This is not Ron Paul. This is an imposter. In the CFL videos, the real Ron Paul is colored orange.

good point

[Don't Tread on Mike]

great to hear things are looking very favorable.

We might want to take this opportunity to realize HOW LONG RP has been working toward this, and realize that we must work hard, long and diligently. Things are not going to happen overnight. Don't lose faith.

How many people on the forum are working on petitions and will be visiting their congressional office tomorrow?

[kathy88]

I'm working on petitions for other districts. My guy signed on a few days ago. I sent his office a thank you email over the weekend, and got a response "thank you for your interest in the FDIC blah blah...." I responded thusly:

I am a bit disheartened that my thank you for co-sponsoring HR1207 was replied to with an explanation of the FDIC. It would be nice if the people in your office who respond to constituent emails would actually read them before sending out your canned responses.

This was replied to with 3 emails within 15 seconds of each other about HR 1207 and what it will accomplish. Like I didn't already know. *sigh*

Well, as I said I would I've been calling Peter Welch's office every day asking why he hasn't signed on to 1207. Today I got this email:



Dear Ms. _______,

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

Introduced by Rep. Ron Paul, H.R. 1207 would eliminate restrictions on General Accounting Office (GAO) audits of the Federal Reserve to open up the Federal Reserve operations to enhanced scrutiny. H.R. 1207 was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind the next opportunity Congress has to address this issue. Please continue to be in touch and I hope to see you in Vermont soon.

Sincerely,

PETER WELCH

So, I responded:



Dear Mr. Welch,

Thank you for your timely response to my inquiry about your position on HR 1207. Unfortunately you gave no indication of whether or not you intend to co-sponsor this bill which was my primary concern in contacting you.

It is apparent to me that the Federal Reserve needs to have some sort of oversight. HR 1207 puts in place an audit of the Fed. This is essential for transparency. At a time when Congress is approving hundreds of billions of dollars to shore up the financial sector the taxpayers deserve to the assurance that the Federal Reserve is acting in their best interest.

I find it interesting that you sit on the Government Operations and Reform Committee, yet you are silent on this issue. I am sure that you know all about Reps. Kucinich and Towns' call for an expanded investigation into the Fed's role in the Bank of America acquisition of Merrill Lynch. It is clear to many that the Federal Reserve in cooperation with the Treasury and with the consent of Congress has exhibited behavior which is suspicious and potentially criminal.

I'm also sure that you are aware of the two bills senator Sanders has introduced in the Senate which seek the same ends. If you are in doubt about whether this type of legislation is necessary I suggest contacting him.

I urge you to take a position-- the side of the people of Vermont and the US-- on this issue and support HR 1207. This is a non-partisan issue. It is a straightforward bill which seeks to do one thing--audit the Federal Reserve.

Most businesses and government institutions are audited at some point in their operation. After 96 years, I feel it's about time for the Federal Reserve to open its books.

Please co-sponsor HR 1207, which now has 91 other co-sponsors.

Sincerely,

[kathy88]

KILLER response. Can we use it if we need it?

This is not Ron Paul. This is an imposter. In the CFL videos, the real Ron Paul is colored orange.

Or pink with bad lipstick like in the official campaign's production before the Iowa caucus (Also, a lot of really annoying multi colored glossy books in the background is a key authenticity flag..):
