This is a travesty. The GOP leader is against freedom of speech.

Maybe his email box needs to be filled up with complaints and the MI GOP needs to be flooded with calls....

Ron Paul is about the only chance conservatives have in '08, even though it might be a longshot right now.

Just a few cut n pastes from Sauls Website.

I am a Republican Because... I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored. I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity. I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least. I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people. I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world. FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government. Soy Republicano Porque... YO CREO que la fortaleza de nuestra nación yace en el individuo y que la dignidad, libertad, habilidad y responsabilidad de cada persona debe ser honrada. YO CREO en la igualdad de derechos, en la justicia equitativa y en la igualdad de oportunidad sin prejuicios de raza, credo, sexo, edad, o capacidad físca. YO CREO que el sistema de libre comercio y el fomentar la iniciative individual han generado en nuestra nación oportunidades, crecimiento económico y prosperidad. YO CREO que el gobierno debe practicar la responsabilidad fiscal y permitir que el pueblo conserve la mayor parte del dinero que gana. YO CREO que la función del gobierno es proveer al pueblo solamente los servicios básicos que no son ofrecidos por los individuos o por las organizaciones privadas. YO CREO que el mejor gobierno es el que menos gobierna. YO CREO que el gobierno más eficaz, responsable y sensato es el que está más cerca de sus ciudadanos. YO CREO que debemos mantener los principios que nos han hecho una nación fuerte, al mismo tiempo que desarrollamos nuevas e innovadoras ideas que nos permitan enfrentar los retos del futuro. YO CREO que debemos valorar y mantner nuestra fortaleza y orgullo nacional, al mismo tiempo que luchamos por la paz, la libertad y los derechos humanos a través del mundo. FINALMENTE creo que el Partido Republicano es el mejor vehículo para transformar estos ideales en los principios positivos por los cuales se guían los gobiernos exitosos.

Anuzis is particularly proud of his family's history. He speaks with pride of the Righteous Among the Nations award his parents and paternal grandparents received from Israel's national Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, for helping three young girls escape from a Jewish ghetto and make their way from Lithuania to Estonia during World War II, escaping Nazi persecution. One of those girls, now grown and living in Israel, nominated them for the award.

He currently serves as Honorary Consul to Michigan for the Republic of Lithuania.



Having the ideals layed out in a foreign language always maked me warm and fuzzy.

Someone needs to let ole Saul know that petitions cut both ways. Call and let him know you're going to 'petition' all the companies that buy ad time during the debate and tell them you will simply refuse to buy their products if Dr paul is not invited , or in that event, unleast until Saul-y boy steps down from his position, and publicly apologizes for a blatant attempt to curtail free speech within his own party.
I just called and told them.
Maybe someone could find a list of advertisers that bought air time during the SC debate and proactively warn them that you will boycott their products should they sponsor this crap by purchasing air time in a debate where Ron Paul , the man who has scored the highest in most polls, is denied a forum . The only thing that will scare anyone is money.

It appears, with a forked tongue?

Call made.

Secretary couldn't comment on anything

I let them know that if Dr Paul is not in the next debate, that I will be contacting the sponsors that advertise during it.

[eyeofliberty]

Text of the email I sent to him:

"Perhaps you should withdraw yourself from the leadership of the Michigan GOP, instead! Or consider moving to Cuba or North Korea.

Ron Paul is the only decent GOP candidate available. You can keep your RINOs and "celebrity" candidates; this country needs real leadership and real solutions, not the kind of shills you and your kind are trying to foist upon the American people.

I suppose you would prefer the cross-dressing, pro-abortion, anti-gun shyster Rudy Giuliani?

Hopefully the blowback from your stupidity will strike you hard and heavy...

TRAITOR!"

I'd call, but I'm at work and cellphone deficient. Sounds like he's getting slammed, though.

[Silverstone]

Ok, I called. Hope enough people do to make a difference.

[keehah]

Good luck guys. We have a trend of the application of this facism in controlling our main political parties. Same thing that happened last month up North (to a candidate for a Federal Party-and for saying more). I hope Ron's fate is different with this support!

Gunner , me too. I signed the petition to the RNC , but they're probably only too happy to see paul banned . If there is outcry from supporters , thay'll just offer Anuzis head , Saul's just not sharp enough to see that is my guess.

Gotta hit them in the only place they care about. The wallet.
I plan to rewatch the debate and write down the names of the companies advertising(unless someone knows an easier way to find that info) and send them an email , to their advertising marketing department email address listed on their corporate website, along the lines of the following:


Dear Sirs:

As a registered voter with a keen interest in the upcoming elections , I was dismayed to learn that there is a petition being circulated by Mr Saul Anuzis, the Chariman of the Michigan Republican Party, to prevent one of the candidates, Dr. Ron Paul , (R) Texas, from participating in the next televised debate among the candidates for the nomination of the Republican Party, to take place in .......on.........., 2007.

More inormation is available here: http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/a...WS01/305170009

Not only do I believe that this represents an effort to suppress free speech, but an unprecedented attempt to disregard the very will of the people, as it should be noted here that Dr Paul has routinely scored among the three highest candidates in almost every popular opinion poll conducted on-line following the two previous debates, and in many cases , as the clear favorite.

I am writing to let you know that I do not approve of this, and will do what I can to assure that it is not ignored.

I note that your company was one of several that purchased air time in one, or both, of the previous debates. I am of the opinion that spending money to advertise during an event in which free speech and the will of the people are suppressed , is to condone and support such behavior.

Please note that should Dr Paul not be given the time, and respect, he has earned during this campaign, and should your company purchase advertising during the event , I will cease to buy any products or services offered by your organization, and will ask my that my friends and family do likewise.

To discuss this matter with the Michigan Republican Party , you may contact them at (517) 487-5413.

Sincerely,
momopanda


Can't hurt.

Can't hurt.

Momo - awesome letter !!!! (but one too many mys)

You're totally right, hitting them in the wallet will make them take notice. I'm wondering if the RNC donor list is part of public information?
Fox should have a list of the sponsors that purchased advertising during the debate, not sure if they would be forthcoming with the list
