Just released from the Ron Paul campaign office:
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will celebrate life and liberty at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday, June 30th.
Dr. Paul will share his message of freedom, peace and prosperity at the Hy-Vee Hall, Room C, Iowa Events Center, 730 Third Street, Des Moines, Iowa. The rally will start immediately following the conclusion of the Presidential Candidates Forum sponsored by Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance at approximately 4:30 p.m.
The public is invited. Food and beverage will be provided to the first 500 people who arrive.
Just incase you do not know, the Hy-Vee Hall is where Iowans for Tax Relief are holding their presidential forum.
This rally needs to be HUGE. Everyone in the tri-state region needs to be there to support Ron Paul. Let's show Ed Failor that Dr. No won't take no for an answer.

Meatheads for Tax Relief
From Roth & Company, P.C.
Meatheads for Tax Relief
The group "Iowans for Tax Relief" has a name that belies its purpose. It supports special interest carve-outs and corporate welfare tax subsidies that shrink the tax base and raise the rates on the rest of us. It also refuses to even consider eliminating the deduction for state income taxes in exchange for lower rates.
I came across this article complaining about Iowans for Tax Relief and could have sworn it was written recently because it's quite relevant to this whole fiasco with Ed Failor. This was written on March 1 2006!
Wow so it appears this organization already has a reputation in Iowa. They keep raising taxes on the regular tax payer and lowering taxes on the corporations according to this article. This isn't hard to believe because Ed Failor has been tied to American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) who has corporate interests.

Ed Failor Digs A Larger Hole
From Ron Paul's campaign:
Jan Mickelson of WHO News Radio 1040 in Des Moines interviewed Ron Paul 2008 chairman Kent Snyder today about Ron Paul being excluded from the upcoming candidates forum sponsored by Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance. Ed Failor of Iowans for Tax Relief joined the interview later to explain why his group decided to keep Ron Paul out.
Here is the MP3 that was made available by the Ron Paul campaign. Fast forward to 1:01:16 to hear the interview and exchange with Ed Failor.
I just couldn't believe what I was hearing coming from this gentleman's mouth. The host of the show Jan Mickelson couldn't either because you can hear him laughing. He even called Ed Failor's explanation "lame".
Well this is a call out to those who live in Iowa to call Ed Failor at his office number. He says that Ron Paul is not a credible candidate. He says that Iowans aren't interested in Ron Paul! He says that we have "fringe type behavior". I do not know if this is true but he accuses Ron Paul supporters of hacking into his website. I find that completely absurd, but what do I know.
I do wish Jan Mickelson was a little more pointed in his questioning, but I think he was caught off guard. Let's not forget that Ed Failor has ties to a whole bunch of companies through the organization American Legislative Exchange Council. To show his involvement you can see this page that includes his profile. He also has given the McCain Campaign $1250 on March 31, 2007.
I would like to hear his response to this.

Petition For Ron Paul's Inclusion in Iowa
Last night there were a few petitions written in response to Ed Failor from Iowans for Tax Relief and Steve Scheffler from Iowa Christian Alliance. These two gentleman decided that Ron Paul's views should not be included in a presidential candidate forum that is taking place on June 30. Rather than try to fudge his speaking time like the mainstream media loves to do in the debates, they decided NOT to invite him at all!
I have come across this petition that is written a lot better than the first few I say just before midnight last night. Please sign this to see how many signatures we can get!
Remember to email and call these two gentleman too!

The Truth Why Ron Paul Is Excluded From Iowa Forum
All credit goes to Dailypaul.com on this one.
It appears that Ed Failor Jr. is senior adviser on the McCain Campaign in Iowa! Talk about a conflict of interest, huh? This is another site that says he is with the McCain Campaign just in case they try to say it's not true. And why not another which is a press release from McCain's Campaign itself!
Not only is he an adviser, but he has donated $1250 to the McCain 2008 campaign on March 31, 2007. This information is confirmed here.
How much more ridiculous will this get? Do they really think they can get away with something this blatantly obvious?
After about a half hour of Google searching, it appears that Failor has had a blind eye towards Ron Paul all along. In every single article, they say how "all" the presidential candidates each have their own challenges to overcome with Iowa's religious conservative views. Now rather than say Ron Paul matches their views, they completely leave out his name in every single article I have read.
Another aspect that Dailypaul.com has on their site is that Ed Failor is tied to an organization called American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) with a lot of big corporate money at stake. Here are some of the companies involved.
"ALEC has the financial support of more than 200 corporations including Coors, Amway, IBM, Ford, Philip Morris, Exxon, Texaco and Shell Oil. William Bennett, Jack Kemp, John Sununu, and George Bush have all addressed ALEC sessions in recent years."
Now as if it can't get any worse. Here are more companies that support their missions.
"Companies and industry organizations supporting ALEC's mission include Enron, Amoco, Chevron, Texaco, R.J. Reynolds, AT&T, the American Nuclear Energy Council, the Chlorine Chemistry Council, the American Petroleum Institute, and the Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America."
You can read the whole scoop here. Just seeing the list of companies this gentleman is dealing with, scares the heck out of me! Obviously these businesses do not like Ron Paul's message of truly free market activity and getting rid of corporate welfare.
This presidential campaign has turned into a soap opera, but I am not sure if that's a good thing or not. I used to watch those when I was 15 and they weren't very good. haha

Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa
I just got this in my email from Ron Paul's Campaign office. I am subscribed to his press releases and important news. This is extremely important. Please email the two organizers below and tell them you are disgusted with this. I wrote a very short email telling them how ridiculous it is that they are excluding a candidate that has won the debates AND is for abolishing the federal income tax.
From Ron Paul's campaign,
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.

Ron Paul Speaks at Phoenix Airport
Ron Paul gave an impromptu speech at the Phoenix Airport on June 16th 2007. He answers questions from the group of supporters there. I think this could be something you can pass around to friends and family members to introduce them to Ron Paul. He talks about illegal immigration, health care, a 9-11 investigation, the environment, alternative fuels and more!
This is probably the best speech I have seen in terms of the variety of questions he was asked and able to answer.
If you still haven't donated to Ron Paul's campaign you can do that here.
