US Congress OVERWHELMINGLY Passes Ron Paul's Bill to Audit Fed Reserve

Dude you nailed it. I'm 100% for Paul as well, but damn I know how the Senate works and I seriously doubt this bill make it out.

What will happen is that the Bill we be brought before the floor, Harry Reid will talk and convince his fellow crooks to have a vote to pass the bill to a subcommittee. Subcommittees are the death knell for bills. They will sit there for decades and nothing will be done about it. Especially if they send the bill to a subcommittee with members that do not support the bill (read are already bought and paid for by the federal reserve).

IF this makes into an actual Floor vote, it might pass - only to be put to death by President Obama.

But I am afraid it likely won't get through a Democrat majority senate. Ben Bernanke has already stated that an audit of the FED will cause national security problem.....Yes, usually when people find out that you gave banks all around the world trillions of dollars will tend of get a little pissed off. So essentially, what I am saying is too little, too late. The money has already been shipped out and the people will have to pay for it.

(that goes without saying even if it passes the Senate, how long will it take to do the audit, get someone to go over the results, committees to talk about those results, that could take years.....years in which the deficit will grow by trillions and trillions of dollars)

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Excellent compiled list there. Although, there is little we can do about their poor votes because their job is to vote implying they have the lawful right to pro/con.

Too late IMO. Horse, stable, bolted.

The congress is in the pocket of the banks. So is the government.

It doesnt matter anymore, the banks have already stated, they have conquerd europe and the us.

Better late than never. Write your congressman and maybe just maybe there is hope for this country.

Just to spite him they'll put Romney and Rand Paul in office

I just wish the Senate would also pass, but they won't. Too much opposition from BOTH sides because they all reap millions from Wall Streeters and/or hope to land a 8 figure lobbying gig with Goldman Sach or JP Morgan some day. Say what you want about Ron Paul no one can question his sincerity, authenticity or consistency over 30 years. He's near the last of his breed who'd have made good friends of the Founders were they of the same time.

Saw this near the top - I must have missed the misnomer in the thread title yesterday. One house, not "congress" passed this. If the U.S. Congress had passed it, all it would need is the president's signature. "congress" is the house of representatives and the senate.

I've been in the dark ever since Rand endorsed Romney and Ron really didn't have anything significant to say about that... turned all their trust upside down for me.

Can someone update me as to what this bill is ACTUALLY going to do ? Because last time I checked congress already turned their back on the American people and oh what do you know NOW all of a sudden they want to audit the fed?

Is anything even gona happen if this bill passes? Sounds like a ploy to appease the American people for the time being, unless someone can enlighten me otherwise

..really great news. i hope it works out. im just kinda iffy on whats really gonna happen once it hits the senate & obamas desk. even if it passes, im scared the fed is already prepared to cover there arses in the event of an audit.

Doesn't the Federal Reserve's 100 year contract with the treasury end next year?

I don't see any legitimate source supplying that information so I'm not sure how true it is.

Just a question. Does it mean anything that, roughly, every Republican voted for the bill while the Democrats split 50-50? Why would a party be so on the fence about it? (Yes, I know the numbers aren't exact, but it was easier and helped simplify the point.)

You make a good point.

I think the whole thing stinks of propaganda.

I think the Republicans decided they would pull a fast one on the democrats to make them look bad. I am sure they had all pretended to be split on the topic as usual and then the republicans pulled together in a seemingly bold move to audit the FED knowing what the public reaction would be to such a move. They were all for it because they knew the Senate would crush it.

I think it was a solid political move that was meaningless as usual, but calculated for a short term gain in polls.

I am sick of this political WWE match. Who would support an audit the fed demonstration? If that happened how many people would say Soros is behind it? How many would condemn them for using foul language or defecating in an alley? How many true patriots are there? I only see one in politics.

the federal reserve was founded in 1913.

it has never been audited.

how long will it take to go thru 99 years of financial transactions, board meetings, money transfers and records.

it would take hundreds of years.

that would be the only way to get an accurate account of what the fed has done, is doing and will do.

its all b.s. to silent the masses. it's a sham and they'll release a bunch of meaningless statistics in a hundred page report that will put a mummy to sleep.

That is awesome. If we had more people like this in the government we might not be in the shape we're in. Kudos to Mr. Paul! I'm sure he's probably made someone angry with this. There's always someone who wants to keep things hidden from the public.

Funny how many opinions there are on Ron Paul's bill questioning the integrity of the bill itself.

Well folks, nobody is keeping the bill from you. You are FREE to read it in its true form.

The bill was voted on under suspension of rules, which requires a 2/3 vote but maintains the integrity that Ron Paul intended without any amendments watering the bill down.


Seems like ATS is just full of members that don't do their homework while complaining all day and night about the elites being in control. Yea, guess who wins in that situation.

it has never been audited.

A financial audit is performed annually.

If anyone wondered what a demon looks like.

That's okay, the government will just swoop in, fix the books up and find the right place for everything before anything fraudulent and corrupt is surfaced.

No it isn't.

Stop spreading propanganda.

From your own source

Current law also protects the Federal Reserve from audits that reveal transactions with foreign central banks and governments, the reserves of its member banks and discussions among its employees about these issues.

How can you audit something when half the books are off limits?
