H.R. 1207 Faxbomb!!!:D
This Friday March 27th the H.R. 1207 Faxbomb will commence. On Friday, we will drown Capitol Hill in faxes calling for support of Ron Paul's historical "Audit the Fed" bill. Then, starting on Monday March 30th, a weeklong faxbomb campaign will commence. I reccomend that you target only those Congressmen/women who have not yet co-sponsored H.R. 1207. However, feel free to fax the whole House if you wish. (I will be faxing the whole House) Along with faxing, feel free to email and phone call your Congressmen/women too. Capitol Hill will feel our wrath as their fax machines get jammed and catch on fire!:eek: Using the free fax service at http://faxzero.com/ you can send two faxes per day. Alternatively you can purchase a small fax service for one month and faxbomb Congress into oblivion (what I will be doing).
Note: ronpaulforums.com is 22,000 members strong. If only 500 people fax the whole House (485) then we will have drowned Capitol Hill in 242,500 faxes!

Dear Congresswoman/man [name],
I urge you to do the right thing by co-sponsoring H.R.1207 The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009!
An audit of the Federal Reserve is almost 100 years overdue. We must have accountability for the management (or mismanagement) of our nations money supply as well as providing transparency for the allocation of funds.
You took an oath to defend and protect our Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. As your constituent I expect you vote according to our Constitution.
As a member of Congress, you have the right and the power to be provided with the inner workings of this 'private' Federal Reserve system which pulls the strings from top down in all aspects of not just our economy, but the daily lives of Americans and its geo-political influences here and abroad!
Please join the current [number] co-sponsors in principle:
Sincerely,

Dear Congressman/woman [name],
I am writing to ask you to PLEASE co-sponsor HR 1207. The purpose of this bill (recently introduced by the honorable Dr. Ron Paul) is to allow Congress to AUDIT THE ACTIONS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
This agency meets in secret and doesn't have to foreclose its actions to anyone.
This kind of secretive authority to affect our monetary system is simply UNCONSTITUTIONAL and WE THE PEOPLE have a RIGHT TO KNOW what is going on in their meetings-some of which occur overseas with central banks of FOREIGN NATIONS.
So PLEASE Mr. or Mrs. [name], in the name of our founding fathers, who would be sick at the idea of such an all-powerful organization having so much impact on U.S. citizens, help co-sponsor this most important bill.
Lest you feel alone in such support, I've included a list below of all the congress members who are currently co-sponsoring this bill. Note that BOTH parties are in support. Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,

Dear Congressman/woman [name],
I urgently seek your Support of H.R. 1207: The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009.
Recently, it has come to light that the Federal Reserve is not accountable to American citizens. While we are required by law to give an accounting of every penny we come in contact with, the Federal Reserve, in contrast, can spend as it pleases without Congressional approval or oversight. In this economic crisis, we deserve an accounting of how our money is being spent-- H.R. 1207 will shed light on the Federal Reserve. President Obama pledged to bring transparency to Washington D.C., and by supporting this piece of legislation you are assisting the President in achieving this very worthy goal.
President Obama also pledged to work with both parties in order to find bi-partisan solutions to the problems facing America. H.R. 1207 currently has bi-partisan support amongst its 30 and counting co-sponsors. Your support for this legislation will demonstrate a willingness on your part to put the interests of your constituents before party loyalties.
It should be noted that a common error among many members of Congress is that Title 12, Ch.3, Subchapter II, §248b, which orders the Board of Governors to give an annual independent audit of the Federal Reserve, provides substantive information to Congress or the public. In reality, these audits do not provide Congress with the critical information of how the Federal Reserve is handling trillions of taxpayer dollars, and we need to untie the hands of the Government Accountability Office by reforming Title 31, section 714 to allow them to conduct full, comprehensive audits.
This critical legislation is short and concise, and can be read quickly. I encourage you to read H.R. 1207, and then swiftly act to support it. A lack of support suggests that you oppose the President's goals of transparency and bi-partisanship, and instead favor secrecy and division.
Thank you in advance for your attention. I have every expectation that you will do right by your constituents and support this measure to bring accountability to the Federal Reserve.
Supplemental Information
As of today, almost $10 trillion in bailouts and loans have been agreed to by Congress, the Treasury Department, and the Federal Reserve.
With our national debt approaching $11 trillion, it is critical that we demand a full accounting of how the government has spent our money.
The Federal Reserve, the unelected central bank of the United States, releases details of its meetings and activities on its own time-table, if at all. Its monopoly over the flow of money and credit in our country has once again led us into a preventable economic crisis.
Yet, the Federal Reserve has refused to tell Congress and the rest of us how it is spending our tax dollars as it piles bailout on top of bailout and lends to other nations.
The Treasury’s supplementary financing accounts that fund Fed facilities allow the Treasury to funnel money to Wall Street without GAO or Congressional oversight.
The Federal Reserve Transparency Act would eliminate restrictions on GAO audits of the Federal Reserve and open Fed operations to enhanced scrutiny. We hear officials constantly lauding the benefits of transparency and especially bemoaning the opacity of the Fed, its monetary policy, and its funding facilities. By opening all Fed operations to a GAO audit and calling for such an audit to be completed by the end of 2010, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act would achieve much-needed transparency of the Federal Reserve.

