Dear Mr. Failor and Mr. Sheffler,
I am amazed at this report. I can’t understand why you would exclude the only candidate from either party that will give us true tax relief, allow everyone the Freedom of Religion that we are being deprived of by the encroaching federal gooferment, and in general shake up the national debate by urging a return to constitutional. I am outraged that you would seek to marginalize “my candidate”. Yes, my candidate. For the first time since Ron Regan, I have sent some modest sums to the Ron Paul campaign because I believe he’s the best candidate I’ve seen since Regan. If you parade a bunch of “stuffed suits” that are all big gooferment clones, then you will lose any credibility that you really want “Tax Relief” or “Freedom of Religion”.
I am forwarding this to every networking contact, fellow alumni, and relative in Iowa. I hope they help you understand how important it is for you to invite Ron Paul. Or, if you persist and don’t, that they understand which organization are “phony labels” and which are really trying to live up to their name.

Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa

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.
