Let's Talk News

Here is the email that's been going around to everyone in the district that's been in contact with John Barrow, as he's now supporting HR1207! I want to send a shout out to everyone in the district who's been part of the petition drive, been in contact with John Barrow's offices here in Georgia (especially county coordinators Casey Tucker, Robert McGee, Kathy Pate, Bill Bennett, and Peter Zink), and his office in DC. Without your efforts, this would not be possible. Thanks also to Jesse Benton and everyone at C4L HQ who did the petition drops in DC!

This is John Barrow. Thanks for your e-mail in support of H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. I've always supported transparency and accountability in government, and that's why I'm proud to cosponsor H.R. 1207, which will allow for more audits of the Federal Reserve and will direct the Comptroller General to conduct an audit of the Federal Reserve and report its findings to Congress next year. The bill will also allow Members of Congress and the public to be better informed about the work the Federal Reserve does and will help us to see any problems that need to be addressed. If you have any further questions please contact my Legislative Correspondent, Chris Baggett. Feel free to call him at 1-202-225-2823, anytime between 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening. We hope to talk with you soon.

Thanks again-

Please note also: John Barrow is part of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of conservative Democrats in Congress. Hopefully this will set in motion a series of co-sponsorships from this group, notably the other three Blue Dogs in Georgia.

Defeating The Oligarchy

By Ethan Maas

            In 1913, a group of bankers, politicians, and big businessmen met in secret on an island off the coast of Georgia.  There they planned out a way to gain control of the United States of America and use it to usher in the New World Order.  Despite opposition from the Populist movement as well as some classical liberals and conservatives in Congress, the Federal Reserve Act passed after concessions were made that were never intended to be carried out.

            Today, Americans live in a centrally planned economy and are almost used to the bubbles that occur in the “market” every few cycles.  The security that sound money brought to America from its founding to 1933 (when the federal government seized all of the gold from private citizens in order to attempt to end a depression it created) is nonexistent today.  Inflation has risen to over 95% since 1913 and the dollar is no longer a major factor in the global economy.

            The populace is subject to constant war that is almost always waged by special interests and promoted by the higher-ups in the military-industrial complex and the war hawks from both sides of the two-party system.  The people are told that the government needs to tap their phones, search their property, and tax them heavily in order to keep them safe.  They are convinced by the corrupt scum in D.C. and the heavily controlled media that they need to have their money used in banker bailouts and senseless wars.

            In 2000, the Republican candidate ran on a platform of a humble foreign policy and reduced government spending.  Two years later, when George W. Bush invested a large amount of his personal wealth in Halliburton, a private military corporation, just before the Iraq threat was created, no one asked questions.  Barack Obama, a Kenyan-born community organizer ineligible to hold the Presidency under U.S. Law, ran on an anti-war platform.  No one bats an eye when he says he will keep troops in Iraq indefinitely, expand the nation-build in Afghanistan, and prepare to invade Pakistan.

            From these facts, there are only two possible conclusions.  Either Bush and Obama were faced with some hidden information after their respective elections that caused them to change their minds, or they are just puppets being controlled by agents of the IMF and the power brokers behind the scenes.  Since no one has ever seen any documents that support the claim that Iraq had plans to directly attack the United States, and no one has a definitive reason to invade Pakistan, the second option is most sensible.

            The Bush-Obama Administration is a farce.  They obviously only do what their handlers tell them to.  Otherwise, how could Bush say with a straight face that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and then cite 9/11 as a reason to invade less than 6 months later?  Is it humanly possible for B. Hussein Obama to string together an intelligible speech without a teleprompter?  These people should apply for jobs as the new Bert & Ernie on Sesame Street.

            Meanwhile, America is broke.  The working class pays all the taxes which are then redistributed to people who don’t work.  The people who don’t work use their welfare checks to buy illegal drugs, which are readily available.  Those people are then jailed, creating parentless families and overcrowded, overexpensive prisons.  Small businesses have to close because they and their workers can not make enough money to stay open; then they start getting handouts.

            Washington has blown over 6 trillion dollars on wars of aggression since the Clinton Administration.  The money is either printed out of thin air, borrowed from China (the worst human rights abuser on Earth), or taxed from the working class (or at least the part of the working class that isn’t broke or in jail).

            So they stretch the military thin in 600 bases around the world, then tell the American people they need to spend more on the military.  They tell them that the Iraq-Syria border needs protecting more than the American border, and they tell them that they need to pass such misnamed legislations as the Patriot Act and the Military Commission Act.