I learned today of the tragic deaths of three families, related to and friends of Bud Feldkamp, a dedicated Ron Paul supporter and big time donor. The link to the story is here: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/87527
I have decided to dedicate this faxbomb to their memory. Let's make this the best faxbomb we have ever pulled off!
For the Pullen family! For the Jacobson family! For the Ching family! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

This Friday March 27th the H.R. 1207 Faxbomb will commence. On Friday, we will drown Capitol Hill in faxes calling for support of Ron Paul's historical "Audit the Fed" bill. Then, starting on Monday March 30th, a weeklong faxbomb campaign will commence. I reccomend that you target only those Congressmen/women who have not yet co-sponsored H.R. 1207. However, feel free to fax the whole House if you wish. (I will be faxing the whole House) Along with faxing, feel free to email and phone call your Congressmen/women too. Capitol Hill will feel our wrath as their fax machines get jammed and catch on fire!:eek: Using the free fax service at http://faxzero.com/ you can send two faxes per day. Alternatively you can purchase a small fax service for one month and faxbomb Congress into oblivion (what I will be doing).
Note: ronpaulforums.com is 22,000 members strong. If only 500 people fax the whole House (485) then we will have drowned Capitol Hill in 242,500 faxes!

Dear Congresswoman/man [name],
I urge you to do the right thing by co-sponsoring H.R.1207 The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009!
An audit of the Federal Reserve is almost 100 years overdue. We must have accountability for the management (or mismanagement) of our nations money supply as well as providing transparency for the allocation of funds.
You took an oath to defend and protect our Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. As your constituent I expect you vote according to our Constitution.
As a member of Congress, you have the right and the power to be provided with the inner workings of this 'private' Federal Reserve system which pulls the strings from top down in all aspects of not just our economy, but the daily lives of Americans and its geo-political influences here and abroad!
Please join the current [number] co-sponsors in principle:
Sincerely,

Dear Congressman/woman [name],
I am writing to ask you to PLEASE co-sponsor HR 1207. The purpose of this bill (recently introduced by the honorable Dr. Ron Paul) is to allow Congress to AUDIT THE ACTIONS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
This agency meets in secret and doesn't have to foreclose its actions to anyone.
This kind of secretive authority to affect our monetary system is simply UNCONSTITUTIONAL and WE THE PEOPLE have a RIGHT TO KNOW what is going on in their meetings-some of which occur overseas with central banks of FOREIGN NATIONS.
So PLEASE Mr. or Mrs. [name], in the name of our founding fathers, who would be sick at the idea of such an all-powerful organization having so much impact on U.S. citizens, help co-sponsor this most important bill.
Lest you feel alone in such support, I've included a list below of all the congress members who are currently co-sponsoring this bill. Note that BOTH parties are in support. Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
[Signature]

Dear Congressman/woman [name],
I urgently seek your Support of H.R. 1207: The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009.
Recently, it has come to light that the Federal Reserve is not accountable to American citizens. While we are required by law to give an accounting of every penny we come in contact with, the Federal Reserve, in contrast, can spend as it pleases without Congressional approval or oversight. In this economic crisis, we deserve an accounting of how our money is being spent-- H.R. 1207 will shed light on the Federal Reserve. President Obama pledged to bring transparency to Washington D.C., and by supporting this piece of legislation you are assisting the President in achieving this very worthy goal.
President Obama also pledged to work with both parties in order to find bi-partisan solutions to the problems facing America. H.R. 1207 currently has bi-partisan support amongst its 30 and counting co-sponsors. Your support for this legislation will demonstrate a willingness on your part to put the interests of your constituents before party loyalties.
It should be noted that a common error among many members of Congress is that Title 12, Ch.3, Subchapter II, §248b, which orders the Board of Governors to give an annual independent audit of the Federal Reserve, provides substantive information to Congress or the public. In reality, these audits do not provide Congress with the critical information of how the Federal Reserve is handling trillions of taxpayer dollars, and we need to untie the hands of the Government Accountability Office by reforming Title 31, section 714 to allow them to conduct full, comprehensive audits.
This critical legislation is short and concise, and can be read quickly. I encourage you to read H.R. 1207, and then swiftly act to support it. A lack of support suggests that you oppose the President's goals of transparency and bi-partisanship, and instead favor secrecy and division.
Thank you in advance for your attention. I have every expectation that you will do right by your constituents and support this measure to bring accountability to the Federal Reserve.
Supplemental Information
As of today, almost $10 trillion in bailouts and loans have been agreed to by Congress, the Treasury Department, and the Federal Reserve.
With our national debt approaching $11 trillion, it is critical that we demand a full accounting of how the government has spent our money.
The Federal Reserve, the unelected central bank of the United States, releases details of its meetings and activities on its own time-table, if at all. Its monopoly over the flow of money and credit in our country has once again led us into a preventable economic crisis.
Yet, the Federal Reserve has refused to tell Congress and the rest of us how it is spending our tax dollars as it piles bailout on top of bailout and lends to other nations.
The Treasury’s supplementary financing accounts that fund Fed facilities allow the Treasury to funnel money to Wall Street without GAO or Congressional oversight.
The Federal Reserve Transparency Act would eliminate restrictions on GAO audits of the Federal Reserve and open Fed operations to enhanced scrutiny. We hear officials constantly lauding the benefits of transparency and especially bemoaning the opacity of the Fed, its monetary policy, and its funding facilities. By opening all Fed operations to a GAO audit and calling for such an audit to be completed by the end of 2010, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act would achieve much-needed transparency of the Federal Reserve.

I learned today of the tragic deaths of three families, related to and friends of Bud Feldkamp, a dedicated Ron Paul supporter and big time donor. The link to the story is here: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/87527
I have decided to dedicate this faxbomb to their memory. Let's make this the best faxbomb we have ever pulled off!
For the Pullen family! For the Jacobson family! For the Ching family! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
