Ron Paul: A New Hope

Americans Against Media Censorship Of Presidential Candidate Ron Paul

Target:
Major networks: A.B.C., N.B.C., C.B.S. etc.
Sponsored by: 
Since the debates began in 2007, in preparation for the 2008 presidential election, the media has routinely failed to give 2008 presidential candidate & Texas Congressman (R)Ron Paul, either equal time as afforded all others, or in most cases, censored him via preclusion; and to such extent, that as a result, many Americans would never know of him. This is a blatant attempt to influence the outcome at the polls, and should neither be allowed, condoned or tolerated.
Since the debates began in 2007, in preparation for the 2008 presidential election, the media has routinely failed to give 2008 presidential candidate & Texas Congressman (R)Ron Paul, either equal time as afforded all others, or in most cases, censored him via preclusion; and to such extent, that as a result, many Americans would never know of him. This is a blatant attempt to influence the outcome at the polls, and should neither be allowed, condoned or tolerated.
We, the undersigned, do hereby demand, that the censorship of 2008 presidential candidate & Texas Congressman (R)Ron Paul, cease immediately; and that not only should said not be excluded as if said were nonexistent, but that the party in question, also be given equal time as the remaining candidates. It is blatantly obvious to the undersigned American people that the media, has used its First Amendment right to free speech, to also freely use its influence to affect the outcome at the polls, and such tactics, present and future, will not be tolerated. We the undersigned, have also, a reasonable right to believe that correspondences have been made by Americans to this effect, and that the request made therein, relative to such censoring of said candidate, have been unmet; as evidence by continued network censoring of the candidate Congressman Ron Paul; As a result, and until such time as the media alters its behavior, and in sufficient time for damage done to be circumvented by said congressman, we the undersigned will begin boycotting your advertisers.

Each culture imposes constraints on what people are able to think. It seems that American culture celebrates force instead of persuasion, dependency on Government instead of individual initiative and self-reliance, and makes the assumption that America owns the world, so that anything and everything we do is OKAY. Example, it's not OK for China to interfere in the affairs of Tibet, to send in troops or to repress local points of view that oppose Chinese views, but it's OK for America to invade Iraq and threaten Iran and any other country that disagrees with us. When one person, Ron Paul, expresses a different perspective the media repress that perspective. When one person advocates changing our behavior so that we lead by example instead of by force, the media ignores him, sneers, and laughs. Yet, without change of the kind Ron Paul advocates our country is on a path to self-destruction. It's important that we listen. Then, if we choose not to change, at least we will have made an informed decision to commit national suicide.

This arouses shame, that our best and brightest actually cannot think outside of corporate state constraints. It arouses frustration because, based on voting patterns for Ron Paul, perhaps as many as 15% of Americans actually are prepared to take responsibility for themselves and their families and their communities, and to solve the challenges we face, while 85% expect Government to do take care of them and, as far as caring for others, to do their caring for them. This self-reliant 15% can be much more effective if Government will get out of their way. It arouses embarrassment because foreigners see us for the bullies we have become rather than the informed world citizens we think we are.

Even if you don't support Ron Paul he ought to be given the same chance since it was particularly brought in by his biggest supporters that the men and women in the armed forces whose lives are on line.

It's hard to to be concerned with what the what the media wants it just makes a person to choose to act in a particular way. People were told things that were wrong from right and given the knowledge and given the knowledge and strength that you can or can not get from the the U.S. alone.

The Main Stream Media does not fairly distribute news. It distributes propaganda with the intent of forming consensis on confabulated illusions or distorted perspectives. This is not acceptable for any purported "news" organization.

I have long since learned to discard anything presented as being at best misleading -- if not outright fraudulent, with the intent to direct the listener to come to believe patently false "realities". News reporting has little content of value, and is articulated deception, overwhelmingly.

# 100:

The action taken by the major media has both stimied and prevented those who back Ron Paul from being heard in a fair and just manner. I feel that those of us who strongly desire to see his policies put into force within the U.S., have been cheated. I feel he would have prevented further cost, due to the war, and would have had far better solutions to the current financial crisis this country is in, than any other candidate from either party. The other candidates make me feel that my personal liberties are in dire jeapardy.

The media's action makes me feel that the people of the U.S. have no voice at all, when it comes to what is considered to be news. They have willfully influenced the people toward their chosen candidates, by their consistent downplay and outright censorship of any good news about Ron Paul's policies, and attempted to prevent any fair election.

# 99:

The reality is that the news affects people's opinions, so in the interest of the representative process and therefore the United States as a whole, the corporate media's influence on elections must be minimized.

Honestly its not the media's actions that disturb me as much as the public's willingness to believe what they are told. I long for a return to intellectualism.

