Republican Party wants Ron Paul to not be heard
Published Thursday, June 26, 2008
There may still be those who have never heard of the “Ron Paul Revolution.” And if the Republican Party has its way, they never will. As two of Goodhue County’s elected representatives (one delegate and on seated alternate) to the Republican State Convention in Rochester May 30 and 31, we want to share with you our experience as first-time state convention attendees. And it was an experience!
My wife, Charla, and I have been on the Ron Paul for President e-mailing list for months. Marianne Stebbins, Minnesota state coordinator, kept us up with the state Ron Paul news while the American Free Press Newspaper (uncensored news) kept us up with the national Ron Paul news (concerning Republican State Conventions from Coast to Coast), which appeared to parallel what happened in Rochester. Some have been more newsworthy such as last month’s Nevada State Convention in Minneapolis in September. The Republican part was so furious they stopped the convention and to this day refuse to send any delegates to the national! You probably haven’t heard this in the mainline news.
The Minnesota state Ron Paul coordinator contacted the Republican Party officials many times requesting a slot for Ron Paul as a speaker at the convention. She got no answer; finally a last-minute reply came back that he could speak if he would drop out of the race! He spoke in the park behind the Civic Center Friday, before the convention began at 9 a.m. Everyone was told to bring umbrellas as the forecast was 95 percent chance of thunderstorms. Hundreds of people filled the park at this last-minute notice and skies opened and the sun shone down when Dr. Paul appeared. He was music to ears of the people.
As an 11th term U.S. Congressman from Texas (R) and a humble Christian family man, Ron Paul is well-known and well-respected on Capitol Hill. He speaks of highly conservative values, those of the original Republican Party platform of years ago. He differs with his opponent, John McCain, in many ways — particularly his stand on the Iraq War and his plan to send all troops home from that nation as well as the 130-plus nations around the globe. The trillions of dollars saved will be used to protect our nation’s borders, free it of illegal immigrants and begin to pay off our national debt. His platform speaks of devout patriotism and common sense — something we don’t hear from McCain, Obama or Clinton.

Thanks for hearing what we "Paultards" and "Ronulans" have been crying foul over for so many months.
Welcome to the R3volution! :-)

In America, this kind of repression of speech by ignoring it with the help of a lapdog media is becoming the norm of the dominating two political parties. Very disturbing... Free speech that really isn't.

When I was a kid reading about the Nazi uprising and how they came to power it seemed so unbelievable that a nation could let that happen. Now, I so sadly see how easy it must have been for them...our media is the real enemy, they must be stopped. People are so programmed that if they see it on a "reputable" news program "it must be true." Only a small percentage of Americans will go that extra step to find the truth. Amen to the Ron Pauls, Jesse Venturas and Alex Joneses of this country...the true patriots. We can and MUST win this battle to save our country, and the world. Keep waking people up, even if they think you're crazy. Eventually they will witness something for themselves that will open their eyes. God Bless!

Thank You for writing this article. I feel like America may have a chance with politicains like Dr.Paul, Dennis Kucinich and a few select others that actually care about our Nation. So many of our Government officials have been bought over the years, that it's time the people took back control. Ron Paul is leading us back to our roots and has given the people hope that all is not lost. Keep spreading the word of liberty, people. Our future heirs will reap what we sow today. GOD BLESS the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. UNITED WE STAND.

Thank you for communicating your experience, mine was similar (deceit at best by the neo-cons). If we are to continue on as true patriots (versus so-called patriots for unconstitutional acts dictated to us by the would-be-kings), then we must show up in huge numbers at the Ron Paul convention taking place during the national convention in St.Paul. Let our roar smother the intentional miscommunication of the puppet mass media. I hope that after we take the Republican Party back from the DemoPublicans (neo-cons) that we can then take the nation back to what made it great to begin with (our constitution and the wisdom of the founders).

Thanks for the update. It's time for a change in the media, just not sure how to get it started.
