Good News: Update on Audit the Federal Reserve

May 5, 2009

Dear Friend of Liberty,

With each passing day, Ron Paul is winning people over to the cause of Federal Reserve transparency and sound money.More and more Congressmen have been signing onto Dr. Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, HR 1207, and it is now up to a whopping 124 cosponsors. That cosponsor list now includes over half of the House Republican Caucus. Dr. Paul is truly leading the GOP back to its roots of sound money and fiscal conservatism.In fact, The Washington Independent’s David Weigel just wrote an important article about how Ron Paul’s message is resonating with Republican lawmakers. All I can say is, "It's about time!"
Click here to read the article -- “Ron Paul's Economic Theories Winning GOP Converts”.

And today, Dr. Paul proved the case for Federal Reserve transparency to people across America by grilling Ben Bernanke on national television.

Chairman Ben is running scared now that HR 1207 is gaining steam. He even tried to appease Dr. Paul by offering transparency on everything except monetary policy -- the Fed's sole function!

It is clear we are winning this fight, and I believe that ultimately we will see it through to victory. But this is no time to rest on our laurels.Keep writing and calling your congressman if he has not already cosponsored HR 1207 (click here to find out). Circulate more petitions and Audit the Fed literature to your friends and neighbors to recruit them to this winning effort.

Thank you for all you have done and all you will do. With your continued support, Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty will return the GOP to its conservative roots, and America back to its founding principles.In Liberty,John TatePresident, Campaign for LibertyP.S. Unlike the Fed, Campaign for Liberty cannot print money out of thin air. Only your ongoing financial support allows us to do the work we do. Please click here to donate to Campaign for Liberty.

****bill to audit the Federal Reserve, HR 1207

Roma Writes: Many people think the Federal Reserve is part of the U.S. Government. It is , in fact, privately owned by an unelected body, and many of their actions have not been transparent . And because they have a tremendous power over our monetary system many are now calling for transparency, and the Federal Reserve is resisting. If they have nothing to hide they would welcome an opportunity to put the distrust to rest.

If you support the idea of transparency please click on the link below to sign the petition:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Yesterday, I wrote to inform you of Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve, HR 1207.Yesterday’s response was staggering - and overwhelming. In fact, response was so incredible that the traffic simply overwhelmed our servers.

What that means is many who tried to take action couldn’t.I’m sorry if our server being overwhelmed caused you any problems. We believe we have the issue fixed now and are ready for you to come back today. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SIGNED YESTERDAY, will you please click here right away? We want to make sure EVERY friend of Liberty is on board, and due to the problems yesterday, we are asking everyone to try one more time.

Dear Friend of 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.That means it’s a perfect time to unleash the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION on the out of control Fed!Please complete this petition urging your Congressman to cosponsor and a seek roll-call vote on Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed Bill -- the first step toward ENDING THE FEDERAL RESERVE once and for all!

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?You and I will finally be able to show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:*** Constant economic crises -- the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally-planned interest rates and money manipulation;*** The destruction of the middle class -- as fuel, food, housing, medical care and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money slowly decreases;*** Currency destruction -- history shows us that riots, violence and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize fiat money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.And unless you and I do end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we’d like to think to learning that history lesson first hand -- right here on the streets of our towns and cities.

That’s why your commitment to helping the Campaign for Liberty fight this battle is so vital.Just a few months ago, there was no chance of passing any legislation like Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill.So I guess there has been one “CHANGE.”But with the piling up of trillions of dollars in out of control “bailouts” of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington, D.C. want to show you they’re “being responsible”.What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from the U.S. taxpayers?

There will be many battles you and I must fight over the coming months to take back our country. But this one is set to rage in Congress in just a few short weeks.And, it’s a bill we CAN pass!You see, after regulating, taxing, spending, borrowing and printing us into what looks like the worst recession in decades, establishment politicians and power brokers are assuring us they are working hard to “fix” our economic woes.So they want to do something (anything) to show you they care.That’s why Dr. Paul’s bill is positioned to move forward this year.And 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?Of course, getting a vote won’t be easy, but you know just as well as I do that Ron Paul has proven he’s not afraid of a fight.

Now, we just need to show Congress that the American people demand action on Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill. Here’s how we plan to do that:First, we’re already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones and e-mail to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on the bill.But that’s just the beginning.We’ll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to further turn up the pressure on Congress. And, of course, Ron Paul supporters will own the meet-up groups and social networking sites that first launched our R3volution.And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we’d also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV and newspaper ads.This entire program is designed to send one, CLEAR message to Congress -- Any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve Audit should look for another job.

But such a massive effort won’t be easy -- or cheap.So, along with your petition, I also hope you’ll agree to make a contribution of $250, $100, or $50 to the Campaign for Liberty.I know times are hard, but if we don’t take action, the America we see in just a few years could look much different than the one we see today.So please, fill out your petition and give a generous contribution of $250, $100, or $50 to the Campaign for Liberty IMMEDIATELY.Please don’t just ignore this email.Can I count on you to join the fight to ultimately END THE FED by making a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 -- or whatever you can afford to the Campaign for Liberty?

Sincerely,John F. TatePresident

P.S. Please fill out this petition DEMANDING your Congressman cosponsor and seek a roll-call vote on Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill TODAY!
