&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject:&lt;/b&gt; Will You Join Me In Minneapolis?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font face=Arial color="#000000" size=2&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Dear Friend of Liberty,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wanted to personally write you today to urge you to make plans to attend my Campaign for Liberty's Rally for the Republic in Minneapolis, MN on September 2.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our Campaign for Liberty is causing quite a stir in the country's political establishment. The Rally for the Republic will be the official kick off of this organization which will be a true grassroots activists organization dedicated to taking back our freedoms from a government and political establishment run amok.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I urge you to purchase your tickets now, before its too late.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The event is already about two-thirds of the way sold out only two weeks into ticket sales. Liberty lovers from across the nation are planning their pilgrimages via air, car or Ronvoy, many willing to camp out under the stars just to join us in Minnesota for the historic-to-be Rally for the Republic. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;For all the information you need about the Rally please go to &lt;a title="http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?1Ec9-1wg4-5fEz72" href="http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?1Ec9-1wg4-5fEz72"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;www.RallyForTheRepublic.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; You can also click to TicketMaster from there to ensure a guaranteed seat at what I believe will be one of the most important events ever held for lovers of Liberty. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the Campaign for Liberty's Rally for the Republic you will not only enjoy good entertainment and a festive atmosphere, but more importantly, you will be there on the scenes as the Campaign for Liberty is launched. You will hear from a wide variety of polical leaders and see, for the first time, the unveiling of the plans, goals and mission of the Campaign for Liberty in an exciting presentation by Campaign for Liberty's Executive Director, John Tate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Again, I urge you to visit &lt;a title="http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?1Ec9-1wg5-5fEz73" href="http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?1Ec9-1wg5-5fEz73"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;www.RallyForTheRepublic.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and purchase your ticket today -- before they are SOLD OUT!.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then I'll see you there, at the Target Center, September 2, and we can, together with 13,000 of our closest friends, absorb the words of Grover Norquist, Doug Wead and Barry Goldwater, Jr. We'll also enjoy Tucker Carlson's humor, appreciate the talent of musicians Aimee Allen, Rockie Lynne and others, and best of all, join with me in launching the Campaign for Liberty. Together we will once again show the world that Freedom IS Popular.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;In liberty,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ron Paul&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;gt; I just heard from one of the organizers last night that they are trying to &lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; put together a parade for Slater.  There will be nothing else but they are &lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; working on the parade and want to get the word out so that they can get &lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; people to be in it.  Just wanted to pass it on in case anyone is &lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; interested in being in it.   I believe you could contact Jim Wilson at &lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; 685-2264 if you are interested.&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; Patty B&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-4666538546177748970&amp;page=RSS%3a+Slater+Parade%3f&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=iowajohnbirchsociety.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=IowaJohnBirchSociety"&gt;</description><comments>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!1989.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!1989.entry</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:33:28 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!1989/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!1989.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-07-02T22:33:28Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Fair Booth Funds Needed</title><link>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!1886.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Tonight's  film at the Ames Public Library was&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'Revolution by Treaty'. John McManus described&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;how the Federal Government through deceit and&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;illegal behavior is subverting the Constitution and&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;infringing on individual Liberties. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;As an example, Washington insider up through the&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;sixties, John Foster Dulles, believed that treaties&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;superseded the Constitution, something that couldn't &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;be further from the truth. But what can we expect &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;from a founding CFR member. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;More current examples are NAFTA, which couldn't even&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;achieve treaty status, yet is ushering the U.S. into&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;the North American Union. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The treaty which got us into the United Nations. A &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;body which is contrary to the Constitution, and therefore&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;any subsequent edict out of the UN should &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;therefore have been void. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The UN's Agenda 21,  that property grabbing&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;obscenity from the early 90's. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It seemed that all these foreign entanglements&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;therefore have led us into that bizarre time &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Minutemen  and  Patriots 
&lt;p&gt;This Sunday 19th of August at 0700am we will be protesting at the Drake University the Sheslow Auditorium.  The actual address is 2507 University Ave.  This our chance to really educate the country on national news.  Our theme is NO AMNESTY THEY MUST LEAVE OUR  COUNTRY TO APPLY FOR WORKER VISA, OR CITIZENSHIP. We need everyone we can get to show up to this one.  This one is national we need all to show, 20 or 30 people won't hack it.  I need 2 or 3 hundred of you to show.  It would be better that 4 or 5 hundred or more of you to show.  
