Ron Paul at Iowa Forum

DES MOINES -- The lack of an invitation didn't stop< Congressman Ron Paul from crashing the party.

Congressman Paul, R-Texas, was not extended an invitation to speak at Saturday's Iowans for Tax Relief/Iowa Christian Alliance forum at Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines. But, he spoke to more than 500 supporters less than 100 feet away from a forum that saw six of his fellow GOP candidates address more than 800 at the forum.

As the ITR/ICA forum concluded, Paul was greeted by campaign enthusiasts from Iowa, Tennessee, Florida, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Arizona.

The out-of-state supporters flocked upon Des Moines after learning Paul was snubbed by the forum organizers. That move resulted in thousands of emails being sent to organizers, and some of of them in a threatening nature for what those in the Ron Paul Revolution called an injustice.

"I know they did him wrong," said Jim Demoret of Florida. "Dr. Paul is right on every issue. We all have the same goal. Let's restore the republic."

Killian Jones of Tennessee was among the 500-plus screaming supporters who waited for the congressman to speak Saturday afternoon. He was thrilled to make the trip.

"It is an exciting time," Jones said. "He has me interested in learning more about him."

Jones also called Paul's exclusion an injustice.

"It just doesn't see, quite right to me," he said.

The congressman spoke about the importance of life, liberty and property. The GOP stressed the need to return more responsibilities to the states, which he deems a positive move.

"Governments are instituted for very limited purposes, to protect life and to protect liberities," the congressman said. "That is what is magnificant about our Constitution. It was very limited in scope. It was not a license for government to do all the things that they do today. It was very narrow and that was the genious of the Constitution."

What is wrong with the Republican Party?

Declare war in defense of our liberties

The real problem is that we see people as groups instead of individuals. We don’t have rights as gays or women or minorities; we receive our rights from our Creator as individuals. If homosexual behaviour in the military is disruptive it should be dealt with; but if heterosexual behaviour in the military is disruptive it should be dealt with too. Apply the same standards to everybody.

Ron Paul Can't Pay His Rent

So Lets Help Him Out:

The Ron Paul 2008 campaign started in the corner of a one-bedroom apartment. It then moved to a small office of 348 square feet, which is where we are now. But our present office has become too small to accommodate the fast-growing campaign...and we need your help to expand.

Our present office is so small that we can't hire the much-needed additional staff for a national campaign. We even have to turn away volunteers because we simply don't have room for them.

Office space in the D.C. area is expensive, and landlords expect tenants to sign at least a three-year lease; preferably a five-year lease. But after we canvassed the area by foot and called numerous leasing agents and watched the local classifieds and checked CraigsList each day, we found a place! It's a sub-lease situation with flexible terms that we just couldn't pass up.

We will have the second floor of a modest, older, two-story building in Arlington, Virginia. It's only two blocks from a Metro station, making it convenient for staff and volunteers. The office is on a busy street; across from a very busy grocery store. Large windows will be perfect for a "Ron Paul 2008" banner! But most importantly, the new office will give us the space to build a national campaign.

However, office space here is expensive regardless of how modest the building is. And most landlords require political campaigns to pay the total rent in advance.

So we need your help.

We plan to move on July 15th. To do so, we will need to give the landlord a check for $54,000.00.

Will you help us write that check?

Enthusiasm for Ron Paul's bid for the presidency grows by the day. Our goal: put Ron Paul in the White House. And we all know why.

Help us write that check. Donate today by going to https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/

Thank you!

Abortion and The New Disability Cleansing

By Gregg Cunningham

Anyone who doubts that America is losing its sense of shame should download the website of abortionist George Tiller, accessible at http://www.drtiller.com/. The experience is certain to sicken any cyber surfer still in possession of a functioning conscience. After browsing through morbid photos of his "operating suite" you can read Tiller's bland acknowledgment that he kills babies at 37 weeks gestational age. For the arithmetically challenged, that's the ninth month of pregnancy. I call his victims "baby" (his term) because Tiller has now abandoned all pretense that they are otherwise. He even calls them "child." More alarming than his outrageous admission is its failure to provoke discernable public outrage.

Tiller is by no means the only abortionist killing near full term babies and he has plenty of company among abortionists on the net. But none of his colleagues showcase their handiwork with such self-promotional audacity. He is either contemptuous of public opinion or convinced that the public is beyond caring. Either way, his global ads seem to be reaching their target audience because Tiller's market penetration is deepening daily. German and Japanese television teams recently visited Wichita in search of interviews concerning the European and Asian women who are making the long journey to engage his grisly services. He recently doubled the size of his abortion clinic and in so doing, likely tripled his killing capacity.

It is difficult to confer clinical respectability on the killing of a neonate but Tiller takes a shot, so to speak, with the "Orwellian" term "fetal indications termination of pregnancy." Whew. That's Tiller-speak for the systematic extermination of developmentally "defective" babies. He also lists disorders which he says are among the conditions which justify killing these children. Several of these maladies are non-fatal and some may be only mildly disabling. He names "encephalocele," for instance, which The Merck Manual says "can be repaired and the prognosis is good for many of these patients." He also cites "hydrocephalus," concerning which the text, Diseases of the Newborn, Schaffer & Avery, Saunders, 6th Ed., 1991, says that with few exceptions ". . . every infant with neonatal hydrocephalus should be treated surgically . . . [and] 86% of infants survived following their shunt placement. Of these infants, 46% were reported normal on follow-up." Although Tiller denies performing these "terminations" without appropriate diagnostic evaluations, any intellectually honest clinician will concede the difficulty in predicting the severity of disorders whose very existence can be misdiagnosed.
