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.
Send your message now. Keep up THE PRESSURE. Send your message here.
And thank you for being a part of the growing Downsize DC Army.

Out of simple fairness, do tehy even mention the exclusion of Duncan Hunter and Alan Keyes?
I havce written to The Leprechaun about this adn to the Dhue Point. Let’s see if they have the guts to use it.
Such actions as this could cause fence-sitters to back Paul out of spite at the old establishment.
Boycott by the Libertarians???? You mean both of them?
Ron who?
He’s a nut.
No, he should get a brain. Maybe the Wizard can help him out.
Paul need to locate the Hale Bop comet and climb aboard.
Well, it's becoming apparent who may have started this rumor. Rue Pauline is a fruitcake, as are his supporters.

Wasn’t the lobotomy enough?
Yeah.
About seven or eight pounds worth.
Well...if he wants to move from lightweight to featherweight, I guess he should.
Probably not, since he’s pretty thin already.
Ron Paul needs his own country
About 80 or 90 pounds would do nicely.
“Fred Thompson is expected to drop out of the race tomorrow. Now there’s room for Ron!”
I see the insantiy in the Ron Paul Campaign is not limited to the man at the top.
As far as I'm concerned, there is NEVER room for Ronnie.
I think they are the same people.
Ron Paul is a wierdo, hence his leftist moonbat followers.
