 Open letter to Fox News regarding Paul's exclusion | File Type: application/pdf | Duration: Unknown

digg_url = 'http://www.celerityfm.com/2007/12/open-letter-to-fox-news-regarding-pauls.php4'; This is an open letter I plan to send to Fox News tomorrow if nothing changes- I'll also copy all the major news agencies in New Hampshire. UPDATE- I sent the letter. Here's hoping the media starts asking Fox for comment on this. According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report(1), Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008. The AP article says "Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson" will be participating in the debate. If Ron Paul isn't included then neither should McCain, Huckabee or Thompson. In Iowa/New Hampshire Ron Paul is either higher than or tied with Thompson or McCain and is close to Huckabee in the polls(2). In addition, Ron Paul recently broke the single day fund-raising record of all time in politics, taking in over $6 million dollars in a 24 hour period(3)- he's already raised more money in the 4th quarter then any other Republican did last quarter(4). Lastly, Ron Paul has won the lion's share of Republican straw polls conducted throughout the country- far and above any other candidate(5). Not to mention the fact that Ron Paul literally is the most popular, searched for candidate on the internet(6). Given that, how can Fox News exclude Ron Paul from an event such as this, just two days before the New Hampshire primary? What possible justification can they provide?

I can't believe CNN.... Anderson Cooper really failed as a debate host. He let the candidates walk all over him- but for the ones who didn't they were set to the sidelines. Ron Paul had a shining moment in the end, and he definitely had it out with McCain (and won the exchange IMO). Be sure to watch the Ron Paul ad that ran at the debate (below). In any case, after the debate I decided to rock and roll over to the Ron Paul Forums to see what everyone was talking about, and I noticed a link to Ron Paul Radio - with live coverage from Florida from Ron Paul supporters after the debate! - and THEN I noticed something even more amazing- Ron Paul's Justin.TV channel - with LIVE VIDEO COVERAGE of Ron Paul's post debate rally AND interviews with people after the debate - ALL LIVE! It was at that moment that I realized that things have truly changed. We truly are the media. The fact that I can tune into a live broadcast from somewhere in Florida to watch Ron Paul speak after the debate is true democracy in action. CNN can't stop this. The main stream media cannot compete. The speech that Ron Paul at the post debate rally, that I watched live through Justin.TV- the speech was INCREDIBLE. I will definitely find that video and post it as soon as I can. Meanwhile check out the ad that ran for the first time at the debate:

Though I have been blogging for over 6 years now I have only just now reached my 500th blogger post. Though I reached 500 a long time ago, but this is my 500th blogger.com post- I've been using Blogger since May of 2000- prior to that I kept my blog in a single HTML page that I updated by hand. It's all still there, in the archives on the left hand side. I always find it amusing to "go back in time" and read my old blog posts. Hi to me of the future. But lets move from discussing history to making history. Ron Paul is now at 8% in New Hampshire! - he continues to move up in the polls! Not only that but there is already another major fund raiser brewing- the newest Ron Paul fundraiser - Tea Party 2007! - It could make a huge impact just as the last one did - be a part of it!-- or atleast watch this excellent video about it and consider whether you should participate after watching: Lastly I wanted to share this final Ron Paul treat- a grandson and a grandma in a cuban family discussing Ron Paul, it's so cute! In the end the grandma gives in and says she's for Ron Paul :)

Thank you to all of our brothers and sisters who have served courageously for us throughout history and today. Members of the military have contributed the most to Ron Paul of all other candidates- there is a reason for it. A veteran himself, Ron Paul knows how important it is to only use our military as a last resort and only go to war with countries after a declaration of war by congress. Ron Paul will bring our troops home. Ron Paul will save lives. I'd like to share a special Ron Paul video about Veterans Day with you- it brought tears to my eyes: If it affected you as it did I then I urge you to participate in the Ron Paul Veterans Day Fund Raiser. Any amount will make a difference! Lastly, here is excellent coverage of the Ron Paul rally I went to on Friday. Hope to post my own pictures soon!