            So now citizens can be spied on, searched without a warrant, jailed without being charged, or detained and tortured as an “enemy combatant” (read the Military Commissions Act of 2006) if the President says so.  This sounds like legislation that puts the citizen first, doesn’t it?

            If we the people had any sort of discernment at all, we would ignore the fake party labels and vote every one of the fucks that supported this legislation out of office.

            Instead, we’re told to support Obama because he’s for “change”.  We’re told to support McCain because he’s a “war hero”.  How about this?  I’ll vote for McCain when he runs for the president of the War Hero Society, and look to someone who gives a shit about the Constitution and America when I cast my vote for President.

            The paradigm of Republican=Conservative and Democrat=Liberal is about as meaningless as they come.  Both parties want war, debt, and destruction, and neither care about the people.  Bush, hailed as a “conservative”, turned out to be the biggest war criminal in American history since Abraham Lincoln.  His successor, Obama, not only increased the budget for the misnamed War on Terror, but is actively seeking to expand it.

            If people look past labels and instead look at policies, they would see that these people are the same.  If we looked past the lies perpetuated by both parties and instead saw the thieving Satanists for who they really are, we would rise up in opposition to everything they oppose.

            Since the big-government pieces of shit in Washington love the bloated worker unions so much, the American people should give them a real union that hasn’t been seen in hundreds of years: a Union of citizens who are tired of the welfare, the war, the spending, the debt, the bullshit.  A Union of patriots who see the high ideals of the Constitution and the Declaration being consistently raped by neurotic scumbags like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Lindsey Graham, Bush-Obama, and the United Nations.

            What if we as citizens decided that war was only acceptable in retaliation for a credible, imminent threat to the tangible security of the United States?

            What if we saw the horrors of abortion and sought to change hearts and minds to see the unspeakable horrors that occur because of it?

            What if we quit using lame pragmatic excuses for “enhanced interrogation”/abuse/torture, and charged the terrorists who did this to us with an actual crime as intended by the Founding Fathers?

            What if we stopped listening to the media pro-establishment and learned the truth?

            What if we recognized that welfare hurts the poor more than it helps them?

            What if we acknowledged the obvious, that the Federal Government has no right to tell us what to put in our bodies, and that the War on Drugs is just as much a war on straight-edged citizens as it is on the drug users?

            What if we stopped voting for the lesser of two evils and started voting our principles?

            What if we went to work for ourselves and our families instead of waiting for a government handout?

            What if we learned the truth-that the socialist state that we have been in for nearly 100 years is unsustainable and will be the absolute death of free society?

            What if we rose up and exposed the oligarchy, the few individuals who actually determine what goes on in this country?

SUCCESS!

After all of the phone calls, faxes, letters, and hand-delivered petitions to Georgia's Rep. John Linder of CD-7, he has FINALLY signed on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 1207!

This means that EVERY Republican Congressman from Georgia is now co-sponsoring Dr. Paul's bill!

Let me just say -- CONGRATULATIONS, and a great big THANK YOU to everyone who made those contacts with his D.C and District offices. ESPECIALLY you folks who turned out on the Mass Action Day! Great job!

This was more difficult than those outside of our district might understand. Even though every other GA GOP Representative had signed on to the bill, Rep. Linder continued to tell us over and over that he "supported the bill" and would "vote for it if it comes to the floor," but he just wouldn't co-sponsor it. No one was sure of what the real reason for this was... but whatever it was, he changed his mind!

I truly believe this was because his constituents were willing to insist that he co-sponsor the bill. It's been said many times, but it bears repeating: many times, folks in government need to "feel the heat" in order to "see the light"!

So now, we need to turn our attention to the Democrats in Georgia -- especially CD-13, which is Rep. David Scott's district, who is on the House Financial Services committee. Let's roll! 

P.S. Please give Rep. Linder's office a call at 202-225-4272 or 770-232-3005, and THANK him for co-sponsoring H.R. 1207!

I spent a couple of hours this past Monday canvassing Fulton Co precinct 01B with Jesse and Jeff in an effort to gain support for HR 1207. I am happy to report that it was incredibly easy to get signatures in support of auditing the FED, even in a heavily liberal precinct.

As I was speaking to one lady about the Federal Reserve's power to print money she interjected by asking "And it probably isn't backed by anything, right?" People are starting to get the message about sound money and the importance of having real transparency in government.

I challenge each of you to canvass your neighborhood in the next few weeks. Keep spreading the word. If you live in Congressional District 6 please collect signatures thanking Tom Price for being a co-sponsor. Those of us in the 5th and 13th have our work cut out for us...

I will be working on improving some deficiencies in the current petitions, and will post an announcement with links to improved versions very soon.
