FYI - Auditing the Federal Reserve and shedding some light on our banking system is NOT a Democratic or Republican, left or right, issue.  It is an AMERICAN issue!

“WE WILL BE LIVING IN THE AGE OF RON PAUL FOR MANY YEARS TO COME”

Many have enjoyed and shared Juan Williams excellent column today at The Hillabout Ron Paul’s influence and legacy. Two highlights from Williams about how Dr. Paul has changed the debate:

But Paul is a persistent politician.

Before the House adjourned for the August recess, Paul won a vote to have an audit of the Federal Reserve.

(T)hat was a revolutionary act against Wall Street, the nation’s banking establishment and the Washington politicians they bankroll.

Every House Republican, except for one, voted for the bill. Eighty-nine Democrats broke with their party’s leadership and voted for it.

Paul has long argued that the Federal Reserve’s role in monetary policy is at the heart of the nation’s economic problems.

He made this a central part of his presidential campaign in 2008, and in 2012. He even authored a book called “End the Fed” in 2009…

Just as he took on the powers at the Federal Reserve, Paul has taken on the powerful and the rich who support unquestioned spending on the military budget.

Cutting the Pentagon’s budget was once dismissed as a lunacy by the political establishment, and especially Republicans. But it has become an increasingly popular position in Congress during Paul’s tenure.

A July survey from the Center for Public Integrity revealed that 80 percent of voters in congressional districts represented by Democrats favor lowering defense spending.

And in a tribute to the power of Ron Paul, 74 percent of voters in districts with Republican representatives now also say they want to lower the defense budget.

Paul’s colleagues in the House are reflecting this new attitude about defense spending. In a surprise move, the GOP-controlled House passed a defense appropriations bill in July that contained an amendment to reduce the military budget by $1.1 billion.

The amendment passed by a substantial majority, 247-167. Eighty-nine Republicans joined 158 Democrats voting in favor of it.

One of the amendment’s authors, Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), even credits Paul with helping to shift the debate so that the amendment could be passed.

As he leaves the political scene, there is no doubt that cranky Ron Paul has made his mark on American politics.

We will be living in the age of Ron Paul for many years to come.

Indeed, we will Mr. Williams. How significantly Ron Paul has changed the debate on just issues like the Fed and Pentagon spending is really something to behold. But these two issues are only the beginning.

The rEVOLution Ron Paul started has only begun.

Kucinich Cheers Passage of Bill toAudit the Federal Reserve.

FYI - The Kucinich/Paul Audit The Fed Bill Passes The House!

-ADY "A Regular Guy On The Issues"

Kucinich Cheers Passage of Bill toAudit the Federal Reserve Washington D.C. (July 25, 2012) -- Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), cosponsor of H.R. 459, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, today congratulated the bill’s author, Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have worked together to support the legislation. Kucinich has supported efforts to the audit the Federal Reserve for years and gained a partial audit in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform legislation. In recent days, Kucinich has spoken in video statements and repeatedly on the House Floor. He rallied support for the bill in a letter to colleagues and in a letter to Democrats calling the bill a “crossroads for the party.” “Today is a milestone for those of us who have worked for years to demand transparency and accountability at the Federal Reserve. Despite mismanagement and secrecy which has benefited the world’s largest banks at the expense of the people, today the House of Representatives finally called for a thorough accounting of the Fed. “We now move our energies to focus on passage in the Senate, where some have said the bill faces an uphill climb. To those folks, I say that we are on the side of history and we have the American people on our side.  Years ago, there were those who said that this bill would never pass. Today 327 Members of Congress showed that the American people stand for transparency and accountability. As more and more Americans learn about the Fed’s shadowy actions, the Senate will find it impossible to stand in the way of the demands of the American people. “Transparency and accountability are coming to the Federal Reserve. After today’s vote, it’s only a matter of time,” said Kucinich

Two Paul's Now In Congress! - Father & Son Plan New Bill!

With Dr. Ron Paul, MD in the House, and his son, Dr. Rand Paul, MD coming into the Senate, they plan on reintroducing new "Audit The Fed" legislation.

RLC: Freshmen Republicans Honor Rep. Ron Paul for Best Bill of 111th Congress

Freshmen Republicans Honor Rep. Ron Paul for Best Bill of 111th Congress
2010-07-05





Led by U.S. Representative Steve Austria (R-OH), the House Republican Freshman Class of the 111th Congress unanimously voted Congressman Ron Paul’s (R-Lake Jackson) legislation, H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, as the “best legislation filed” during the 111th Congress.