Ron Paul has brought into the light the true meaning of liberty and the importance of following the Constitution this country used to be adored for. The only president the future of this country can afford.

Disgust, as well as with the sheeple that do not understand the importance of true liberty.

The election process that has taken place in this country has been entirely media driven. Since I live in a state where McCain won the "primaries" and yet I know of nobody personally, even though I have a huge network of friends, co-workers and associates, who actually supported him, I wonder how on earth this could have happened. During the entire process, the one individual who truly stands for what most Americans believe in was censored out of the media, by either not showing him at all, or injecting their personal ill-informed opinions about him on a daily basis. The election process, driven by the media, has truly been a farce.

The media is clearly part of the corpocracy that has become this country. Media should report facts. They should not be inbed in Iraq and reporters should not snidely be giving their opinions about potential candidates, as most Americans are clearly too lazy or too unintelligent to make up their own minds - especially when the facts are not presented.

A signature is the least I can do. I have worked, donated and volunteered many, many hours and am thankful for every one. This is just one more way to help.

I am no longer concerned with the media's motives. The truth has been told. Millions now know what they didn't before. Information and knowledge is power and strength that even money cannot buy or take away.

This encroaches. This steps across the lines of what is important to honesty, integrity, and the American who is able to remain properly informed.

The main stream media has driven me to shut of my television service almost one year ago and I've not regretted it.

This issue is important to me,I want to be informed with both sides of all isssues. I want to be able to make decisions based on informed consent not one sided media biases.

I became aware of the biased and non-reporting of issues during the election process of the last year. I was shocked at the amount of non-reporting. One area of contention for me was the debates being run by media personalities. It was blatenly obvious more then one candidate was ignored and marginalized!! When did the media acquire the power to affect the out come of our elections!!?? More importantly what a catch 22 for the public, first we want fair and unbalanced reporting yet the very people we go to fix this travesty are the very ones ignoring and marginalizing U.S. citizens only because they protest the media. WHERE IS THE CHECKS AND BALANCES FOR THE NEWSMEDIA. WE ARE NOT PROTECTED PLUS IF WE WANT TO HAVE OUR OWN MEDIA IT IS PRICED OUT OF THE REALM OF REALITY FOR THE AVERAGE CITIZEN!!!

Because these days, the average American votes for whomever the media tells them to.

It's quite obvious that the media is scared of Ron Paul. And why wouldn't they be? They are unable to control him and there is no financial benefit for them mentioning his name.

# 84:

Ron Paul is a true patriot, and oddly enough most of his views fall among mainstream Republican party platform, but his views on economy and the war, for some retarded reason those 2 issues have made him a lunatic or kook to them, and McCain the warmongering idiot into the next republican presidential nominee, why?, in some reviews just dealing with Paul and McCain, during the run til now Ron Paul's name was mentioned on Mainstream Media outlets, 4,000 some odd times, to McCain's 45,000 times, censorship? forced direction? why is it that 70% of the country have still to this day only heard of Ron Paul as the crazy guy from Texas?

I am sickened by the media, there is no real news anymore, the hunt for the most shocking sex scandal or horrible car crash or how some over paid sexlet singer is doing has become the topics of MSM, molded views of war and politics, and plain refusal to cover the real important topics, has made this country dumb and blind to the reality of the government and the world, I hold in my hand 2 pills, a red on and a blue one, which will you take?

My rights, and the rights of every American, to be represented by whom we choose are at the mercy of the media. This is not what this country is about -- control of the masses by special interests. It is counter to everything this country is founded on.

It makes me angry and resentful. "Freedom of the press" has turned into "Control BY the press".

The U.S. is turning into a third world country, when all canidates for president cannot get exposed the the people to let them know there is an alternative to the two parties that are dragging this country down, the day will come when they will be asked why they helped turn this country into a third world cesspool and they will be held to a higher standard.

It seams to me when ever they are censured they scream to high heaven about there rights but when they do it for there own selfish reasons nearly a peep is heard.

Our founding fathers realized the government needed to be kept in check, and one of the ways of do so is to have a free and fair press to keep the people fully informed. The mainstream media has shirked this responsibility and become a blowhorn for the government instead.

I am disappointed and angered the major issues facing this country are being swept under the rug: the war, the economy (those two are intertwined) are most importantly, the destruction of our civil liberties!

American citizens have organized by the hundreds of thousands nationwide and are actively working to compel the Federal Government to defend and uphold the U.S. Constitution and return to operating within its limits. Since American citizens are performing this civic duty, it is just plain wrong for a few rich, powerful media moguls to be legally permitted to create an uneven political playing field in the media and circumvent what is truly in the best interests of the majority of the American citizens in the working class--the backbone of this country.

