FOX "Decides" for New Hampshire, Bans Paul from Forum
So much for "free and open" elections in America. FOX tampers with elections again, banning Paul, the only traditional republican conservative, for limited government, lower taxes, and only wars for self-defense candidate. This is not media "reporting", but media "deciding" for you, and in the early and very close New Hampshire race, where 40 percent of NH voters are independents.

Quote of the Day:
"It is not because a part of the government is elective, that makes it less a despotism, if the persons so elected possess afterward, as a parliament, unlimited powers. Election, in this case, becomes separated from representation, and the candidates are candidates for despotism."

Subject: Should Ron Paul Lose Weight?
Tonight's the night. The Iowa Caucuses happen this evening. We're about to get a real-world market test of the popularity of the downsizing message. Meanwhile . . .
We are seeing the power of the Downsize DC strategic approach: pressure works! The Ron Paul Army is proving the concept.
As of this hour Fox News is still planning to exclude Ron Paul from their pre-primary New Hampshire candidate forum. They don't like the small government message. They're afraid of it, and they don't want it to be heard. But their justification for it has had to change, because of . . .
THE PRESSURE
First Fox News claimed it was a decision of the New Hampshire Republican Party, but the NH GOP asserted otherwise, and called for Ron Paul to be included. The Republican Party felt . . .
THE PRESSURE
And so, Fox News now claims that the forum will be held on a bus, and there isn't enough room to hold all the candidates.
Should Ron Paul lose weight so there will be room for him? They could save even more space if they exchanged small Paul for fat Fred (sorry Senator Thompson, I couldn't resist the alliteration). It's a silly excuse, and for daring to be so lame Fox News needs to continue to feel . . .
THE PRESSURE
Hit Fox News with more messages. Here are some talking points you can use to turn up THE PRESSURE . . .
* Fred Thompson is expected to drop out of the race tomorrow. Now there's room for Ron!
* Zogby reports that Ron Paul is now in double digits in Iowa. He's at 10%, and tied with the media's favorite candidate, John McCain. Poll numbers will no longer work as an excuse to exclude the small government message.
* NewsCorp, the parent company of Fox News, is taking a major financial hit because of the exclusion. Ron Paul supporters are dumping the stock, causing the price to plummet, and the Ron Paul Army is putting pressure on Fox News advertisers to drop their ads on the network. You can see what people are saying about the NewsCorp stock here.

And thank you for being a part of the growing Downsize DC Army.
