A Call To Action re Mel Watt

[GunnyFreedom]

Patriot Network Warning Notice!

Folks, as if we didn't have enough trouble to worry about, now we have even more.

See excerpts from the following article posted on Bloomberg:

Ladies and gentlemen, it was on account of one of the largest grassroots efforts in the history of America that we were able to push HR1207 “Audit The Fed” up to 300 cosponsors, and a clear majority of the House. Now, however, despite the clear will of the American people, one Mel Watt, Democrat Congressman from North Carolina’s 12th District (the most gerrymandered district in America) has taken the bill to Audit the Federal Reserve Bank and completely stripped it of it’s powers.

That’s right, the only thing left of the bill is the name. They are going to bring this to the House floor for a vote -- an empty bill with a name that the vast majority of Americans supported before Mel Watt, personally and completely on his own (well, maybe under the advisement of Barney Frank), stripped the bill of every function it has.

The Federal Reserve Bank is not a part of the Federal government. it is a cartel of private banks -- some with huge foreign interests like Citibank -- that have full and secret discretion on American monetary policy.

In case there was any question what the Federal Reserve Bank has done with American monetary policy, take a look at this:



The reality is that inflation is a device that transfers wealth from the poor and the middle class, into the hands of the ultra wealthy. It would almost seem that the Federal Reserve’s true purpose in life was to effect this inflation, and thus this transfer of wealth. A mere $4 in 1913 would buy what $100 buys today. This is why we have become a consumer society that does not save. Inflation destroys those who save. If you saved enough in 1913 to buy an entire house without any sort of mortgage, and passed it on to your children, they might have a mere $5000 today.

Now, as we know it is the ultra wealthy bankers and lobbyist special interests who control the vast majority of Washington DC. Mel Watt has in his district (and thus as some of his primary lobbyists as well)the company headquarters for Bank of America, who are a part of the Federal Reserve Bank and want no part of an audit of the Fed.

While I have no direct evidence of a quid-pro-quo relationship outside of BoA lobbyist payouts to the Mel Watt campaign and Mel’s own actions to protect his lobby from the scrutiny of the American people, there is certainly something rotten in Denmark.

Mell Watt has removed all the salient portions of HR1207 “Audit The Fed” and left an empty bill with a title that the vast majority of Americans have already rallied around in the hopes of exposing the banksters and the robber barons of this modern age that are using corporatism (not capitalism) to steal food from the tables of the poor and the middle class and to turn millionaires into billionaires, and to turn billionaires into trillionaires.

Don’t listen to the rhetoric that Mel Watt acts in the interest of the little guy. If that were the case then he would want a full audit of the Federal Reserve. Instead, his actions belie his words as he is doing everything in his power to prevent such an audit.



But please, folks, do not despair!

It was on account of one of the largest and most energetic grassroots campaigns in history that we achieved over 300 cosponsors on HR1207 as it was originally written. The establishment Democrats in the US House and Senate hope that We The People have forgotten about this very important bill, and that these shenanigans designed to pass the bill we demand -- but stripped of all it’s power so that nothing changes -- will go unnoticed.

It’s time to double-down and let them know that WE NOTICE!

What can we do?

We can stop this nonsense in no time flat, if we are serious about correcting the course of the United States. Ron Paul has announced that he intends to introduce an amendment to HR1207 that will restore the text of the bill back to the original form before Mel Watt gutted it. We can help him accomplish that.

Our lawmakers think we are not watching them on this subject any more, we must prove to them -- undeniably -- that we are watching them, and that we will not stop watching them until HR1207 is passed intact.

Here's what we need to do.

