To the Republican National Committee,
WHEREAS, Michigan party chairman Saul Anuzis has announced a petition of Republican National Committee members asking the Republican National Committee to bar Congressman Ron Paul from future debates due to Congressman Pauls comments in the second Republican presidential debate that Mr. Anuzis characterizes as "off the wall and out of whack";
WHEREAS, the terrorist motivation comments made by Congressman Paul are, at minimum, supported by the following:
The 911 Commission Report: During the 9/11 Commission hearings, Vice Chair Lee Hamilton asked, "What motivated them to do it?" FBI Special Agent James Fitzgerald answered, "I believe they feel a sense of outrage against the United States. They identify with the Palestinian problem, they identify with people who oppose repressive regimes, and I believe they tend to focus their anger on the United States." 9/11 Commission testimony June 16, 2004
One of the countless expert CIA statements: Former CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Michael Scheuer has bluntly stated, "The politicians really are at great fault for not squaring with the American people. We're being attacked for what we do in the Islamic world, not for who we are or what we believe in or how we live." Lou Dobbs CNN
Osama Bin Laden statement: In response to President George W. Bushs statement in an Address to a Joint Session of Congress and to the American People, "They hate ... a democratically elected government. ... They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other,
Bin Laden in a video response stated, "The White House (is) hiding the truth ... the reality is that we are striking them because of their evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World, especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries (Arabian Peninsula)."
WHEREAS, Congressman Pauls statements concerning the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education spoke to Congressman Pauls position of reforming and streamlining both organizations to make them more efficient while lessening the expense burden on the U.S. taxpayer a true conservative Republican position;
WHEREAS, Congressman Paul represents traditional, conservative republican values more so than any Republican candidate;
WHEREAS, the Republican party is losing membership to other parties due to the abandonment of the traditional, conservative republican platform;
WHEREAS, registered Republican voters and American citizens desire to hear Congressman Pauls message on these issues and others in his bid for president;
BE IT DECLARED, that the undersigned request the Republican National Committee to support fair election procedures, as well as the views and desires of its members and American citizens, by allowing Congressman Ron Paul full participation in all future debates and election events as a Republican National Committee candidate.

- You see Ron Paul as a threat. Because you can't confront the actual issues, you seek to silence him. Thats very telling of your character.