&lt;p&gt;I would like to extend an invitation to the Minuteman Package out of Minnesota, Minutemen out of Nebraska, the Nebraska Advisory Group, The Riders against illegal Aliens, the United Citizens, and Mothers against Illegal aliens,  If someone has another organization that they think would like to participate please forward this E-mail to them. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; I would love to see some of those Ron Paul supporters show for this they were good at the straw pole&lt;/font&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From the East and North&lt;/strong&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;On the 20th and 21st of August I would like all the Iowa Chapters to conduct a protest in 
&lt;p&gt;their main town of their county and to send a news release to your press to cover it. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" size=2&gt;The reason for this protest is that Bush will be in Canada meeting with their leader and Mexico's leader and try to push the North American Union.  The Canadians will be protesting by the 10's of thousands.  The people in our country have not woke up&lt;/font&gt;  enough for us to field those numbers but they will one day.  Our numbers are growing all the time.  For your kids and grand children come out and support these protest.  No one has to howler or act crazy to get across what our message is.

&lt;div&gt;Straw Poll to be announced at 7 pm central,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;they of course, are now past 1 hour late. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;These are the same nitwits who turned away &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;a father at the door of Hilton Coliseum &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;and his 2 year old cause the 2 year &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;old didn't have a ticket. The people at the door&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;were told &amp;quot;no one gets in without a ticket&amp;quot;,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;obviously meaning people close to voting age. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Not for those Nazi's, they couldn't figure out&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Ran into more cases of voters taking&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;advantage of the bus ride or ticket of&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;one candidate, only to vote for another.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Or taking a &amp;quot;free&amp;quot; t-shirt of someone they&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;had no intention of voting for. Perhaps the &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;giver of the t-shirt doesn't care, advertising&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;is afterall advertising. Still, it strikes me as&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;low class. Especially when I see them &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;sucking down the food in a tent they are not&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;attired for.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;What can I expect. This is a state where the&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;people are so clueless they voted for&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Complete with Ferris Wheel and tent, and &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;several thousand signs and brochures,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;FairTax.org had a huge amount of visibility&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;at the Iowa Republican Straw Poll. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Steve from Illinois seemed to be representative&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;of the group behind this event. Part of that&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;section of America that feels tax policy will&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;be the cure for what ails us. I can assure them,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;it won't. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It would be nice to see it in place, none the less. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;As we approached that section of Iowa State &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;University, where the Straw Poll was held, one&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;thing became obvious to even the most obtuse &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;observer,  Ron Paul supporters were everywhere.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;And at 8:00 in the morning, they had been there&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;awhile, even though events didn't begin until 9:00.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Holding Ron Paul signs of all shapes and styles,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;the first man I met was Chad from Illinois. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Across from him was a young lady who had&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;drove, by herself, from California. That has to be &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;close to 2000 miles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Wayne was from Reno NV, with his about 10 year old son.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I also saw folks for Ron from Columbus OH, Missouri,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Nebraska, a bus load from Ill, GrannyWarriors.com&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;from N. Carolina, people from Wisconsin, and&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Steve- The Sign Guy from Spartanburg, where&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;ever that might be. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;If sweat and enthusiasm were able to able to bring home &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;the bacon, It would have been Ron Paul in a landslide.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; Jim Roach&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-4666538546177748970&amp;page=RSS%3a+Ron+Paul+supporters+crisscross+U.S.+to+come+to+Ames&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=iowajohnbirchsociety.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=IowaJohnBirchSociety"&gt;</description><comments>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!936.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!936.entry</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Aug 2007 21:43:16 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!936/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!936.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2007-08-11T22:23:58Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Romney wins straw poll- from the eyes of attendee</title><link>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!935.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The results are not expected to be for another&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;2 1/2 hours, but if Romney doesn't win the Ames&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;straw poll, I would be stunned.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The Mittwits in their yellow &amp;quot;Team Mitt&amp;quot; shirts&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;were everywhere. And their big red foam &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;novelty hands. That campaign has money. