Dear Friend of Liberty, I hope you join me in my firm conviction that now is the time to fight back against the out of control Federal Reserve and continued Wall Street plundering of our tax dollars. The threat isn’t hard to see -- just look all around us. Our constitutional principles and freedoms are being assaulted at every turn. More bailouts, trillion dollar “stimulus” plans, huge new debt burdens for our children, simply printing money to cover our failed policies -- I could go on and on. You and I both know that President Obama is going to keep going and going unless someone puts a stop to the madness. But the good news is there is a way to fight back. And that fight starts today -- by “Auditing the Fed” and showing the American people just how the Fed has abused its power, debauched the dollar, and helped strangle our economy. Because I know you are a friend in Liberty, I wanted you to be among the first people contacted by Campaign for Liberty for the vital fight against the out of control Federal Reserve. Please read the enclosed letter from my friend and Campaign for Liberty’s President, John Tate. John isn’t just a friend of mine. He’s also a patriot with years of experience getting things done in politics. Now he’s agreed to take up the fight in a way I cannot -- by leading the fight for Liberty on the outside, while I do battle in the halls of Congress. I trust you’ll find this battle to expose the out of control Fed worth your support. For Liberty, Congressman Ron Paul Dear Friend of Liberty, Trillions of dollars are being stolen from the U.S. taxpayer. Right now, you and I are seeing the worst plundering of a country’s wealth in the history of civilization, led by an out of control Federal Reserve. But together you and I CAN put a stop to it all. With your help (including submitting the petition linked below to your Congressman and Senators) today, Representative Ron Paul, Senator Jim DeMint and Campaign for Liberty are ready to fight back, by taking the battle straight to the heart of the problem – the Federal Reserve itself. Just think about the scope of the problem for a minute: The massive, outrageous amount of dollars committed to the economic bailouts in recent months totals: More than the socialist New Deal ... More than the entire Iraq debacle ... More than the 1980’s savings and loan mess ... More than the Korean War ... COMBINED. When will it all end? It’s time you and I put a stop to a renegade Federal Reserve by exposing the Fed's out of control actions to the American people. And Congressman Ron Paul and Senator Jim DeMint have a bill before Congress to do just that, known as the "Audit the Fed" Bill (HR 1207 and S 604). That’s why it’s vital you click here to submit your “Audit the Fed” petition in support of Congressman Paul’s bill. You see, Audit the Fed already has almost 300 cosponsors! Now is the time to make sure your Congressman and Senators feel the heat to support the Audit the Fed bill! If you and I don’t act today, I’m afraid this crisis will end with the economic ruin of every man, woman and child in America. Today, nearly 13 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars in bailouts and loans has been agreed to by Congress, the Bush and Obama Treasury Departments, and the out of control Fed. So is it really any wonder more and more folks are starting to realize the Washington, D.C. establishment is hurtling us toward complete economic disaster? Whether it’s watching a phony “stimulus” package get rammed into law or watching Congress pass a $700 BILLION bank “bailout” under threat of martial law, the American people are agitated and increasingly angry. That means it’s a perfect time to unleash the pressure of MILLIONS of outraged Americans on the out of control Fed! So please click here to sign the petition linked below urging your Congressman and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes to pass the Audit the Fed Bill! As I know you’re aware, the Federal Reserve is shrouded in secrecy. Their meetings are off-limits to the public. Their inner workings are off-limits to the public. And just recently, the Federal Reserve told Congress “NO WAY” when asked to account for $2 TRILLION in taxpayer-backed loans! Well, why do you think they refused? They know coming clean with Congress and the American people on how they doled out that two TRILLION dollars would result in an anti-Fed firestorm. So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit? You and I will finally be able to show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to: *** Constant economic crises -- the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally-planned interest rates and money manipulation; *** The destruction of the middle class -- as fuel, food, housing, medical care and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money slowly decreases; *** Currency destruction -- history shows us that riots, violence and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize our money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it. And unless you and I do end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we’d like to think to learning that history lesson firsthand -- right here in our own streets. That’s why your commitment to helping pass the Audit the Fed Bill –- and helping Campaign for Liberty fight this battle -- is so vital. Just a few months ago, there was no chance of passing any legislation like the Audit the Fed Bill. So I guess there has been one “CHANGE..” You see, with the piling up of trillions of dollars in out of control “bailouts” of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington want to show you they’re “being responsible.” What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from the U.S. taxpayers? More and more Congressmen are already feeling the pressure and are signing up to support this bill. I’ve even received word this bill could move in the next few weeks in the U.S. House. When that happens, you and I must be ready to fight. And, it’s both a bill we CAN pass, and one that is vital to exposing the massive corruption and dollar manipulation at the Federal Reserve. You see, after regulating, taxing, spending, borrowing and printing us into what looks like the worst recession in decades, establishment politicians and power brokers are assuring us they’re working hard to “fix” our economic woes. What is their solution? You guessed it. More of the same! And even if the Audit the Fed Bill is defeated this time, just forcing a vote is a win/win situation. Can you imagine how many politicians will pay the price at the ballot box in 2010 when you and I tell the American people their Congressman somehow lost trillions of taxpayer dollars and refused to even LOOK for it? Now we just need to show Congress the American people demand action on the Audit the Fed Bill. Here’s how we plan to do that. First, we’re already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones and email to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on Ron Paul's Audit the Fed Bill. But that’s just the beginning. We’ll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to ratchet up the pressure even further on Congress. And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we’d also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV and newspaper ads. This entire program is designed to send this one, CLEAR message to Congress: Any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve Audit should look for another job. But such a massive effort won’t be easy -- or cheap. So in addition to submitting your petition, I also hope you’ll agree to make a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, or $100 to Campaign for Liberty. If $100 is too much to ask right now, please make a contribution of $50 or even $25 today. Every dollar will help, and every dollar will go to this vital fight. I know times are hard, but if we don’t take action, the America we see in just a few years could look far worse than even the one we see today.. Can I count on you to join the fight to AUDIT THE FED by clicking here to sign the petition, and by making a generous contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, $50 -- or whatever you can afford -- to Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty? Sincerely, John F. Tate President P.S. Please submit the petition urging your Congressman and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on Rep. Ron Paul's Audit the Fed Bill TODAY! With Congress spending like never before, and TRILLIONS of new dollars being created out of thin air, it’s never been more important the Federal Reserve’s abuses are exposed to the American people once and for all. And, along with submitting your petition, please make a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, or $50 to Campaign for Liberty TODAY! __________________________SUBSCRIPTION INFO__________________________ This newsletter is never sent unsolicited.
