Beside the fact that this will never see the light of day I gotta say I like this guy and I like the way he thinks.

Its ok that it will not pass but we still need people like him to try and to get the spotlight on these issues. At least he is not just sitting in his office like a bump on a log.

I'm sick of waiting, I want eventually to be NOW, lol. How great it would be for the masses to drag these robber barrons and their corrupt government lapdogs that have destroyed our countries into the streets and put their severed heads on pikes on Wall St. Anybody here who has dealt with pretty much ANY financial institution or business knows that they will GLADLY take your last dollar and let your children starve, while the CEO wipes his arse with it.

Thanks Ron ... but in reality - we the people told Congress No money and they represent us, or at least they did initially - and then they passed it anyway after 97% of the population said no.... taxation without representation.... we dont owe diddilly .... carpet baggin bastards ....

I would like the start by awarding a round of applause to the OP. S&F!



I think that Ron Paul not advancing very much during the Presidential Election has been a blessing in disguise. He may not be running the show, but he is more well known for his blunt stance against Government and Corporate actions that are less than honorable.

I agree with the many who state their sadness that his bill will not get very far or will quickly be usurped by some new Governmental decree. However this truly is a step in the right direction. Each time these wrong-doings get brought to light more and more of the public become aware... not just the dwellers of the the web and other Media Outlets (I suppose that is me calling all of us out... )

Let's wait and see how this pans out...

I sometimes wonder about Ron Paul and why he is allowed to do things like this. I am starting to become worried he is a disinfo agent. He preaches about the problems and attempts to change them. His purpose may be to be a voice to like minded people who are aware of what is going on. To give us the hope that someone is trying to make things right, a way for us to vent our anger and say, "Well, at least he's on our side."

If he really did have the power to mess up TPB or was a rouge agent outside of the system he would have been put down or discredited a long time ago.

Just my 2 cents.

They try to discredit him all the time. Check out some YouTube videos during the election. CNN and MSNBC often had him on just to take jabs at him, but unfortunately for them they would ask a real question and he would blow their mind with the truth. I have seen more than one instance where the interviewer was speechless because they were just talking heads out to take a jab at the quack, and he schooled them.

Have heart, there really are a few people out there who know and speak the truth. The problem is that they rarely get the airtime or publicity they deserve. Thats why you see a lot of independent video on YouTube about Ron Paul. The internet is the closest thing we have to a "free press", I just hope we can protect it.

At least people will be on record for either standing with corruption or against it. Won't be very hard if the poopy hits the fan to figure out who was for freedom and liberty and who was protecting the corrupt devils. Just have a look at their voting records.

Oh if this stuff doesn't happen peacefully...if we don't get our country back peacefully....There will be bloodshed. All those bast@rds in Congress who fulfill their sorry agenda's instead of the American Public...they'll get theirs....that's if they don't want peace....maybe they want some war?

We need a few hundred more Ron Pauls.

You are absolutely correct--and it's sad but true.

well southside considering i can't find a job in this economic freefall- count me in as an "!" vote

That's odd Dr.Paul introduces this bill and the same day a police report comes out pretty much calling him and his supporters domestic "terrorists".I don't think this is a coincidence...

A good friend of mine with an uncanny knack for spotting the little things other people miss pointed out what is probably the only issue with this bill.

He stated that a politician (ie. Congressman) with foul intent could request an audit of the Fed as a sort of stalling tactic. When a business is audited, its workings come to a grinding halt as the company's financiers attempt to gather all the vital information required of Uncle Sam. What would happen, do you suppose, if the ultimate financial entity in the United States was audited? How long did the bill give them? Until 2011?

So, imagine for a moment a representative with an unethical agenda that only needs to keep the financial powers-that-be busy for a few years to complete whatever sinister plot he has in mind. I, for one, can think of a number of unhealthy situations when such a stall in the financial sector of government would be more than beneficial.

This bill will set a precedent that allows anyone in government to call for an audit of the Fed.

Personally, I'm behind the bill 100%. This little rambling bit is just something of an eye-opener to make sure we see the other side of the coin as well.

Regards.

If anything happens to Mr. Paul it will become extremely obvious to more than just a few conspiracy seekers.
