What: Rep. Mel Watt (D-NC), Chairman of the House Monetary Policy Subcommittee, has sided with banking interests and is working to gut substantial audit provisions from H.R. 1207. The bill Congressman Watt has sent to the full Financial Services Committee contains no audit of the Fed’s monetary policy-making authority or transparency of the Fed’s secret agreements with foreign central banks.

Without these provisions, a so-called “audit” of the Fed would be worthless.

The full Financial Services Committee is likely to vote on this bill either later this week or early next.
Congressman Paul will offer an amendment to restore the provisions contained in H.R. 1207 to audit monetary policy and activity with foreign central banks. Thirteen of the 41 Democrats and all 29 Republicans on the Committee have cosponsored H.R. 1207, and if they hold the line, we will have the votes to win and restore a critical THOROUGH audit of the Fed.

When: All day Thursday November 5th

Who: Democrat House Financial Services Committee members

Actions:

1) Pressuring them is critical! Please call the following Democrats who have cosponsored H.R. 1207 and COURTEOUSLY BUT STRONGLY urge them to vote “Yes” on the Paul Amendment.

1. Rep. John Adler, NJ (202) 225-4765

2. Rep. Travis Childers, MS (202) 225-4306

3. Rep. Steve Driehaus, OH (202) 225-2216

4. Rep. Alan Grayson, FL (202) 225-2176

5. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa, TX (202) 225-2531

6. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, FL Toll Free: 1-877-956-762

7. Rep. Dan Maffei, NY (202) 225-3701

8. Rep. Brad Miller, NC (202) 225-3032

9. Rep. Walt Minnick, ID (202) 225-661

10. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, CO (202)-225-2645

11. Rep. David Scott, GA (202) 225-2939

12. Rep. Brad Sherman, CA (202) 225-591

13. Rep. Jackie Speier, CA (202) 225-3531

Or call toll free via the Congressional Switchboard number at 1-877-851-6437, and ask for each of their offices.

Up to this point, these members have been our allies on this issue. A civil yet firm tone should be kept during the calls. Thank them for their cosponsorship, tell them that Rep. Watt’s changes to the bill are unacceptable, and strongly urge them to hold the line and honor their promise to support transparency at the Fed by voting “Yes” for the Paul amendment.

2) It is also important that we contact House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and strongly urge them to schedule a standalone, up or down vote on the real Audit the Fed bill.

Rep. Barney Frank: (202) 225-5931

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-0100

(Or call the Congressional Switchboard number toll free listed above)

Now is a crucial time for Audit the Fed. If these 13 Democrats hold the line, Ron Paul, C4L and our numerous allies can win this battle. But, they must vote “Yes” on the Paul amendment when the full committee votes.

THANK YOU!

Join us for our monthly movie night. At Istanbul formerly Your Inner Vagabond.

Fall Of The Republic documents how an offshore corporate cartel is bankrupting the US economy by design. Leaders are now declaring that world government has arrived and that the dollar will be replaced by a new global currency.

President Obama has brazenly violated Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution by seating himself at the head of United Nations' Security Council, thus becoming the first US president to chair the world body.

A scientific dictatorship is in its final stages of completion, and laws protecting basic human rights are being abolished worldwide; an iron curtain of high-tech tyranny is now descending over the planet.

A worldwide regime controlled by an unelected corporate elite is implementing a planetary carbon tax system that will dominate all human activity and establish a system of neo-feudal slavery.

The image makers have carefully packaged Obama as the world's savior; he is the Trojan Horse manufactured to pacify the people just long enough for the globalists to complete their master plan.

This film reveals the architecture of the New World Order and what the power elite have in store for humanity. More importantly it communicates how We The People can retake control of our government, turn the criminal tide and bring the tyrants to justice.

What: It has just come to my attention that yesterday, October 20th, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) have introduced a bill called "Federal Reserve Accountability Act", an attempt to kill HR 1207/S 604 by passing a bill that prevents a full audit and full transparency from America's secretive central bank cartel. This is NOT the same thing as S. 604 Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009 which is modeled after Rep. Paul's H.R. 1207 Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. This new Senate bill does not yet have a bill number, but here's what we do know about it:

* It does NOT call for a complete accounting of the Fed. It primarily calls for accounting of the TARP funds,
which is only a small part of the whole Federal Reserve picture.
* The bill does not even touch what funds have been transferred to foreign bank and would not not allow a
review the Fed's inflation of the money supply
* This bill appears to be a compromise, designed to allow senators an out, permitting them to duck true responsibility and accountability at the Fed while fooling their constituents into thinking that they are seeing to it that something is being done about the Fed.

Read more here.

When: Wednesday October 21st all day or ASAP after that

Who: Our two spineless PA Senators

Action: Call them at they're DC offices and tell them:

* This new bill is NOT an acceptable compromise.
* This is a watered down, meaningless bill compared to S.604 which already has over 30 co-sponsors.
* We will not support the bill, and we do not want THEM supporting it, either.
* Instead, we continue to call for their support of S.604.

And while you're at it, demand that they bring S. 604 to the Senate floor to be debated as a stand-alone bill ASAP and to NOT give the Fed expanded powers, which is something the Obama Administration and now members of the U.S. House of Representatives are contemplating.

