Ron not invited to April 18th science debate!
It seems that Ron is not invited to the "Science debate" on April 18th. In my opinion, we really need to show them that this is not acceptable and we will not stand for it.

Oh Well, it sounds like a
Oh Well, it sounds like a retarded and irrelevant debate anyways... just another chance for the candidates to show off their personalities for the ignorant voting populace.
Here's an email address

There are many universities here involved in this. Get the students riled up. I don't understand their definitions. Why 15%? What mathematical method was used to define Paul's chances "0"?
Just emailed this:
Where did the 15% polling or above requirement come into play? What mathematical model was used to determine that Ron Paul's chances were zilch? The are only 5 candidates left. You invited 4 based upon an obscure criteria. Do you not understand the following Ron Paul has in the higher education student body?
Please do the right thing. Enough of this censoring based upon conjecture.
If Ron Paul Has 100 Delegates...
If Ron Paul has 100 declared delegates by then, MSNBC could not possibly exclude him from the debate. Since he's already supposed to have 42, and many state caucuses will have been decided by then, 100 declared delegates shouldn't be that much of a problem. Someone with an official standing needs to stay on top of this. We have plenty of time to embarrass MSNBC on this issue; let's just keep focused.
Ron Paul already has over 100 delegates
according to this article and plus his 42 that he already has
equals 128 delegates. But i think they will still ignore him.. who knows tho.... http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/article/20080210/NEWS/8021...
I'd bet a gonad
That this "debate" never happens.
ignore them but the day before do a 10 million funds drive.

Remember the media thinks that they are all powerfull
They think that if they unplug you you die. Is this true? No we are all still here. Unplug from the matrix already people. There are millions of people living all around you waiting to have you knock on their door. Its called the real world. Maybe take half a pill and just make phone calls to your neighbors if your to afraid to go outside. Maybe just donate if you have been in the matrix so long you can't talk to a stranger. God how many people in here have left their houses in the last couple years. People get out and grow a pair. Jeez! This is as far under the radar as it gets. Just think if you don't go out their and talk to the nice people in your neighborhoods. The bad cops are going to come get you and take you to these big camps all full of people that are really mean and you will have to spend all your days and nights in front of all these people never getting to have any privacy and having to actually talk to people all the time. The worst thing about it is there will be no computers there. OH MY GOD THINK ABOUT IT NO COMP YOU BETTER HURRY AND GO TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL. OH THE AGONY!!!!!!
We have done a bunch!
The media are in fact very powerful. They are primarily responsible for making a message like Paul's so difficult to get out. Most folks tend to look for verification from a news program, magazine, or newspaper. The internet is for geeks and conspiracy theorists in the minds of many.
The debates are very important to a presidential campaign. Not only do the candidates get some real face time, the idiot pundits talk about the drama for the week after.
Oh, how convenient
April 18th is right before the Pennsylvania Primary. Doesn't this sound WAY too much like a do over of the FOX New Hampshire Snub.
Pennsylvanian's have worked way too hard to let the posers debate while Dr. Paul is sidelined. If anyone would like to help block the other debaters for this event go to http://www.ronpaulforumpa.com/smf/index.php?topic=598.0
and sign up to protest.

Keith Olbermann Tonight on Iraq War Troop Withdrawal Freeze
I repeat, someone needs to call Keith Olbermann on his hypocrisy. Tonight's segment on the troop withdrawal freeze is great; but, of course, there is no mention of Ron Paul.
Hit as many blogs as possible on this and remind people is in the race, and is the ONLY candidate that will withdraw troops from the Middle East. Obama has even talked about attacking Pakistan!
Who is the primary sponsor? Boycott time!
Don't you think!?
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

What's the purpose of the broken link???
??
We should
try not to let people like these exclude Paul or totally ignore him in the media, too many people are left with the impression he's not running anymore.
LOL
We have done everything up till now without them. Why does everyone have to rely on their welfare time on the media. They can't stop you from talking to every person in your precinct. How can they hurt us anymore. We are out in the precincts talking to people face to face and giving them information. Some believe some do not. Some will say he's out of it. We are only looking for the believers guys. Those lightbulbs that can be turned on not the blown ones. We are looking for light. blown bulbs don't produce light. While they are setting around waiting for the next little slot for air time we are out in the neighborhood. Would it be easer with coverage. Sure! So we make due with what we got. Each other! If you can get air time do it if not pound the streets guys. We already have the delegate we just need more people willing to spend a Sat. casting a Vote for our delegates. Why waist time sending emails and making phone calles to them every one of those e-mails and phone calls could go to someone that might be swayed to vote for Ron Paul. I got faith in everyone here to give their all to this man. Come on guys get out in your precincts and win everyone you can. Skip the ones who are set in their ways they take to much energy move on to the next guy.
Well....
We know where and when....They say it will be at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on April 18. That leaves plenty of time to organize a rally or something should we not make it into the show. What the hell does 15% have to do with anything? Is a $20,000,000 quarter not a big enough deal anymore?
One would think they would understand that their ratings would be much higher with a Paul invite. I was under the impression that money made them tick. I can't think of any other reason for them not to invite Paul than the simple fact that his message TRULY contradicts their motives and scares them.
This past year or so has been very eyeopening to sat the least.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
ARE YOU KIDDING ME AGAIN?!!!! ????
LETS MAKE A BIG UPROAR ON THIS ONE AND CONVERGE THOUSANDS UPON THE DEBATE WITH OUT CANDIDATE
Support Level
By the way, GOP hopeful Ron Paul hasn't been invited because his support hasn't risen to the 15 percent level.
Or might it be that his support hasn't risen to the 15% level because the networks shun him?
Not long ago the level of support required to be in debates was 5%. Then Paul passed 8% so they had to bump it up to 10%. Apparently Paul is now over 10% because they had to bump it up again. I think if Paul's support level was 50%, they'd require 60%.
Someone should remind them
Someone should remind them that he received more than 20% of the vote in Washington state when only 87% of the votes had been counted.
My letter
Mr. Boyle,
Please state your reason for denying the presidential candidate with actual scientific credentials, a licensed physician, from your science debate. I am disappointed at your snub of Dr. Ron Paul and in the interest of fair and balanced reporting request you ask Dr. Ron Paul to attend your debate on April 18th.
Myself and the more than half a million people who have already voted for Ron Paul are anticipating your answer. Your integrity as a journalist will be weighed and measured by your response.
Sincerely,
An MSNBC subscriber (for now)

I think I would write a few
I think I would write a few more letters in that tone, as he really is the only candidate left that has a doctorate degree. The thing IS, he was not even on the list of people that were NOT invited..LOL. They may not know he is running at all. He got over 15% in many states, and no one really knows how many delegates he has..
BE CAREFUL...
Be careful though about mass-emailing MSNBC...
It's not really even their debate...

Yeah, I caught that after I posted. Post is updated, thanks.
Why is the broken link a good idea???
??
A "Science" Debate?
and they are not inviting the only candidate who is an actual scientist with a doctorate in medical science and 50 years experience in his field?
science & techonology?
Oh my gosh... The man is a Medical Doctor & a brilliant economist, who can speak to the very issues of science & technology.
Not yet
my guess is they will have no choice but to include him as we approach the debate. this is more than 2 months away. I am sure his invitation got lost in the mail.
What happened to our resolve
What happened to our resolve to do mass email campaigns???
Peanuts?
Are we going to need to send massive amounts of PEANUTS to these MF's until they come out their anus'?