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;And a fleet of golf carts, but that's about it. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Mitt's speech at Hilton Coliseum, first out of the gate,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;was nothing but a collection of clichés and &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;platitudes. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;His speech paled in comparison, even in the eyes&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;of my Democrat son, to the meat and potatoes&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;speech of Tancredo, or the big picture speech of &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ron Paul. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Regrettably, their efforts will all go for not. Machine &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;and money triumph once again. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;August 9, 2007&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Dear Supporter,  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="34http://www.partnerorganizations.com/r.asp?u=2044"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just 3 more days to the straw poll! This Saturday, is our best chance to make sure the political elites and the mainstream media get the No Amnesty message loud and clear. &lt;b&gt;We are counting on each one of you to do everything you can to &lt;a title="http://www.teamtancredo.com/iowa_straw_poll_index.asp" href=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;be there&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  in Ames for Tom and for the county. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To help you get there, we put together this package with what we hope is all the information you need for this Saturday's Straw Poll. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;table style="border-collapse:collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" border=1&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td width="100%"&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;Bring your Iowa driver's license or a photo ID showing you are an Iowa resident. You will need to show identification to vote!&lt;br&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;All tickets will be held at the Tancredo Tent. NOTE: If there are family members or friends who decide at the last minute to join you to support Tom at the straw poll they are most welcome! We have extra tickets just for that purpose!&lt;br&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;The ticket vouchers mailed last week must be redeemed at the Tancredo Tent. Don't worry if you didn't get them or if you forget the vouchers at home. Your tickets will still be waiting for you.&lt;br&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;All Iowans -Republican, Independent, and Democrat are welcome to come to the straw poll and vote for Tom. All that is necessary is that you have a valid Iowa photo ID and that you are 18 years old by Election Day-- November 7, 2008.&lt;br&gt;  
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;There is plenty of room on our buses. You don't need a reservation - just be on time - and bring a friend too! &lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Now that you have these important facts, here are the details:&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Click&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.teamtancredo.com/iowa_straw_poll_index.asp" href=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;here to sign up&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;for the Straw Poll if you have not done so already!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;For those arriving by car - click &lt;a title="http://www.iowagop.net/downloads/Straw.Poll.Parking.pdf" href=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for a map of available parking areas.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are arriving by car:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;FROM U.S. HIGHWAY 30, take the Elwood North exit (exit 146) toward Iowa State Center. Traffic attendants will direct you to the closest parking area.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Use the Straw Poll Ground map, or follow the signs to the Tancredo tent to &lt;b&gt;check in and pick up your tickets&lt;/b&gt;. (NOTE: Those of you who received ticket vouchers in the mail &lt;u&gt;from us&lt;/u&gt; must go to the Tancredo Tent and redeem them for Straw Poll tickets.)&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Our volunteers will direct you to one of three voting areas where you will present your ID and then cast your vote &lt;b&gt;[NOTE: You must present a valid Iowa driver's license or photo I.D. to vote at the straw poll.]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;After you vote for Tom, come back to our tent for a great afternoon of food and fun, or if you must be on your way, say &amp;quot;Hi&amp;quot; to Tom and be about your day!&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are taking a Tancredo Express Bus:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Check our list of bus pick-up locations and times to find the one most convenient for you. If you have any questions call 1-888-468-6608 and ask for Rachel.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;On the day of the Straw Poll, PLEASE BE PROMPT, so as not to keep your fellow troops in Tom's Army against Amnesty waiting.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Each bus will have a bus captain who will instruct you on where to go once the bus arrives in Ames.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you miss the bus on the day of the straw poll&lt;/b&gt;, or have any other questions call 1-888-GOTOM08 or 1-515-450-3646.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;Buses will be departing Ames between 5 pm and 6 pm, with the exception of the Des Moines Express which will be running all day long.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Arial&gt;As his campaign chairman, I must tell you that Tom is counting on you. He cannot succeed in Ames without your help. Your presence at the Straw Poll is critical in our fight against amnesty politicians. So join us in Ames, and together let's take our country back!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My warmest regards, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bay Buchanan&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;P.S. If you can't spare a whole day, just drop by long enough to vote for Tom. There is nothing more important to our cause right now than a strong showing in Ames.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-4666538546177748970&amp;page=RSS%3a+Tom+Needs+YOU+at+the+Iowa+Straw+Poll!&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=iowajohnbirchsociety.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=IowaJohnBirchSociety"&gt;</description><comments>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!925.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!925.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Aug 2007 01:12:06 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!925/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://IowaJohnBirchSociety.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!BF3D1FEAA8685016!925.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2007-08-10T01:12:06Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Ron Paul- Sun.

