H.R.1207 Federal Reserve Transparency Act

[galtgulch]

Here is your opportunity to exercise your rights as a citizen who has a right to representation in your government.

If you are at all troubled that there exists a Constitutionally unauthorized central bank, the Federal Reserve System, over which there is no Congressional oversight, which does not have to answer questions asked of it, here is an opportunity to do something about it yourself.

A bill stands before the Congress, H.R. 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act, which has at present 33 co-sponsors.

Here is the Congressional Switchboard number (202) 224 3121

Ask to speak to your Congressman or to leave a message for him or her.

Simply ask for support of this bill to audit the Fed

Ask to add his or her name to the list of cosponsors.

Tell him or her that you are one of his or her constituents and will be watching to see how he or she votes on this bill.

Here is your opportunity.

Guess who submitted the bill in the first place!

In addition to a phone call, a separate e-mail and with a Congressman an actual snail mail. Using all three maximizes the impact, if there is going to be one significantly.

Of course, I would be courteous, avoid any edge or conspiracy type words, just that a neighbor of yours had mentioned this bill while we were talking about transparency in government.

Adam,

I appreciate your good advice but I already called my representative and encouraged him to co sponsor the bill and told him I would be watching to see where he stands.

I did send him emails at the time of the bailouts and received a form letter thanking me for my concerns but that he had to do what he thought best for his constituents. So he voted for the bailouts twice. I had admonished him that the result would not be in the interests of his constituents because of the massive inflation the bailouts are more than likely to cause. Bernanke has said he will print up as much money as necessary to cure the recession!

I understand because you live in "Kerensky's" Congressional District! He is a socialist. It really does not matter sending things in triplicate to his office.

Massachusetts Congressman Mr. McGovern:

87% rating ACLU

100% rating by NACCP and

100% by the ADA

My friend Gulch -

We are unfortunately being governed by statists who seem to be ignorant of economics, and to have as their highest concern having good sound bytes on TV.

They seem to unable to understand the danger to freedom and the economy from their statist policies, and unwilling to understand the danger to the republic from external threats (terrorism, re-ascendant hostile nations, etc...).

They've been 'Bambi'ed, and consider all other humans much like they now consider wildlife...

Bill P.,

Perhaps those who elected them, meaning statists, are beginning to realize the error of their ways. Politics has been called the art of persuasion. I think we are going to see hidden premises revealed in political debate to the extent that candidates who understand Objectivism and Austrian economics enter the fray, thanks to the existence of the Campaign For Liberty, despite its flaws.

Now that Obama is in power and his intentions and lies are becoming evident the electorate may have second thoughts although many remain enamored by his superficially innocuous manner. Truly a wolf in sheep's clothing. I agree that the politicians are mostly ignorant in the realm of economics, etc.

... the electorate may have second thoughts ...

Assuming that the word "thought" has an objective definition, if this is to be their second, what was their first thought?

[Chris Grieb]

I wanted to add the suggestion that when you try and contact don't use the Capitol switchboard. Find the number of the Congressperson or Senator. Almost all of them have websites and the number can be found there.

[Selene]

Chris:

Yep. I should have mentioned the websites - usually at the bottom of the page in light grey are contact the "secluded" contact numbers.

Nice pick up.
