Republican National Committe
It is a serious assault on Free Speech when the RNC and other GOP Factions seek to bar the speech of an official candidate for President in the race for the Republican nomination. Ron Paul is under attack by FOX News and various analysts who actually believe he should be removed from debates and the party itself.
The Republican Party and the RNC are afraid that a real candidate would jeopardize their hijacking of conservative issues. It is clear that a real candidate like Ron Paul would reinstate adherence to the Constitutional intent of government– a far cry from the current direction the party is being led in.
BUT REGARDLESS of whether you love or hate Ron Paul or the Republican Party, one must stand up for and defend the right to Free Speech. Ron Paul is the FRONT RUNNER in this race– he won every major poll regarding the first Presidential debate and won the majority of polls pertaining to the second debate aired by Fox News. He came in second place in the FOX poll– despite ongoing on-air bashing and calls for his removal from the race and the party itself during the poll.
The Republican primary is the tool the people use to decide which candidate will prevail– it is not the duty of talking heads and pundits to bully and cull candidates who should be decided by VOTERS.
The Republican Party leadership are now officially put on notice that the whole country and world are witnesses to their concerted effort to rig the debate process. It’s not a secret that party operatives are attempting to cheat the debate process and block Ron Paul from appearing in further debates.
The call to ban Ron Paul from further debates is a clear attempt to block the First Amendment and will be seen by the public for what it is — cheating.
William F. Buckley recently stated that the Republican Party’s very existence is in danger. This new neo-con attack on our electoral process is treasonous and if not reversed, will cause a further mass exodus from the party.
People will not tolerate a Republican party that is anti-American, anti-Free Speech and who continue to undermine the electoral process laid out by the founding fathers and the Constitution.BE IT DECLARED, that the undersigned request the Republican National Committee to support fair election procedures, as well as the views and desires of its members and American citizens, by allowing Congressman Ron Paul full participation in all future debates and election events as a Republican National Committee candidate.
Sincerely,
“William F. Buckley recently stated that the Republican Party’s very existence is in danger.”
Wasn’t this due to their misuse of the flux capacitor, and it’s effect on the space-time continuum? I’d be worried too!
Well folks, if you have any hope left for our country, you need to wake up to the fact that the entire election process is rigged to allow the elites to keep power.
I’ve said it so many times that I won’t belabor the point here. If you want a complete look at the scam the two parties are engaged in, please, go to my website, joeolivaforpresident.org and you can spend as much time as you like evaluating my proposition. You can email me there through the site link and tellme what you think. I look forward to all comments, pro or con. Check it out, why not? Do you not yet understand that the elites have stolen our birthright? They have but we can reclaim it. Thanks, Joe
Joe, if you can figure out how to include a hyperlink in your posts I’ll vote for you for U.S. president (fingers crossed behind back).
Joe, just ignore this captain_menace fellow. Something is amiss in his mind. This is a most grave subject and captain_menace responds in this fashion! He needs help! I bet he’s a “freeper” (Free Republic groupie)
Come on Hugh… politics? … a grave subject?
Me thinks you’re nuts. And who doesn’t love the Free Republic? I saw them live in Dallas, their drummer is awesome!
captain_menace, I have heard there is a virtue in consistency…perhaps the thought was incorrect in this instance.
I bet Bart and Mac are anti-free speech and want Ron Paul out of the NEOCON Party!
No problem Hugh,
Our public education system has produced millions of such people with something amiss in their minds. It is all part of the plan to keep the sheep, I mean citizens, unaware.
As for the hyperlink thing Cap, I have to wait on my grandson, he’s the computer genious, but I think I just have to select ‘link’ in the toolbar and it will magically work out. You can uncross your fingers now.
Also, its not only the Republican elites who are anti-free speech. The Dems are agitating for restoring the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ so that people don’t have to be bothered hearing more than one point of view.
Joe, does this represent the majority of the American people?

Hugh, I think it is very close to that. The only change I would make is instead of a picture of President Bush, it would show a split screen view with a donkey and and elephant.
Joe,
Exactly! As I know Caroline and her friends can see no wrong with the donkeys.
Hugh,
Nope, but I like I said using things like conspiracy sites don’t help the causes of people like John.
Caroline,
When the establishment labels a site “conspiracy”, it’s very effective. It automatically keeps folks like you away from the truth. The establishment certainly knows how to manipulate the populace.
But with that said, there are many untruths out on the web. It can be challenging to find the truth. Step one, know your source!

Are you signing the petition?
John,
Do you need me to? If the RNC knows that Dem’s and Indy’s are signing the petition aren’t they LESS likely to listen? What do you think? I don’t mind signing but I don’t know if it would help or not.
caroline
The point is free speech not Party!
John,
I know but isn’t the petition to the RNC? For some reason, Republicans have long been against “free speech”.
The problem I have with “conspiracy” sites is most people can’t emerge from the fray with anything resembling a political ideology or even get involved. Part of the design maybe. Because when the “sheeple” get a whiff of the truth most will run in the opposite direction right off a cliff. You can sense the panic among friends when you bring this stuff up in conversation. And then of course a good portion of the “tinfoil hat” crowd is utterly useless too. They would rather talk about the most outlandish stuff (which may or may not be true) and (just like the apocalyptic types) seem to welcome the destruction in some perverse sort of way.
Caroline stated in her post #17:
“…Republicans have long been against “free speech”.”
Caroline, what you said certainly has truth to it, but you must admit the Democrats are the same in that regard and perhaps even worse than the Republicans. You do know that, don’t you?! The PC movement knows no party, it’s universal!
Let Paul in the debates…please. The more people hear his wacked out views, the more people will remove him from consideration.
RON PAUL — America caused 9/11, Stop America Now!
Bart
Why is Paul growing in the polls?
He’s not John. You looked at one poll from one state that proves he still is not a credible candidate. He has no gain whatsoever in national polls.
So many Paulheads are dems they have now gone overboard with the victim status crap. These folks will not be able to vote for Paul because they will be in the dem booths choosing between Hussein, Breck girl and that carpet bagging, two-faced woman from ChicagHopeArkWashingNewYork (Hillary should be in the next AT&T wireless commercial).
Bart
You are wrong this is a NAYIONAL ZOGBY POLL. That is why many think his numbers will get even better in NH because now he has money. And the numbers is without Paul spending much.

Poll conducted 600 likely Republican primary voters from 11/08-11/11.
No other poll has him rising…in fact USAToday/Gallup showed a lead balloon like drop from 5% to 1% (10/12 vs. 11/4) for Paul.
No matter, Paul is not growing enough in any poll to be a factor. Like I wrote many times, he is going to have to find a way to convince all his dem supporters that they should cast ballots in the GOP primary…not going to happen (this reminds me so much of the BS coming from your campaign John about “40%” polling data
.
If I ran in a general against Price it would be close. But I am out of politics.
