Yes, I know my conservative side is showing. If the Federal Reserve is on the up and up, they should have no problem with this, right?
“Audit the Fed” petition to Congress
From: Campaign For Liberty:
Right now, you and I are seeing the worst plundering of a nation’s wealth in the history of civilization – all led by the out of control Federal Reserve. If you and I don’t act today, I’m afraid this crisis will end with the economic ruin of every man, woman and child in the United States.
Just think about the scope of the problem for a minute: The Fed pumps trillions of dollars in fiat currency into a system already overloaded by the massive amount of dollars committed to the economic bailouts in recent months.
This TOTALS:
- More than the socialist New Deal…
- More than the entire Iraq debacle…
- More than the 1980’s savings and loan mess…
- More than the Korean War…
COMBINED.
Where will it all end?
It’s time you and I put a stop to an out of control Federal Reserve. And Ron Paul has a bill before Congress to do just that. That’s why it’s vital you fill out your personal “Audit the Fed” petition in support of Congressman Paul’s bill. Today, $9.7 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars in bailouts and loans have been agreed to by Congress, the Bush and Obama Treasury Departments, and the Federal Reserve. Poll after poll shows the American people are fed up and are ready for fresh leadership to make their voices heard in Washington.
As I know you’re aware, the Federal Reserve’s inner-workings are shrouded in secrecy, and their meetings are off-limits to the public. Just recently, the Federal Reserve told Congress “NO WAY” when asked to account for TWO TRILLION DOLLARS in taxpayer-backed loans!
Well, why do you think they refused? They know coming clean with Congress and the American people on how they doled out those two TRILLION dollars would result in an anti-Fed firestorm. So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit?
Since very few politicians understand the Federal Reserve System, they do not understand the threat this bill poses to the borrow-and-spend system they continually vote for. And even if Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill is defeated, just forcing a vote is a win/win situation. Can you imagine how many politicians will pay the price at the ballot box in 2010 when you and I tell the American people their Congressman somehow lost trillions of taxpayer dollars and voted against even looking for the money?
The CIA connection (bush I & II/cheny) has resulted in more loss of American freedom than any event(s) since the McCarthy era. Obama is all about change: change in how we lose our freedom: loss of economic independence and greater big government is the ultimate trump card for the loss of all American freedom.
Can your children crawl out from under this oppression? Can America survive without a diversified economy (manufacturing [autos], agriculture, and finance]? It seems the big effort is to save the corrupt and irresponsible finance industry.
Ron Paul is the only candidate to run for president that advocates underlying Constitutional principles for how America should act. The current president [constitutional law expert] seems to have no clue.
Ask for the audit, ask for responsibility, ask for improvement!
Neither the Republicans nor Democrats have done a thing about big government or about a different kind of solution to our economic woes. If we are asking for responsibility to fall to those who helped cause this problem, I’d like to see more than the Federal Reserve audited. But it’s a start.
Accountability and review is important for any business. Government is a business that has a responsibility to its citizens. Although there are some valid reasons for a certain level of secrecy, this has been grossly abused in the past administration. I am all about becoming accountable to clients and citizens.

I agree, there has been no accountability for the Fed or our government for far too long. People in positions of power become greedy and corrupt far too often.
I sometimes think the govt has us over a barrel… they take more, spend more, need more, and take more. And we pay, and pay, and pay, and pay. But have you noticed none of our politicians have cut back on their yearly pay increases? Their pension plans? Their discretionary spending? Their transportation?
Have you noticed they all campaign for our benefit? Yet govern with our money? (Increasing amounts of it?)
Have you noticed even the protesters of pork are feeding on pork?
Yes, the Federal Reserve has avoided scrutiny for many many years — but it’s much more than that.
Where’s the tea?

I agree with everything you say Barb. I hope people get smarter and start voting some of these politicians out. But right now, I’m just hoping a lot of people sign this petition. It doesn’t do anything about government waste but it might rein the Federal Reserve in some.
Just read “The Creature from Jekyll Island” That will tell you all you ever want to know about the Federal Reserve!

I must not get started on this subject,,,,,,,,,,,
Yep Jane, I know all about it and it scares the heck out of me….
Funny how if the roles were reversed and Paul had only gotten the 22% Romney garnered and Paul’s people booed Romney for winning, the est. would have STILL attacked Ron Paul and his supporters, just from another angle. Actually, I take that back. They would have wound a way to ignore his total altogether by not reporting the remaining totals. The est. is SCARED! They have been squirming now for 2 years trying to figure out how to neutralize this REAL conservative movement. They will fail.
I hope they are scared! I’m so sick of our government. Ron Paul knows what he’s talking about.
