The Republican Party in Iowa is attempting to leave Vietnam Vet, Dr. Paul off the ticket in Iowa.

There are many of us who feel that would be a big mistake, especially those of us in the US Mililtary.

Those, like Dr. Paul, who are fighting to keep america safe, not just for our families, but for all American Citizens.

I call on all servicemembers especially, to continue to send RESPECTABLE CALLS to the rep. party headquarters, in Iowa, and let them know that keeping Dr. Paul off the ticket, would be a big mistake.

Seper fi and God bless.

The Republican Party will never let Ron Paul get a significant share of their Conservative vote.  They'll marginalize him like the Dems marginalized Nader in 2000 and 2004, and for the same reasons -- not to split their vote base.

It's a fairly simple exercise for a major party to keep a 3rd party or candidate off the ballots in enough states that the protest vote is minimized.  They just sic their army of lawyers at the state election boards and enough problems are always found that the target candidate's name is removed.  If the target candidate had his own army of lawyers, he could do the same thing to the Dem and Repub candidates, since their petitions are no more sound than his -- but as a 3rd party guy, he doesn't have that army at his command.  And, in many states, the election law automatically enrolls the Dems and Repubs on the ballots ... so there's nothing for the target candidate to challenge in reprisal for his own challenge.
