Skeptics might wonder how much it cost to block the inclusion of Ron Paul in the Iowa caucuses. What was your price? Others might just be furious that a couple of small time political operatives have obviously taken it upon themselves to decide for the rest of us, who can run for political office, and who will be excluded from the nation's earliest official contest.

Iowa needs to be excluded from the primary contests, as you two have just proven: because Iowa simply is no longer representative or in-touch with anything outside the State of Iowa. Iowa was once important, back when America still had family farmers: but with the coming of the New-World-Order to Corporate-Farming, Iowa has become irrelevant to the national electoral system, and because of this fact - changes must be made.

Iowa should no longer enjoy the prestige that it has always traditionally held, and this is especially true, given the intransigence that is so evident in your failure to respond to questions. That was probably a very large mistake - because this decision of yours will have repercussions, given the number of interested voters who will no doubt feel absolutely violated by the arrogance of your unilateral decisions.

Iowans For Tax Relief - Iowa Christian Alliance

As a Christian Conservative Radio Talk Show host and a believer in freedom, I am outraged by your Nazi censorship tactics excluding Congressman Ron Paul from your "Presidential Candidates Forum". This is very similar to the actions of the Communist Chinese or North Korean leadership. This is obviously the work of the Neo-Cons in the Republican Party not wanting Ron Paul to succeed in his bid for the White House.

Ron Paul is a grassroots candidate that is up and coming in this race. He is the only true conservative and Christian running for President. His record on Christian issues as well as taxes speaks for itself. His opposition to this unjust war in Iraq has obviously unleashed the attack dogs within the Republican Party. Both of your organizations are supposedly conservative and yet you exclude the most conservative candidate in the race.

Obviously this was done intentionally and it stinks of censorship.

Also for the Iowa "Christian" Alliance, how can you justify excluding the most Pro-Life and Pro-Family candidate in the field? There is no explanation other than either you folks are not a real Christian organization or you have been pressured by the Republican Leadership. Which is it? I along with America would appreciate an explanation other than the lame non answers given so far.

Ron Paul, by the way, was invited by both Fox News and CNN to participate in the nationally televised debates. Online Polls as well as both the Fox News and CNN polls showed clearly that he finished the debates as either the clear winner or close runner up. Once again, I would appreciate an answer as to how you can exclude the leading candidate from an online polling perspective.

I will eagerly await a response to my questions and will encourage my listeners to base their support for your organizations on your responses. Please respond to this letter with valid reasons from a Christian Conservative perspective why Congressman Ron Paul is being censored from your forum and yet Tommy Thompson the implantable microchip for humans candidate (Applied Digital Solutions), Mitt Romney the pro-homosexual anti gun candidate, and Rudy Guiliani the pro-abortion candidate have all been invited.

This reminds me of the days when a guy named Jesus was attacked by the dogs called Pharicees.

Thank you for your time and consideration regarding this important matter to all Americans not just Iowans.

Ed Failor of Iowans for Tax Relief joined the interview later to explain why his group decided to keep Ron Paul out.

"Congressman Ron Paul isn't welcome at the Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian

Alliance candidates forum. Oversight? Nope. Kent Snyder from Ron Paul's campaign and Ed Failor from ITR exchange words. Lotsa them." -- Wednesday, June 20, 2007,