 Ron Paul - Now a top tier candidate! | File Type: application/x-shockwave-flash | Duration: Unknown

There was coverage of the press conference I mentioned yesterday : "Paul has about half of the funds that Giuliani has and is becoming the driving force in the Republican presidential primary. Paul’s campaign had a very simple message for the media. Three candidates are funded to seriously compete in the Republican primary, they are Giuliani, Thompson, and Paul. Ron Paul’s campaign is in an interesting position to demand equal time in the upcoming Fox News debate." Just look at these numbers, Ron Paul is less than $1 million away from catching Fred Thompson! Looks like the media now catching on! FOXNews used the phrase "Darkhorse Success" - he's moved up, he's moved up to top tier!!! Check out this morning's interview with Ron Paul on "FOX & Friends"-

 Despite showing up in person, Romney loses NV straw poll to Ron Paul! | File Type: application/x-shockwave-flash | Duration: Unknown

"SPARKS, Nev. – Ron Paul won the GOP presidential straw poll conducted by organizers at the Conservative Leadership Conference held at the Nugget Casino this weekend “by a large margin,” according to an organizer. Paul won with 32 percent, McCain came in second with 17 percent" - Romney came in 4th overall. As printed at MSNBC.com - Ron Paul just earned yet another straw poll victory. This adds to his dominance as Ron Paul has been the winner of the lion's share of straw polls taken this year nationwide. But editorially I feel like MSNBC really dropped the ball on this one- as one Digg commenter eloquently put it: "It's such bullshit. A story about Mitt Romney loosing - not Ron Paul winning. Why the fuck to we tolerate this from our media?" - yes, yes indeed. But I think it illustrates an important point- Romney had his people there, according to the article, but they just didn't vote for him- they didn't put forth the effort. They didn't do it because there just isn't any passion for Romney, certainly not when compared to Ron Paul supporters. But will the passion be contagious enough to make a difference? Ron Paul is trying to raise 4 million dollars this month- he's only up to $850,000 as of today. If you care about Ron Paul, I urge you to make a donation- no amount too small! In the last quarter I only donated $5, but I did my part and he raised over $5 MILLION last quarter! - but I'm not too worried about his fundraising skills- $1 million of that $5 million came in the last seven days. The man's got skills. He's gonna have the money and people are going to learn about his words and his special message of liberty. Lastly, today I was talking about Ron Paul and what Ronald Reagan said about him... and I couldn't recall the exact quote. But I have it now in the form of a 1 minute youtube clip- an excellent clip, one that I think could be a campaign commercial: "Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country." -Ronald Reagan

 You may have less then 24 hours to make a decision, yes, YOU! | File Type: application/x-shockwave-flash | Duration: Unknown

My first post in over 6 months and it's to deliver a very important message for registered democrat voters in New York and New Hampshire: If you know nothing about, haven't learned enough about or made a decision about Ron Paul yet then you have less then 24 hours to make a decision because New York and New Hampshire require that you change your party registration by tomorrow at the latest in order to vote for Ron Paul in the republican primary this year! New York Democrats go here to update your party affiliation for the primary New Hampshire Democrats go here to update your party affiliation for the primary This video from an interview with Ron Paul taken yesterday may be all the convincing you need: Democrats- Ron Paul is one of the few candidates, on both sides of the aisle, who has been against both the Iraq War AND the damaging foreign and domestic policies of the Bush Administration from the beginning! Since it appears that Hillary is nearly a foregone conclusion to be the nominee now is your chance to influence the other side of the race for the only republican candidate who stands for much of what you believe in too- it's a strategic move to hedge your bets- But don't take my word for it- here is an insightful article: "A liberal democrat's view of Ron Paul" I've always been libertarian minded- and Ron Paul is the only candidate I've ever felt this passionate about. I never thought I'd vote for a republican before- but this man is different- he's the farthest from today's republicans you can get- he's a respectful republican, he's a real conservative- not a neocon, not Fox News, not George Bush, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson or Rudy Guiliani! Ron Paul stands for freedom and personal liberty. If you want even more about Ron Paul then watch his latest video- if you still don't agree that Ron Paul is the most compelling Republican candidate after reading and watching all that I've shared with you then please share your thoughts with me in the comments section (video contains some graphic violence unfortunately, FYI)