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style="font:10pt arial;padding-top:10pt"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sent:&lt;/b&gt; Friday, August 03, 2007 11:26 AM&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject:&lt;/b&gt; Ron Paul - Sun. Aug. 5th&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Friends,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Just wanted you all to know, Dr. Ron Paul's plans were just finalized for the time slot following the debate on Sunday morning&lt;strong&gt; Aug. 5th (ABC begins at 8AM &lt;/strong&gt;- I am taping it to 10 AM).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10:30 AM&lt;/strong&gt;  -  He will attend the worship service at First Federated Church (at the corner of Hickman Rd. and 48th St. in Des Moines).  Please join us for worship if you would like.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12:10 PM - 1:30 PM &lt;/strong&gt;- He will be at the park next to First Federated (located at the corner of 50th St. and Hickman Rd.).  Bring a lawn chair and a drink.  It sounds like it will be hot!  We will be in the NE corner near some of the only trees in the park.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;If you are only coming to the Park event, then you will need to park in the small lot off of Hickman that belongs to the Park or along a side street.  It really doesn't have any good parking.  However, if you don't get there too early and the large lot at First Federated is empty because the traffic from the service has let out, then you may proceed to the NW corner of that lot that joins the Park's boundries.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This is a very touchy deal as we do not want to interfere with the church in anyway.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I say this because it is their policy to only announce that a President, State or federal Congressman or candidate for one of those offices is in their service, but they will not do anything else to accommodate them (whether it is offering a room at the church or space to gather in their parking lot).  The reason behind this policy: If they did, they would have to offer the same accommodations to ALL and they may not want to.  I actually do see their reasoning behind the policy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I would like to stress that this is NOT a Rally, it is an impromtu 'Meet Ron Paul' time, and if you plan to come, please try to bring at least one person that has not heard Ron Paul speak before as he will have a portable microphone and will probably speak briefly to those gathered there.  THANKS!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;   The other day, on the local news coverage of the upcoming &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;straw poll, it was reported that Romney was scaling back&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;his manpower and dollar investment in the straw poll because&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;Giuliani and McCain were not participating. (slow burn)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;   How can this be? The controlled media has anointed these &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;3 front runner status, before the first actual contest. Now &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;when the first contest comes along, and they can't win&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;because of their east coast liberal politics, why are they given a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;pass?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;   Shouldn't the front runners be able to win a straw poll?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;If they can't win, why are they front runners?? Isn't that&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;the definition of a front runner? That you are a winner? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;   What upside down logic determined that &amp;quot;front runners&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;don't have to win? That they can be given a pass? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;   It seems very much to me that we are being setup for&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;a situation where a Paul or Tancredo victory will &amp;quot;not&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;mean anything&amp;quot; because the &amp;quot;top three&amp;quot; did not participate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;Well then why are they the top three? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We will be at the Hy-Vee Hall, Room C, Iowa Events Center, 730 Third Street, Des Moines, Iowa. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please come out to show your support. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Details about the event can be found here: &lt;a title="http://ronpaul2008.c.topica.com/maagRJsabzs0Ub8L9EHe/" href="http://ronpaul2008.c.topica.com/maagRJsabzs0Ub8L9EHe/"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;http://eventful.com/events/E0-001-005011869-5&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Help us prepare for the event by filling out this &lt;a title="http://ronpaul2008.c.topica.com/maagRJsabzs0Vb8L9EHe/" href="http://ronpaul2008.c.topica.com/maagRJsabzs0Vb8L9EHe/"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;RSVP form.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; If you are attending as part of a larger group, please have your organizer or leader fill out this form.

&lt;h3&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Wednesday, June 20, 2007&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Ron Paul Excluded From Iowa Debates&lt;a&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.ronpaul2008.com/ron_paul_2008/2007/06/ron_paul_exclud.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;http://blog.ronpaul2008.com/ron_paul_2008/2007/06/ron_paul_exclud.html&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron Paul, however, will not participate. Why? Because he wasn't invited.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lew then called Mr. Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Christian Alliance, to talk with him. Mr. Scheffler did not answer so Lew left a message. He has yet to respond.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We couldn't get answers to these questions from Messrs. Failor and Scheffler. Maybe you'll have better luck. Their contact information is below.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kent Snyder, Chairman&lt;br&gt;Ron Paul 2008&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact Information for Iowa Debate Holders:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Edward Failor&lt;br&gt;Iowans for Tax Relief&lt;br&gt;2610 Park Avenue&lt;br&gt;Muscatine, Iowa 52761&lt;br&gt;Phone: 563-288-3600 or 877-913-3600&lt;br&gt;Fax: 563-264-2413&lt;br&gt;E-mail: itr@taxrelief.org&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steve Scheffler, President&lt;br&gt;Iowa Christian Alliance&lt;br&gt;939 Office Park Road, Suite 115&lt;br&gt;West Des Moines, Iowa 50265&lt;br&gt;Phone: 515-225-1515&lt;br&gt;Fax: 515-225-1826&lt;br&gt;E-mail: &lt;a href="mailto:slscheffler@iowachristian.com"&gt;slscheffler@iowachristian.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject:&lt;/b&gt; Iowa Christian Alliance - Spring Kickoff&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I don't normally attend this function, however, Dr. Laurence White (a Lutheran Pastor from Texas) will be speaking.  He is the one that I gave many of you a cassette tape of.  He talks about Nazi Germany and how the Christians should have stopped it.  They don't have a donation amount specified, however, they did say they would ask for a donation at the door of whatever you can give.  They also asked that you call in your intent to attend (1-888-722-4704 or 515-971-7363).  It will be &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;Tuesday, February 27th from 5:30 - 7:30 at Point of Grace Church in Waukee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (305 NE Darmoor Dr.)  I don't think it is a dinner.  Hope to see you there!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
