I was browsing the news for Iowa polls and ran across this piece which says that Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance will not let Ron Paul participate in their upcoming event which is being co-sponsored by FairTax.org. The information was apparently obtained by an email from the Ron Paul campaign.
Ron Paul recently placed second in a straw poll released by the National Taxpayers Union. The NTU conference was co-organized with Iowans for Tax Relief and, given his record of never voting to raise taxes, his exclusion does seem a bit odd.
Ron Paul fans gained some notoriety recently for flooding the phone banks in order to stop Saul Anuzis from circulating a petition to keep Dr. Paul out of future debates. Will they go to work to ensure he is included in this one?

It would seem fair to include him, but I guess they aren't obligated to. Didn't they know they'd get flak for leaving out Ron Paul?
They don't care about being criticized. There are hidden agendas and perks for many of these persons. The leaders of this organization misrepresent themselves. If I had been a contributor, I will be now suing them for collecting money under false pretenses. They say they are a tax-exempt, educational organization aiming at lowering taxes through education, and they don't invite the only candidate who hold that viewpoint. In my book that is fraud. So one of their leaders supported Pataki and now McCain. Big spenders! This organization is conning Iowans of their money.
Really? Well, I live in Iowa so maybe I'll run by the office and see if I can't get an official comment on the matter. I looked up some information on Ron Paul and he seems to be a Christian man with a deep anti-tax voting record. Perhaps Fairtax.org doesn't want opposing opinions present? I don't know.
