Iowa GOP inundated by irate calls from Ron Paul fans

You'll note I said that lower tier candidates polling below 5% were excluded from the Iowa GOP debates. Ron Paul's noisy base has been all over this. They have angrily called and emailed the Iowa GOP complaining about his being excluded. They said they have recieved a few emails complaining Duncan Hunter has not been included but not near as many complaints as they have heard for Ron Paul. We need to change this. At the end of this article. I will provide the link to yesterday's blog entry. You can click on it and get contact information to get ahold of Fox News and the Iowa GOP. Let's fight for Duncan Hunter's right to be heard and the right of the American people to hear him!

"The Iowa Republican Party put out an advisory Tuesday setting standards for participation in a Dec. 4 debate it is sponsoring with Fox News. The phone has been ringing off the hook ever since.

That's because the sponsors said participants need to average 5% support among Republicans in recent national or Iowa polls -- and so far, Texas Rep. Ron Paul is one of the candidates not making the cut.

News of the party's decision and how to protest it was spread quickly over the Internet by supporters of the anti-war, anti-tax, anti-abortion libertarian. "We are getting bombarded" with calls and e-mails from Paul's supporters, said GOP spokeswoman Mary Tiffany. She said there were 25 voice mails from angry Paul supporters before the start of business Thursday."
