Fwd: I've Introduced Audit the Fed


---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Rand Paul <rand.paul@chooseliberty.org>

On Monday, I introduced Audit the Fed (S. 209) in the U.S. Senate to put an end to the Fed's "print-now, ask-questions-later" policies that are bankrupting every man, woman, and child in the United States.

Of course, Ben Bernanke's puppets in Congress are doing everything they can to stop folks like you from blowing the lid off the Federal Reserve.

Don't let them get away with the plundering any longer.

Read the email below from my father about how you can fight back - and be sure to sign your Audit the Fed petition to C4L IMMEDIATELY.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul, MD
U.S. Senator (R-KY)



Dear Mark ,

Our fragile economy is speeding toward a collision with economic ruin.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has jammed his foot down on the gas pedal.

And now statist economists are even discussing hyperinflationary "minting" out of thin air - arguing the Fed should create a trillion-dollar coin to pay our rapidly expanding debt!

Without your action today, I'm afraid members of BOTH parties will continue to just look the other way while the Fed's "print-now, ask-questions-later" policies bankrupt every man, woman, and child in the United States.

That's why I'm counting on you to fill out your Audit the Fed petition to Campaign for Liberty to make YOUR voice heard IMMEDIATELY.

I'll give you the link in just a moment. But first let me explain exactly why this is so important.

I know the Fed banksters believe they've wined and dined and bought off enough politicians to keep up their iron grip on our economy.

But while the Fed may have cash and connections, you and C4L have the numbers. And politics is a numbers game.

Five years ago, few dared talk about sound money or the role of the Federal Reserve.

But now, between 70-80% of Americans believe the Fed should be audited.

And as any politician worth his salt knows, standing in the way of nearly three quarters of the American people when they're activated and mobilized on an issue is like standing in the way of an oncoming freight train.

But none of that matters if good folks like you don't take action.

You see, after Harry Reid recently praised Bernanke - and said he'd have to "talk to" the Fed Chairman before allowing a vote on Audit the Fed - there's no doubt he's in the Fed's back pocket.

And ever since the GOP's 2012 election debacle, House Republican leadership has been in disarray.

Their willingness to allow President Obama to set the agenda on taxes and spending has me worried Audit the Fed will be swept under the rug.

This would be a DISASTER.

With passage of Audit the Fed, the American people will be able to see the evidence proving 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 our money isn't worth the paper it's printed on and REFUSE to accept it.

So won't you please sign your Audit the Fed petition and make a generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty TODAY?



I hope you'll act IMMEDIATELY.

Even after 2012's "QE3" - which was dubbed "QE-infinity" for its never-ending inflationary printing spree - news is the Fed is "considering" another $870 BILLION QE4!

On top of that, powerful players in Washington are DEMANDING the President be handed the unilateral ability to raise the debt ceiling at will!

So the solution to our economic problems is infinite dollar devaluation to pay for infinite spending?

Any sane person can see the answer is "NO!"

Now, countries around the globe - after spending years enabling the statists' lavish boondoggles by buying U.S. debt - are saying "enough is enough" and are preparing to cut the last thread preserving the dollar.

But the banksters and Washington, D.C.'s politically connected corporate cronies couldn't care less.

They're happy so long as their coffers are flush with Fed cash, taxpayer bailouts, and special government "perks" designed to destroy capitalism's name and usher in even more government control over our lives.

But if Campaign for Liberty can turn up the heat on Congress once again, every politician - including Harry Reid - will have a choice to make:

Vote to pass Audit the Fed... or find a new job.

Ultimately, it's their call.

All I know is, I can think of several politicians off the top of my head that I wouldn't mind joining me in retirement!

That's why it's so critical you sign your Audit the Fed petition to Campaign for Liberty TODAY!



Thanks to the support of good folks like you, Campaign for Liberty has a "reputation" in Washington, D.C.

Last year, thanks to their efforts, Audit the Fed passed the House by an overwhelming three-fourths majority.

In fact, C4L has quickly become the big spending, Big Government statists' number-one enemy.

And I think that's a good thing.

