Gentlemen and Ladies,
This evening I read the following story on Ron Paul that one of your AP staff
writers Amy Lorentzen put together on the Rally being put on by the Ron Paul
Campaign in Des Monies near where another debate that Ron Paul wasnt invited
to is also going on. I find it UPSETING, REVOLTING and just plain SICKENING
that your supposed NEWS WIRE puts such a derogatory slant on such an
important piece of news. Here is the AP article as posted by your news
channel and also carried by WSPA channel 7 and on the Boston Herald with a
nasty little headline: The first line that Amy Lorentzen of the AP writes:
'Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will add party crashing to his
campaign tactics this weekend.'
I have been following the story in Iowa since the news broke on
www.freedomsphoenix.com on June 20th 2007. Your supposed News Wire has not
published any story whatsoever regarding Ron Pauls exclusion from this
PRESIDENTIAL candidates debate. What makes this story even more significant
is that groups sponsoring the debate are: Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa
Christian Alliance. Now if your organization and staff writer Lorentzen did
any research at all, you would find that Ron Paul is unanimously considered the
taxpayers best friend and Ron Paul is a Pro life Republican Candidate.
I find it remarkable that not only your news company but no other news
company except The Des Monies Register mentioned anything about Ron Pauls
exclusion from this debate. I am sure the reason the Des Monies Register ran
the story at all is because a Iowa talk show host Jan Michelson of WHO radio
did a interviewed the Ron Paul Campaign manager Kent Snyder and the now
infamous Ed Failor of Iowans for Tax Relief. Jan asked Mr. Failor why he
couldnt just invite Ron Paul. Mr. Failor said that they couldnt change the
format to their debate. Anyone who heard the interview would agree with Jan
and Kent that Eds excuse was weak. I would say his excuse was LAME but
then again Mr. Failor is a consultant on John McCains campaign, and there
couldnt possibly be a conflict of interest there.
In the Radio Interview Mr. Failor mentioned that "Paul didn't meet the
criteria the groups drew up last winter," which Ed Failor Jr., executive vice
president of Iowans for Tax Relief said "included having an established
exploratory committee and garnering at least 1 percent in a national poll." The
groups sent out invitations in March to all "credible" candidates of both
parties; all the Democrats declined to attend.
Yet Tom Tancredo was invited to the debate and he had not announced his
presidential exploratory committee till 4/2/07!
On June 23rd 2007 the Ron Paul Campaign made a press release indicating
that Ron Paul was going to Des Monies even if he is not invited and put on a
Rally NEAR where the supposed debate is going on at. Gentlemen this is a
perfectly good way to expose Iowans who are going to the debate to get a chance
to listen to a 10 term republican congressman and legitimate presidential
candidate on issues that matter to them. Reducing Taxes by reducing spending,
getting out of Iraq immediately, securing the borders of the united States of
America, bringing all our troops home from the 135 countries they now occupy,
enforcing the CONSTITUTION and Proper Role of government. The proper role of
government is NOT spying on Americans!
Further 6/27/07 Tom Tancredo (another presidential Candidate in case you
didnt know) issued a had a press release saying
While I dont see eye-to-eye with Rep. Paul on all issues, he is a respected
Congressman, a former presidential candidate, and a man with strong convictions
and the courage to express them, Tancredo said, The Republican party is
better because he is one of us and he has earned the right to be in all
presidential forums and debates. Tancredo concluded, I hope the organizers of
this forum will reconsider and extend him an invitation.
This is a great story however because of your ineptitude and biasedness you
had turned it into a worthless piece of GARBAGE. In conclusion I find it
remarkable people still buy your TRASH that your company churns out your story
is UNTIMELY, SLANTED, WEAK and INCOMPLETE. I also am shocked that WSPA is so
worthless they just regurgitate your excrement!