Saturday, October 31st and Sunday, November 1st we need to contact everybody we know in our networks, and call on them to contact everybody they know in their networks, to call on them to contact everybody they know in their networks. This was how the minuteman network worked when Paul Revere made his midnight ride, and we need to do it again. We must stand up in our millions and engage in a peaceful “once per day, every day” contact campaign. We need to set off a brushfire in the grassroots and have literally millions of Americans participating in this action

That is, every single day starting on Monday, November 2nd and continuing until the bill passes, we make one telephone call, send one e-mail, send one fax, and send one letter via postal mail per day. Each and every day until HR1207 is passed intact. Every contact we make we must demand two things:

1.Reject the Mel Watt markup and changes to HR1207

2.Vote “YES” on the Ron Paul amendment to restore the original text of HR1207

If we do this, then we will overwhelm the DC switchboard, post office, and fax lines like has never before been done in the history of the United States. Our elected Representatives in the US House will know for certain that we have not forgotten, and that we are still watching them, and that we still demand a full and fair audit of the Federal Reserve Bank.

I'm down for this.

Thanks Gunny.

[GunnyFreedom]

Thanks so much LE!

I truly believe that we have the overwhelming manpower to completely melt down the DC Switchboards, but we have to alert our extended network that something is amiss or it will pass by unnoticed.

I even made a quick script for those who do not want to come up with something themselves:

Hello, I need to tell you about a very important development in the effort to audit the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve has been the key tool used by our government since 1913 to strip ordinary citizens of our money and power and to draw both into the hands of politicians, power brokers, banksters, and robber barons.

On October 30th, we learned that Mel Watt, Democrat Congressman from North Carolina's 12th District has completely stripped every provision from HR1207 "Audit The Federal Reserve" despite the bill gaining over 300 cosponsors based on it's original text.

We need your help to restore a full audit in HR1207. Every day from Monday November 2nd until the bill passes, we need you to telephone your Representative, Fax them, e-mail them, and send them a postal letter, once per day every day to demand two things:

1) Reject the Mel Watt markup removing all power from HR1207
2) Vote "YES" on the Ron Paul amendment to restore the original text of HR1207

Please do this, and tell everybody you know to do likewise. We have been robbed blind by the Federal Reserve for nearly 100 years, and this private cartel of bankers controlling US monetary policy has never seen a comprehensive audit in it's entire history.

Thank you for your help in this crucial matter!

Pat Armstrong is the NC C4L State Coordinator, and she lives in CD 12.

[Bossobass]

I know Pat from the trenches in '07-'08.

I'm in CD-9, Sue Myrick's district. She'll be hearing from me tomorrow. Her staff calls here regularly with updates on issues we've made them aware of that interest us, 1207 being at the top of the list.

We'll bang on every door and stand on every corner in Watt's district before it's over.

Robbing you blind since 1993... Mel Watt BANKS on your money. Just ask his top contributors at Bank of America.

The Federal Reserve Banks that Mel Watt works to protect have given trillions of dollars of taxpayer money in secret and here's a clue... NONE of it went to CD-12. ALL of it went to WALL STREET. And, YOU will pay the tab.

I'm starting a street by street map grid, looking up every warehouse, business and plant closing, graphing tax increases since 1993, etc., for CD-12.

It’s been a one-man show in North Carolina’s 12th U.S. House District since the district was created 16 years ago.

That man is U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, a Democrat from Mecklenburg County, the only person to represent the district that tracks Interstate 85 as it meanders from Charlotte through Greensboro.

Watt, 63, has run successfully eight times but characterizes this year as a difficult climate for those seeking re-election. He is paired against a newcomer to politics, Ty Cobb Jr. of Salisbury, a 68-year-old Republican running a populist campaign.