Today, I'm asking you to join their efforts by signing your Audit the Fed petition to C4L and - if possible - agreeing to a generous contribution.

With your support, C4L will launch an all-out drive to give the American people a voice in calling for Audit the Fed by:

1) Contacting up to 12 million Americans via hard-hitting mail and email to alert them to the Fed's shady dealings;

2) Running web ads on heavily trafficked websites, working the blogs, and launching a state-of-the-art Facebook campaign to reach and mobilize up to four million more supporters;

3) Work the talk radio lines, write op-eds, and continue to take the fight to the statists' phony intellectual machine, which got us into this economic mess in the first place;

4) In the days before the vote, launch hard-hitting radio, newspaper, and Internet ads calling on Representatives and Senators by name to support Audit the Fed;

5) And finally, if funds permit, C4L will launch an excoriating TV ad campaign - to be unveiled in key states in massive press conferences - ensuring every targeted Senator knows his reelection could ride on his or her Audit the Fed vote.

This is an ambitious plan, I know. But it's what it will take to win.



Sadly, not everyone understands the damage the Fed routinely causes with its inflationary policies.

Some - especially those who leech off government and have wedded themselves to Big Government's big handouts - just won't "get it" until catastrophe hits them in the face.

That's why these times call for true patriots.

I know you understand doing nothing is not an option.

So won't you please agree to sign your Audit the Fed petition to C4L and make your most generous contribution today?

Whatever you can afford will make a tremendous difference - $250, $100, $50, or even $35.

Even if all you can do right now is chip in $10 or $20, every dollar counts.

You have the ability to make a difference.

I've seen it. My former colleagues in Washington, D.C. have seen it, too.

So please sign your Audit the Fed petition to C4L and agree to your most generous contribution TODAY.

For Liberty,



Dr. Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. I'm counting on you to sign your Audit the Fed petition to C4L right away.

With your signed petition and generous support, C4L members and thousands of other Americans can finally EXPOSE the Federal Reserve's corruption and rampant cronyism.

So if you can, please make your most generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, or even $35 TODAY.

Even if all you can do right now is chip in $10 or $20, every dollar counts!

PPS Attendance matters, plus Senior night at pool. H2O = Hail 2 Obama!



Hi Friends,

With all the noise about attendance at PPS in the media, it is good to know of a bright spot. See below as we honor 14, devoted senior swimmers.

Plus at 6 AM swims practice this week we had 20, 17 and 12 each on M, T and W.
FYI, three boys in Summer Dreamers Swim and Waterpolo Camps in past years are on the Varsity Swim Team now. Six more worked as staffers.

One other tidbit on attendance, our biggest trouble point in Summer Dreamers Swim and Waterpolo Camp was guarding the door to prevent kids from sneaking into our sessions. We had waiting lists. We got scolded for recruiting, but really so many were having fun and learning they told their friends. PPS record showed Waterpolo at 95% attendance in 2012, and that included the need for all kids to run 1 mile over and back to the pools in The Hill.

I really wish we were offering, robust year round, "Dreamers" at PPS with Swim and Waterpolo so our kids could get invested in their teams, fitness, schools and academics. Let's all replicated and empowered what is proving to really work wonders in our community and hooked to athletics.

Go, go, go!

H2O

Coach Mark Rauterkus
412-298-3432

PS: Heard that high school students in National Honors Society have been asked, because of funding issues, to tutor middle school kids now. Rather, let's get those senior and smart students, our swim team really, to teach swimming and play waterpolo with the kids. Then greatness can happen with self esteem, relationships, mentoring, sportsmanship and rule following. Then the academics can flow for the individuals and institutions.

PSS: Friday's visit with USA Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer, Cullen Jones, with black history month, has the potentials to be special. He is at Obama at noon and UPrep at 2 pm. FYI, in April, three other USA Olympians, Waterpolo players, visit Pitt for a weekend clinic with Tiger Waterpolo (community, club program that supports our Summer Dreamers), and we will get our kids and the media to interact as well.
Footnote: Sam's fist season of swimming this year, as a senior, happens as he is registered and training for the May 2013 Pittsburgh Marathon, his first.