Austria presented Paul with a certificate of appreciation from freshman Members of Congress for his efforts to bring about greater accountability and transparency in public institutions, as well as to thank him for his “many years of service and dedication to the cause of liberty and the promotion of free market principles.”

“As new members, we understand that the American people are not happy with the ‘closed door, backroom deal-making’ approach to government that has come to characterize Washington in recent years,” the freshmen Republicans said in a letter to Paul. “Passage of your legislation would begin to move our government back into the sunlight where it belongs.”

Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) made the motion to nominate Paul’s legislation. He said Paul has long been committed to furthering transparency in government.

“Transparency is an important building block of our public institutions,” Posey said. “Rep. Paul’s legislation, combined with his efforts over his many years of service, has made a positive contribution toward maintaining the freedoms which the Founders of our nation intended us all to have.”

Also called the “Audit the Fed” bill, Paul’s legislation failed by a vote of 229-198 despite being co-sponsored by 320 Members of Congress. All House Republicans and 23 Democrats voted in favor of the bill.

The bill was supported by other area congressmen, including Michael McCaul (R-Austin), Pete Olson (R-Sugar Land) and John Culberson (R-Houston).

Paul’s 14th Congressional District includes portions of western Fort Bend County and much of Cinco Ranch.

A MUST READ - Campaign For Liberty/Dr. Ron Paul on Conservatism, American Freedom and the current Financial Reform Legislation.

Dear Friends of Liberty,

Last night, C4L officially kicked off our Iowa Regional Conference at the spectacular Embassy Suites in downtown Des Moines. Hundreds of enthusiastic fellow patriots, from families to college students, turned out to hear Congressman Ron Paul and Jan Mickelson, Iowa’s top radio talk show host.

Unfortunately, Dr. Paul’s flight had been delayed leaving Washington, D.C., so attendees of the Freedom Celebration received a special treat when Tom Woods addressed the crowd. Tom gave the crowd a brief peak at what we can all expect from his new book, Nullification, set to release on June 29, while waiting for Dr. Paul to arrive from the airport.

When Congressman Paul took the stage, the crowd rose to their feet for a rousing standing ovation, and they listened intently as Dr. Paul delivered a powerful speech on the new great awakening for freedom going on in America. C4L is assisting him in sending a message to the political establishment – we’re going to change America!



As I write this, Conference attendees are participating in our top-notch grassroots training, before having lunch with special guest Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Committee.

After lunch, we will kick off the second half of our Conference with our Forum on the Future of Conservatism in America. This nearly seven hour event will feature such renowned speakers as Tom Woods, Bob Murphy, Bruce Fein, Dan McCarthy (Senior Editor of The American Conservative), Doug Bandow, Kirk Shelly, and Donna Holt, Executive Director of Virginia Campaign for Liberty.

What an exciting Conference this will be as we lay out a roadmap for the future of conservatism in America in our nation’s heartland!

I am truly excited for all that we have accomplished so far in this movement, and with your help, we will have continued success in the future.

As Dr. Paul so often says, “There’s a revolution going on!” We’re glad you could be a part of it!


In Liberty,
John Tate

President, C4L

Full Fed Audit Amendment Voted Down in Senate

Washington, D.C., May 11, 2010 - Today, the U.S. Senate voted 62 to 37 against an amendment to allow greater transparency at the Federal Reserve.

This amendment was introduced to counter a weaker amendment that would have required only a one time audit just of Fed emergency programs. The new amendment was similar to the original H.R. 1207 audit bill introduced by Congressman Ron Paul and added to the House financial reform package.

"The Sanders Amendment is no substitute for a complete and thorough audit of the Fed," said John Tate, President of Campaign for Liberty. "With this vote, we now have a record of those who really want transparency and those who only pay lip-service to it while upholding the status quo."

If the entire financial regulation bill makes it out of the Senate, it heads to the House, where House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank will choose which version to move forward on.

“The Dodd bill itself is just another bad piece of legislation, which will benefit no one except the Fed and its friends at big banks,” said Tate. “It institutionalizes bailouts for banks and subsidizes risky financial decisions.”

"Despite what happens with the financial regulation bill, we will continue pushing Congress for an up or down vote on H.R. 1207, which is the only full audit to allow true transparency in our financial system.”