It should come to no surprise that the House of Representatives have furthered the nationalization of American industry by wasting another $15 billion of tax money that doesn’t exist to bailout the gross mismanagement of the Big Three automakers and their blood sucking unions. Here is a list of how our Carolina representatives voted:

In Favor of Socialism:

Bob Etheridge - D-NC-02
David Price - D-NC-04
Mel Watt - D-NC-12
Brad Miller - D-NC-13
Jack Spratt - D-SC-05
Jim Clyburn - D-SC-06

$787 BILLION STIMULUS: Voting 286 for and 183 against, the House on Friday approved the conference report on a $787 billion economic stimulus bill (HR 1). A yes vote was to approve the conference report.
Voting yes: G.K. Butterfield, D-1; Bob Etheridge, D-2; David Price, D-4; Mike McIntyre, D-7; Larry Kissell, D-8; Melvin Watt, D-12; Brad Miller, D-13
Voting no: Walter Jones, R-3; Virginia Foxx, R-5; Howard Coble, R-6; Sue Myrick, R-9; Patrick McHenry, R-10
When your grandchildren ask you why their taxes are so high, and why government is so big, and what economic freedom was like, I hope you’re able to tell them.

Also on the wall of shame for frivolously throwing your tax dollars away are the following pigs who received a zero score:

G.K. Butterfield (D-NC-01)
Jim Clyburn (D-SC-06)
Bob Etheridge (D-NC-02)
Larry Kissell (D-NC-08)
Brad Miller (D-NC-13)
David Price (D-NC-04)
Jack Spratt (D-SC-05)
Mel Watt (D-NC-11)

Those who voted to raise your energy bills by about $1500 a year to “save the planet” are as follows:

G.K. Butterfield (D-NC-01)
Bob Etheridge (D-NC-02)
David Price (D-NC-04)
Heath Shuler (D-NC-11)
Mel Watt (D-NC-12)
Brad Miller (D-NC-13)
Jack Spratt (D-SC-05)
Jim Clyburn (D-SC-06)

I imagine Congressman Watt is quite disturbed over the ruling as it may mean his district could be redrawn and for the first time ever he may actually have to get out and work to get reelected. Can you imagine something so awful?

CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE: Voting 290 for and 135 against, the House on Wednesday sent President Obama a bill (HR 2) expanding State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) coverage from 6.6 million children to about 11 million children.
FOR- G.K. Butterfield, D-1; Bob Etheridge, D-2; David Price, D-4; Mike McIntyre, D-7; Heath Shuler, D-11; Melvin Watt, D-12; Brad Miller, D-13
Against- Walter Jones, R-3; Virginia Foxx, R-5; Howard Coble, R-6; Sue Myrick, R-9; Patrick McHenry, R-10
Not voting- Larry Kissell, D-8
The seven Democrats who voted for this think it’s your job to pay for other people’s children, and that your money is best used to reward parents who can’t take care of their own families. The idea of helping poor children sounds wonderful; the reality is more socialism and wealth redistribution that helps no one.

$816 BILLION STIMULUS: 244 for and 188 against.
For- G.K. Butterfield, D-1; Bob Etheridge, D-2; David Price, D-4; Mike McIntyre, D-7; Larry Kissell, D-8; Melvin Watt, D-12; Brad Miller, D-13
Against- Walter Jones, R-3; Virginia Foxx, R-5; Howard Coble, R-6; Sue Myrick, R-9; Patrick McHenry, R-10; Heath Shuler, D-11

Those who voted in favor of this monstrosity just condemned your grandkids to a lifetime of government servitude to pay it off.

REP. CHARLES RANGEL: Voting 242 for and 157 against, the House on Tuesday tabled a Republican bid to remove Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee because of conduct now being investigated. Rangel is under scrutiny for dealings concerning rent-controlled apartment units in his district, his admitted failure to pay taxes on rental income on resort property, and his use of his committee post to help the City College of New York raise funds for an academic facility in his name. A yes vote opposed the motion to strip Rangel of his committee post.
Voting yes: Etheridge, Jones, Price, McIntyre, Kissell, Shuler, Watt, Miller
Voting no: Foxx, Coble, Myrick, McHenry
Not voting: Butterfield
Well, that’s it. I’m not paying my taxes anymore. If don’t get appointed to a cabinet post, at the very least I can enjoy a comfy job as a House committee chairman. The Ways and Means Committee, by the way, is the committee in charge of tax policy. That means the Ways and Means Chair and the Treasury Secretary are both tax cheats. Hope and change… hope and change…
