Ron Paul being excluded again!!

[Nairb]

For those that care and are on the Ron Paul bandwagon he needs your help. This is an e-mail I recieved from Dr. Pauls campaign manager describing how Dr Paul is being excluded from an Iowa Republican event. It includes contact information for those responsible. If you do not care then disregard my post but for those that believe in Dr.Paul and his ideals now is another time to respond. The e-mail is as follows:


June 19, 2007


Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance will host a presidential candidates forum on Saturday, June 30th in Des Moines. Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo will participate.

Ron Paul, however, will not participate. Why? Because he wasn’t invited.

We heard about this forum from numerous supporters in Iowa who asked why Dr. Paul was not going to participate. Those supporters assumed that Dr. Paul was invited.

The campaign office had not received an invitation so we called this morning; thinking we might have misplaced the invitation or simply overlooked it. Lew Moore, our campaign manager, called Mr. Edward Failor, an officer of Iowans for Tax Relief, to ask about it. To our shock, Mr. Failor told us Dr. Paul was not invited; he was not going to be invited; and he would not be allowed to participate. And when asked why, Mr. Failor refused to explain. The call ended.

Lew then called Mr. Steve Sheffler, president of the Iowa Christian Alliance, to talk with him. Mr. Sheffler did not answer so Lew left a message. He has yet to respond.

Why are the Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance excluding the one Republican candidate who scored at the top of every online poll taken after the MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN debates? Why are they denying Iowans the opportunity to hear from the Republican presidential candidate whose popularity is growing by the day?

We couldn’t get answers to these questions from Messrs. Failor and Sheffler. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Their contact information is below.

It's ironic that on the same day we learned the Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance excluded Dr. Paul from their candidates forum, we received a call from ABC News confirming Dr. Paul’s participation in its nationally broadcast August 5th debate to be held in Des Moines.

politard forum not leg forum stuff

[Nairb]

Mods if this should be somewhere else please move it there but I have seen several threads about this exact sort of thing in this forum, some several pages long. Ron Paul would be great for Poker Legislation and that is why I posted it here. It seems like Leg. forum people actually care and take action.

[BluffTHIS!]

the politard forum is where there is the greatest concentration of those posters caring about Ron Paul

this is pure politics not legislation

You guys are getting all frothy at the mouth over Ron Paul and he's not even anything pro poker past that he's a "former" libertarian. Let it go.

He's not even anything pro poker, except that he's pro poker.

You slow or something?

edit: Obviously this post doesn't belong here.

He was the only candidate to actually attend the hearing on internet gambling. He also spoke and and confirmed his support for the Barney Frank legislation.

Your comment is asinine.

Cross post this to the Political Forum.

And guys, we need all the help we can get. If we help out Ron Paul, someday Ron Paul may be able to help us.

Keep the post here.

Well Ron Paul is NOT pro-poker or pro-gambling at all. He's stated he thinks gambling is stupid, but he thinks that the government telling people they can't do something like gamble is worse than gambling itself, so while he's not pro-poker, he's pro-freedom and very much on our side.

We're trillions of dollars in debt and lagging behind growing nations. Ten years from now China and India will be the most powerful country in the world. In fact, we would get our asses handed to us if we ever went to war with China (never would happen though).

Ron Paul would get this country's economy back on track and in the black.