I am outraged that a few rich, powerful medial moguls have chosen to use their monopoly-like control over the mainstream media to prejudice voters against political candidates who could turn this country around if elected and given a fair chance. Instead, they have chosen to work hand in hand with corrupt politicians who will undoubtedly lead this country farther down the path toward destruction. If they do not change course, they will be as much to blame for our destruction as the people behind the scenes who planned and executed the policies leading to our demise.

Even if you don't support Dr. Paul, he should still be given an equal chance especially since his biggest supporters are the men and women in the armed forces, whose lives are on the line.

It's a shame that so many Americans trust the big media for their news. They skew the facts of what's really going on to the point that we don't even know the world we live in.

The citizens of the various states should FORCE their state lawmakers to hold corporate criminals accountable by law for this [and other] kinds of corruption. Yes, it is way past time to make corporate executives PERSONALLY CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE for the actions of their respective corporations. This CAN be done; this MUST be done. SEE: http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/03/31/business/fraud.php - AND: http://www.thecorporation.com/

Present-day Corporate media is rapidly becoming a sideshow; only the idiocracy relies on it. Keep this in mind, MANY of your fellow citizens are not innately stupid, but they have been extremely dumbed-down by the two great mis-educators - "free" public education and "free" broadcast media. They CAN and MUST be brought around but it will require us ALL to work at it unceasingly. If the internet remains free, the present scumbag media will be completely supplanted by a combination of the arising RESPONSIBLE corporate media and citizen-run free media.

The blatant exclusion of Dr. Ron Paul is nothing more or less then vote fraud. Thousands if not millions of Americans were denied the opportunity to vote for a man of principles. How many Americans would have voted for a true conservative republican had they heard his message.

Vote fraud is illegal and the punishments are severe. Not only should the media moguls be held accountable but the FEC should do everything in it's power to ensure this is not allowed to continue in future elections. The FEC needs to send a message to those who are manipulating the votes of American citizens. The future of our country depends on upholding justice and true democracy.

Ron Paul is the only candidate not lying. The only Candidate who respects the Constitution. The only candidate who cares about the middle and lower classes of the USA. He is the USA's only hope!

The media is controlled by the Elite. Eventually..the people will realize how controlled they are and they will revolt!

This issue is extremely important because it completely contradictory to having a free and open election. This type of media selection chooses the candidates they want and prevents the public from having free elections. It is a treasonous act and those that take part, from the top to the bottom, should be prosecuted under the laws and punishment of treason.

The media fills me with disgust and disdain. If you want to know why our country has fallen so far down the into the pit of morality you need look no further than the media. Their constant "spinning" of the truth to the Nth degree and their incessant pandering to the government agenda is obvious yet sickening. I do not know how they sleep at night.

Ron Paul's message MUST BE HEARD. It is a message of salvation -- the salvation of our Republic. Replay the Republican debates. Much of what RP said we are actually dealing with today! He said our economy would tank because of government's endless spending; that the Iraq situation was not getting better notwithstanding what we were being told. He mentioned the devaluation of the dollar because of the Fed's fiat money -- printing money out of thin air. He, more than any other candidate, understands the intricacies of economics. He can talk to Bernanke on Bernanke's level. Bernanke gets uneasy when he faces Ron Paul at the Housing Banking & Finance meetings. He foresees the end of the "middle class" if things continue as they are going (wild inflation). He stated that all empires come to an end once the currency ceases to be of value. I would think the media would be hanging on his every word at this point. He tell it like it is. And that takes courage if you are a politician. He does so because he truly cares about this nation.

Total OUTRAGE and ANGER. The MSM and those in power better get the message that something will come of all this. People are angry and fed up with government corruption and the msm's "controlling" the news. Things are starting to boil under the surface.

The media is owned by big corporations who knowingly filter what the American people see, hear, and read. This needs to end!! There should be no bias in media!! It isn't just about Ron Paul - it is about everything.

It angers me and insults my intelligence that, in watching corporate-owned media, everything is filtered and summed up to lead me to a conclusion that I did not and most likely would not come to on my own had I been given all the information necessary to render an educated opinion. People need to know that there is another Republican still in the race!!!

Ron Paul is a man with a message that deserves to be heard. You may not agree with every aspect of what he stands for, but more than any candidate for dozens of years, he has a verifiable record of protecting the rights and freedoms of the average American citizen.

Conviction...I believe that he is being censored because the CFR is scared to death that we will actually listen and learn from him. Dr. Paul has cured my apathy.

"All that is necessary for EVIL to flourish is for good men to do nothing"- I stand convicted. Stopped voting at Ron Reagon. Now it's time for all patriots to rise up and throuigh off the shackles of the JEW bankers and their unconstitutional debt based money system.
