AUDIT THE FED IS CLOSE TO BEING A REALITY

Last night, Campaign For Liberty announced that Ron Paul's "Audit the Fed" bill, or HR 1207 has now reached over 218 cosponsors. This means the bill now has a majority of support among House members. The sad part is the Pelosi gang could still easily prevent it from even being brought out of committee, let alone put up for an up or down vote.

The Audit the Fed bill isn't just a good idea, it is the right thing to do. Here's what Campaign For Liberty says on their site regarding the bill:

Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve has helped to devalue our dollar by 95%. During the recent economic crisis, it has poured trillions of dollars into the economy with no oversight, made secret agreements with foreign banks and governments, and has refused to tell Congress who is getting the money or to give it the details of what deals are being made.

HR 1207, Ron Paul's "Audit the Fed bill," will demand full transparency from the Federal Reserve for the first time in history by removing all restrictions from Government Accountability Office (GAO) audits of the Fed and mandating an audit by the end of 2010.
The 218+ cosponsors is good, but there is still a long way to go. Should the bill see success, it would be an important step in reforming a powerful organization.

UPDATE

Senator Jim DeMint has become the first cosponsor of the Senate's version of HR 1207. DeMint, like his fellow South Carolinian mark Sanford, has become a well-respected voice for true conservative principles in the last year. Hopefully, people will listen to these men, and not Liberal hacks like John McCain and Newt Gingrich.

SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS

This information is from January of this year, but it is interesting to note that the late abortionist was no hero.

Senator: Sotomayor Says She "Never Thought About" Rights of Unborn
By Kathleen Gilbert/LifeSiteNews.com

Of course she hasn't. All abortionists agree that abortion is a right, and that the unborn have no rights. They have no rights because they cannot speak. They have no rights because they cannot protest, or organize civil action groups calling for them to be recognized as a special interest group in need of protection. - Swampfox

US House of Representatives Approves Abortion Promoting "Office of Global Women’s Issues"
By Peter J. Smith/LifeSiteNews.com

Pro-life advocates had expressed concern over section 334 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, which would take effect starting in Fiscal Year 2010 and establishes in the State Department an Office of Global Women's Issues to coordinate efforts "relating to gender integration and women's empowerment."

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee earlier in April that the Obama administration was committed to dismantling legal protection for the unborn worldwide under the heading of "reproductive health."

Fascialism: The New American System
by Thomas J. DiLorenzo

Obama promises the worst of all economic worlds: A vast expansion of the welfare state form of socialism, as defined by Hayek, along with a heavy dose of old-fashioned, early twentieth-century, Stalinist socialism with the nationalization of banks, automobile companies, the health care industries, and whatever else he can get away with. The Mussolini-like cult of personality that has developed around him will facilitate this disastrous path to national economic suicide.

Defending America’s First Amendment
by Howie Rich
click here

One reason for free speech’s unwavering public support is the relative inviolability of the First Amendment at all points along our nation’s political spectrum. As the expression goes, we may not like what others have to say, but we will zealously defend their right to say it.

And that’s how it has to be. Otherwise, one of our bedrock national freedoms would be left to the shifting sands of today’s "political discourse," which is perhaps what many Washington politicians are hoping for.

Obama's "Safe Schools" Czar Dreamed of "Promoting Homosexuality" to Schoolchildren
By Alex Bush/LifeSiteNews.com

GLSEN regularly holds workshops that present tools for changing curricula at schools from kindergarten to high school, including "Inclusive Kindergarten," "Inclusive Elementary School Curriculum," and "Re-envisioning High School Literature."

GLSEN leaders believe that to win the battle for "homosexual rights," they must redefine the next generation’s view of homosexuality, beginning at kindergarten. Activist Jaki Williams has said that during kindergarten children are "developing their superego," and "that’s when the saturation process needs to begin."

The Holocaust Museum Atrocity and the DHS Report

The Holocaust Museum Atrocity and the DHS Report

Shared via AddThis

Let's be clear. There was never any controversy about violent extremists and bigoted criminals and domestic terrorists being a serious concern to public safety. The problem came in lumping together such unsavory elements with patriotic Americans who dissented against the Obama administration, distrusted expansive federal power or supported the right to bear arms and other traditional conservative and pro-liberty values. As I explained back in March, such efforts to cast such a wide net have historically had a chilling effect on free speech and undermined the civil liberties of American political activists, whether on the "extreme right" or the "radical left."

THIS IS CHANGE?

The Anti-Reagan
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Barack Obama seems as fated to fail as were Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter. And for the same reason: a belief in his own righteousness and moral superiority, and a belief that his ideals and his persona count mightily in the modern world.

POLITICIANS INFLUENCED BY BIG CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
By Michael Cutler/NewsWithViews.com

The large scale apathy demonstrated by citizens of this nation has emboldened elected representatives to all but ignore the needs of the average American citizen in a quest for massive campaign funds and the promises of votes to be ostensibly delivered by special interest groups.

Is This Where Government Schools Are Headed?
By: Al Benson Jr.

If we have now reached the point where blatant Marxism is being taught in government schools in New York City, where else is it also being taught - California, Pennsylvania, Florida, - your home state and you don't have a clue?

Secession from the government schools should be the order of the day. Sadly, the "fat, dumb, and happy" will probably leave their kids in the government schools until most of the next generation is fatally lost. Would to God that the Christians might wake up and realize what is going on!

A Muslim convert charged with fatally shooting an American Soldier at a military recruiting center said Tuesday that he doesn't consider the killing a murder because U.S. military action in the Middle East made the killing justified.