What: Members of Congress are now talking about wrapping up H.R. 1207's language (probably adulterated) into a bill that gives the FEDERAL RESERVE EVEN BROADER POWERS. If this is allowed to be coupled with Fed ower expanding legislation it will only be because of the political capital that people who have worked in groups like this have created. This must be separate from any other legislation. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO STEAL THIS HARD EARNED REWARD!

Who: Our respective Congresspeople (Re: H.R. 1207) and Senators (Re: S.B. 604). Find your Representative here.

Action: Call, email, fax, snail mail them to DEMAND that they bring H.R. 1207 and S.B. 604 TO THE FLOOR AS STAND-ALONE BILLS TO BE DEBATED and TO NOT GIVE THE FED EXPANDED POWERS.

What: Current reports indicate that Senator Max Baucus’s Senate Finance Committee is preparing to vote on their version of President Obama’s health control scheme today. One component of Baucus’s plan is the mandate that will force most Americans to either have government-approved coverage or to pay a tax penalty enforced by the IRS.

If we take action now, we may be able to stop the Baucus bill from ever reaching the Senate floor. This is a key vote for the administration and a perfect time for us to turn up the heat on Congress.

Who: Senate Finance Committee members.

Action: Contact them via they're individual website contact forms provided here. (Click each name on the list) and call them via the Committee’s main office number (202) 224-4515. Tell them to stand up for the American people by opposing this latest power grab. We agree that the status quo has to change, but government intervention in the health care market created this problem. More intervention is guaranteed to only make it much worse.

**NOTE: This meetup begins at 8:00AM and runs throughout the day, but please try to take action as early in the day as possible**

Thanks!

The following is the letter I'm sending to each senator. You can use it as is or edit it to send yourself.


Dear Senator ___________,


A component of Sen. Baucus’s health care plan is the mandate that will FORCE most Americans to either have government-approved coverage or TO PAY A TAX PENALTY enforced by the IRS. This is patently unjust!


This is just one of many power grabs that Mr. Obama'a administartion is attempting and must be stopped! Government intervention in the health care market created the problem that this ill-advised plan is attempting to solve. More such intervention with more expensive government bureaucracy is guaranteed to only make the problem much worse and place a further debt repayment burden on hard working Americans who are already over-taxed.


I strongly urge you to stand up for the American people by opposing this legislation and instead crafting and introducing a free market health care reform solution like Rep. Ron Paul's HR 1495: Comprehensive Health Care Reform Act: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1495


Thank you for your attention!


(When I contacted Sen. Baucus I wrote in the first line "A component of your plan" and in the last line I strongly encouraged him to abandon his plan rather than oppose the legislation.)

What: From Tea Party Patriots: Right now, the Senate has legislation in the Senate Finance Committee going full speed ahead trying to get health care legislation passed. The President campaigned on Transparency and yet was buttressed by the Democrats in Congress voting down the ideal to allow "We the People" to view Bills for 72 hours before they are voted upon. They also voted down the prospect of Congressional Budget Office scoring of legislation, before it is voted upon by members of Congress. We call upon all Conservatives to unite and say we have had enough of being ignored, we have seen enough sensible amendments being defeated and others passed on Party vote alone. The time has come for the Republicans to stand with the Majority of Americans and WALK OUT NOW!

Who: Republican Members of the Senate Finance Committee

Actions:

1) Call and tell them to WALK OUT NOW! in support of the American People, they Serve! Keep in mind these three simple messages :

-No Government Run Health Care

-No Mandate

-No Reconciliation/Fast Track (using reconciliation for health care reform is corrupt)

Also, Rule #4 of the Rules Procedure for the Senate Finance Committee reads "Rule 4. Quorums. - (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) one-third of the membership of the committee, including not less than one member of the majority party and one member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business." During your calls and in your emails quote Rule #4 and demand they all walk out, every one of them. The Democrats cannot pass the bill out of Committee without at least one Republican. Tell them to drag out every Republican member kicking and screaming if they have to but get all of them out.

**Call the Capitol switchboard toll free at 1-877-851-6437 or 1-866-220-0044 and ask for each senator's office

2) Email the Chiefs of Staff of Republican Senate Finance Committee Members and tell them you want the Senator to WALK OUT NOW!

A History of Eugenics and Population Control

Join us for our monthly movie presentation Maafa 21. Before the movie our own Andrew Forrest will give a 45 minute presentation explaining...
What eugenics is and how it was implemented in the U.S, how American eugenicists influenced, worked with, and funded nazi eugenicists, how eugenics changed it's name to population control, and finally the population control methods that are being used today.

Here is a brief description of the movie...
They were stolen from their homes, locked in chains and taken across an ocean. And for more than 200 years, their blood and sweat would help to build the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever known.
But when slavery ended, their welcome was over. America's wealthy elite had decided it was time for them to disappear and they were not particular about how it might be done.
What you are about to see is that the plan these people set in motion 150 years ago is still being carried out today. So don't think that this is history. It is not. It is happening right here, and it's happening right now.
