‘Iowa Values Not for Sale’ Comments on Push Poll Controversy, Releases MormonGate 2008 Web Video
November 28, 2007
Des Moines – Today Iowa Values Not for Sale released a statement regarding the push poll controversy and the use of Romney paid staffers as sources for the information in story and a new webvideo.
Statement from Iowa Values Not for Sale member Larry Boeckmann:
“We are disappointed with the dishonesty shown by the Romney campaign on important issues and now on his campaign’s involvement with the push poll controversy. There is significant evidence that points to Mitt Romney’s consultants being directly involved in the scandal. Regardless, they have now admitted that they did not disclose that the sources for their story were paid Romney employees. Mitt Romney owes the voters of Iowa an apology and is going to learn very soon that Iowa Values are Not for Sale.”
Evidence gathered by several media outlets has subsequently shown a number of additional links between the Romney campaign, its consultants, and Western Wats.
Iowa Values Not for Sale is an internet based organization of Iowa voters who were offended by Mitt Romney’s efforts to buy supporters with direct payments in the leadup to the straw poll.
The group also released a new web video entitled “MormonGate 2008”.

Did Mitt Romney Push Poll Himself?
Did Mitt Romney Push Poll Himself?
A web of connections.
By Mark Hemingway
update: The Romney campaign responds to this piece here. TargetPoint Consulting responds here.
News broke Thursday that voters in New Hampshire and Iowa had received phone calls from pollsters raising questions about aspects of Republican Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith. Who made the calls? Although the Romney campaign denies involvement, evidence points in its general direction. The anti-Mormon calls are part of a highly unethical but not uncommon political campaign tactic known as push polling.
Not surprisingly, the former governor of Massachusetts denounced the calls in no uncertain terms Friday. “I think the attempts to attack me on the basis of my faith are un-American,” Romney said in a video sent out by his campaign. “This is a time when we’re preparing for Thanksgiving, a time when we’re going to celebrate the fact that this nation was founded in part to allow people to enjoy religious freedom. We celebrate the diversity of different thoughts and beliefs and the idea that people would attack religion at a time like this is frankly un-American.”
“Un-American” in the Campaign Family?
Shortly after reports of Romney being targeted in a push poll emerged, the firm making the calls was identified as Western Wats, which is based in Utah and has a number of Romney campaign contributors on the payroll. Western Wats was founded by Ron Lindorf who has ties to the business school at the Mormon-owned Brigham Young University, Romney’s alma mater (Lindorf has since divested himself from the company). Lindorf’s brother Paul and his wife Teena are avid supporters of Romney (Paul is a former employee of Western Wats who retired five years ago; Paul and Teena claim not to know Romney or have a vested interest in his campaign).
Evidence collected from Internet bulletin boards dedicated to tracking telemarketers and nuisance phone calls suggests that Western Wats may be tied directly to the Romney campaign.
This is how Whocalled.us describes its mission:
The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number, All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE". Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want.
Site users can post information about the calls they have received and who they came from, creating a searchable reference for others.
On Whocalled.us there are 16 reports of people receiving unwanted calls from Western Wats using the phone number (801) 623-4621 going back to October of last year. Dial that number and you will be connected to Western Wats.
On another website, Whocallsme.com, “a user supplied database of phone numbers of telemarketers, non-profit organizations, charities, political surveyors, SCAM artists, and other companies that don't leave messages, disconnect once you answer, ignore the Do-Not-Call List regulations, and simply interrupt your day,” has a page tracking unwanted calls from the number above.
According to Whocallsme.com, on August 16 — almost exactly three months before the anti-Romney calls were made in Iowa and New Hampshire, a user named Bruce reported:
Call from Amanda at Target Point Consulting

info@targetpointconsulting.com
Caller ID: (801) 623-4621 [Emphasis Added]
Caller: Target Point Consulting
A Western Wats-Target Point connection sets off alarm bells since the Romney campaign has paid Target Point consulting $720,000 (see here and here).

Romney Tries To Buy Iowa Votes
The liberal media views Romney’s victory in Iowa as inevitable because Mitt Romney spent millions of dollars on television in Iowa, vastly more than any other candidate. Unfortunately, the liberal media is probably right.
But, it is about to get much worse.
Mitt Romney is actually paying some of our conservative friends to support him in the straw poll and to convince us to support Romney despite his liberal record as Governor of Massachusetts.
Romney is paying ‘Get Out the Vote’ consultants to try convince us that he is a real conservative.
These consultants have been paid anywhere from $500 to $10,000 per month to talk to us.
Some of these ‘consultants’ are friends of ours. It is hard to blame them for accepting the money. However, just because he is paying our friends does not mean that our votes are for sale.
It is time to stand up and say plainly, Iowa Values are Not for Sale.
Please watch this short video to learn more about how Mitt Romney is trying to buy Iowa Values.
Please click here to sign the “Iowa Values, Not for Sale” petition.
It just isn’t right. Mitt Romney isn’t a conservative. He is a liberal from Massachusetts who ran as pro-choice, pro-gay rights, anti-gun, pro-tax, liberal that distanced himself from Ronald Reagan.
Simply put, Iowan Values are Not for Sale.
The individuals listed below have received the dollar amounts indicated from the Romney for President Campaign for ‘consulting’.

Prior to coming to Iowa Mitt Romney was Governor of Massachusetts. This is what he had to say, in his own words, to Massachusetts voters when he was running for office in Massachusetts:
Romney opposed the administration of Reagan/Bush in 1992
“I don’t want to return to the days of Reagan/Bush. I was an independent in the time of Reagan Bush!”
http://youtube.com/watch?v=a9IJUkYUbvI&mode=related&search=
Romney supported abortion rights in 2002:

Please join conservatives across Iowa in signing the “Iowa Values, Not for Sale” petition by clicking here.
Please make sure to indicate your full name, city, and telephone number so that we may get in touch with you about how to stop a liberal from Massachusetts from purchasing our conservative values.

We Iowans are smarter than that.
Please click here to sign the “Iowa Values, Not for Sale” petition of grassroots conservatives.
Thank you for standing up for Iowan Values.
