The Fed must be audited
It is imperative that the Federal Reserve be audited. Most every private, substantial organization is audited. Think of all the audits that have turned up corruption and misuse. The Fed is an organization that has no oversight and can make or destroy our entire economy and through its financial power can actually cause chain reactions that lead to wars, depressions and other society changing events. The Fed is not audited and has no oversight! Think of the checks and balances in our government. The Fed stands apart from those checks and balances (just like all the newly appointed “czars”, which is another matter to address soon). Congressman Ron Paul has proposed house (HR 1207) and senate bills (S 604) to audit the fed. Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning, Kentucky’s state senators haven’t co-sponsored this bill yet. It is worthwhile to bring it to their attention because 226 reps have co-signed the house bill…. Unlike the GDP destroying Cap and Trade (tax) bill which is 1200 pages this takes about 5 minutes to read, our congressmen may actually take the time to read it (because we know they aren’t reading the big ones). Brett Guthrie, Kentucky’s warren county district congressman has sponsored the house bill so he doesn’t need to be contacted unless you just want to thank him for standing up for our rights (I’d encourage you to do so). This is very important because if the fed is finally audited we’ll actually know where “stimulus” money goes and people like Ben Bernanke will finally have to account for their actions.

Cap & Trade (TAX!)
The House is set to vote on Cap and Trade legislation tonight. Cap and Trade is nothing more than a tax on every man, woman and child in this country that uses electricity, and even if you don’t you will be adversely effected through the rising cost of products. Cap and Trade is legislation that seeks to tax power providers (especially coal power) for the amount of carbon they put in the atmosphere. Tell me what will offset that cost?
1. Your electrical bills will rise – some estimates are $1500 – $3000 /yearly per American family, President Obama himself stated that their will be substantial price increases
2. The chain reaction of higher energy costs will filter throughout the economy – manufacturers will have to account for lost revenue, distributors will then eventually retailers will and you’ll see all products increase
3. GDP will surely suffer
4. The US will NOT be on a level playing field of the global economy…. China, India, Russia and the EU will not have to follow these regulations, they will prosper while the US will flounder
5. Spain has tried this type of regulation of carbon… they are currently at 18% un-employment due to it
6. NASA just released a report that manmade carbon probably doesn’t effect the climate
7. Many respected scientists have recanted and are denying global warming, they are in fact stating a global cooling trend
This regulation will be a crushing blow to the US’s already struggling economy. Obama stressed transparency but the bill is being rammed through congress. Its over 1000 pages and a 400 page ammendment was added at 3AM this morning. Tell me how many congressmen are going to read 400 pages an hour and figure all this out. Who knows what is in this thing? The American people deserve time to see this, figure it out and stop it! What is the point of all this you ask? The point is to trick the American people into paying a “behind the scenes” tax which will pay for all the corruption and uncontrolled spending that George Bush, President Obama and prior and current congresses have recently forced upon the American people. We are being attacked for their horrible decisions. Its time to fight back and let our congress people know we will vote AGAINST them if they pass this knee-capping to our economy and our disposable income.
The bill is HR 2454. I would link to it but Govtrack is crashed right now… probably because the American people are outraged and they are contacting their congressmen at the speed of light (we hope so).
