ronpaul2008.typepad.com — 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.

I too am mad as hell. However, it is VITAL that we not call anyone's house and harass their families. I understand the anger. I am enraged. But making these calls only hurts the man we support! I am tired of reading articles that say that the ITR chose not to invite Ron because he is not a credible candidate and this is proven by the fact that his nutcase supporters are calling his house and threatening his children. Remember the big picture. We need votes from Iowans. We need to appear as the injured party here. If we act like crazy anarchists his message of liberty and freedom gets lost. Please support Ron Paul. Help his campaign. By all means make phone calls, but be polite. Point out Ed's inconsistencies, he says on the one hand that they are full, on the other he says if Hillary called and wanted to join the forum they would talk to her. Ed says "It is a line we extended a month ago, and the behavior of his supporters should be abhorred."I have to agree. Calling people's homes must be off limit! We can't give him fodder for this kind of argument. The issue is, who are they to determine who is credible? Are they trying to influence a Presidential election by keeping information from Iowans? We need to fight them on that issue. They are trying to keep Christians in the dark and refuse to inform the public. Didn't the Romans do this sort of thing to another man that had a grass roots campaign going?

Please don't call the man's house. It hurts Dr. Paul's credibility. Instead of the story being that the ITR are a bunch of bigots and election fixers, it has become, they are a peaceful freedom loving group who made a little decision and the rabid Ron Paul supporters are attacking his children and breaking the law by attempting to hack into his computer. We need to take the high road.Call his advertisers. Call the NY Times, the Washington Post, the attorney general of Iowa, the IRS to see if they are keeping in line with their articles of incorporation, call the BBB and complain about the group. Call local churches and ask to speak to the pastors. Ask them if they are aware of how poorly Ron Paul is being treated.This needs to be about how badly Ron is being treated, not how badly his supporters are treating others. We have no room for hate.Keep your eye on the big picture, we want votes in Iowa! Always be polite, make your opponent look like the lunatic.

Check out how ITR messed with several primaries in Iowa last year to take out long standing republicans and put in their chosen people. Non partisan????? I do not think so. ITR is about getting their candidates elected not lower taxes.

Edward Failor is a dangerous traitor and guilty of Treason. He needs to be put into a pillory. He pisses me off to no end. RON PAUL!
