Ron Paul's bill to audit Federal Reserve

YouTube - Ron Paul's HR 1207 Update 4/27

This man is incredible. I knew this election was about obama vs mccain but I really feel it was a segway to the re-entrance of a strong and prominent third party...and I hope this man leads it.

That is bold...I give him that...But, its not going to happen...

It will not happen because there are too many people in power that do not agree/would allow it to happen, not because the faith isn't there...

Same could be said for Kamy's example.

Unfortunately, I must agree with Greives. It would be amazing if we could acheive some transparency with the Fed, but the fact of the matter is, the Fed is the most powerful organization in this country. It has the singular authority to create and distribute new money into the economy. The ability to make laws or wage wars doesn't mean shit to someone who can do that. They will find some excuse to block this bill, and they will make it happen.

Ok......so then we try again and again until something breaks. This is called progress.

Time and perseverance destroys all institutions of power, and the Fed is no different.

Read your history, and history around the world, learn why the meaning of the phrase "united we stand", the government has political power, the people have the power of the numbers(the masses)...

People just have to stop fearing the government they created and start giving it orders...

even if the bill isn't succcesful this time around, ron paul and the activists that have been inspired by his message have gotten the Fed's existence as a major institution on the agenda when for a long time it hasn't been questioned. Getting people to talk about things in a new light is the first step.

the second step is dying and passing the responsibility on your kids before the politicians decide that auditing the feds should at least be debated...
