore and Brownback have real chances to win.

I just emailed Iowans For Tax Relief and asked them to change their name in the interest of simple honesty and decency.

You know and I know that this exclusion is about the war. Period. That pretty much demonstrates that these people don't care about tax relief any more - they're just another cheerleader group for the war. That's OK, but they should be honest about it.

I hope everyone realizes that this is pretty much par for the course for the Republican party as a whole right now. Nothing matters any more except being pro-war and pro-torture. Your tax record, your record on regulation, your record on abortion, your record on federalism - none of it matters any more. That's why they hate Paul so much, and that's what we're seeing here today.

I finally got through to Tax Relief after getting numerous busy signals and 10 rings or so. I'm a terrible liar, so I told her exactly why I was calling and she connected me to "Ashley's" voice mail.

Keep calling!!!! At the very least we can make an impression on the receptionist who will have to say something.

Okay..got this shot off and left a message for Mr. Failure, errr, I meant Failor :) .

Dear Mr. Failor,

I am writing to request that your organization issue an invitation to Congressman Ron Paul to the scheduled GOP debate on June 30th, 2007.

Taking into consideration, Mr. Paul has been the most consistent of Presidential hopefuls to have fought for, and succeeded in, lowering taxes and rejecting bills and legislation to the contrary, I would think that your attendees/listeners would be quite interested to hear Mr. Paul's thoughts on the matter.

I think the recent award (posted below) sums up his accomplishments in the very area your organization stands for and I am hoping that this was just an oversight on your part.

Again, I request that you invite Mr. Paul to attend your event. If not, I request a reasonable explanation as to why you would exclude such an accomplished advocate for lowering taxes from the debate.

Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully,

Tracy Key

Paul Honored as "Taxpayers' Friend" for Tenth Consecutive Year

http://www.house.gov/paul/press/press2007/pr022107.htm


February 21, 2007

Washington, DC: Congressman Ron Paul has been recognized as a top advocate for taxpayers in the U.S. Congress for the tenth year in a row, earning the nonpartisan National Taxpayers Union’s annual award as a “Taxpayers’ Friend” for 2006. Only 30 of 435 members in the U.S. House of Representatives earned similar honors last year.

The annual NTU rating is based on critical congressional votes relating to federal tax, spending, and regulatory issues. Paul consistently ranks at or near the top of NTU’s scorecard in terms of his pro-taxpayer votes.

Overall, however, Congress is slipping when it comes to serving the least-represented special interest of all—American taxpayers.

“If every member of Congress voted like Representative Paul, Americans could enjoy much lower taxes and less waste in government,” stated NTU President John Berthoud.

“Overburdened taxpayers in Texas and across the nation owe Mr. Paul a debt of gratitude for his hard work on their behalf.”

“While many Members of Congress talk about reducing the size of government, Representative Paul backed up those words with votes. This award proves that he/she is a consistent and effective ally in our battle to restore fiscal responsibility to Washington.”
 
I called the telephone numbers but got busy or no answer. Then I emailed: • Edward Failor, What can it mean if Iowans for Tax Relief excludes the only Candidate, Ron Paul, in the field consistently ranked by the NTU as the Congressman with best or second best voting record for the Congressional session? Ron Paul is the only candidate calling for an end to the income tax and abolishing the IRS. Are you officers of Iowans for Tax Relief really for tax relief? Excluding a candidate from a debate between the candidates is unAmerican! What gives Edward Failor the right to tell voters who they should consider?
 
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. "Let that be a model for those who don't believe in trickle down economics," he said.

What planet does this Failure guy live on?

Did you try the 800 number?

877-913-3600

Dear Des Moines Register,

As an American Citizen I want you to know about an very blatant example of how the ‘powers that be’ control what we see and hear.
As you are well aware, there is a GOP Straw Poll in Des Moines this summer.
What you are also likely aware of is the GOP Presidential “Forum” being held Saturday, June 30th also in Des Moines.

What you probably don’t know is that one of the most popular “underground” candidates, R – Tex Dr. Ron Paul was NOT even invited to this “Forum”.
Ron Paul’s supporters have been busy today mobilizing to let the Iowans for Taxpayer Relief and the Iowans Christian Alliance know we do NOT approve of this form of censorship.
Why would a group who supports lower taxes and Christianity in Government who has NEVER voted once (in 10 terms of service) to raise taxes and is Pro Life?
Why are Iowans in general not in a complete uproar?!


Last I checked, Iowa was a part of this great nation, and if your constituents are being duped, who’s going to stop those ‘powers that be’ from duping us all?
