Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to confirm Ben Bernanke. Several senators have, however, opposed his confirmation and Bernie Sanders is one of them.

Sanders has stated that he will try to block Bernanke confirmation tomorrow:

There is a small bit about Ron Paul towards the end of the article.

Call your senator and tell them to vote against Bernanke's confirmation or to atleast wait until more questions can be answered.

Sanders already scored points with me for being the Senate sponsor of Audit the Fed....he's wrong on a lot of things, but I like that he's skeptical on the Fed.

Great news. This will make the democrats and republicans show their true colors. They love the Fed so much that they will end Sanders filibuster to get Bernanke confirmed.

Exposing the Fed will prove to be the single most important event of the past 100 years. The Fed created all the recessions/depressions and funds wars, terror & murders all over the planet.

What for? Ben Bernanke's stonewalling has been the best thing that has ever happened to Ron Paul's audit the Fed crusade. If the Obamessiah gets to replace him with a Democrat, all those Democratic congressmen who have co-sponsored HR 1207 will no longer have a reason to demand an audit because one of their own will be in power and the house will have been cleaned. It will be like the torture investigations that will never happen: "Now is the time to look forward, not backward."

As Ron Paul keeps saying, it is utterly irrelevant who chairs the Federal Reserve board.
