Please read the message below from the Campaign for Liberty and for those of you who live in Colorado, pay attention to the following section of the the text released in an email today from the C4L:

Pressure on the Democrat House Financial Services Committee members is critical! Below is a list of Democrats who have cosponsored. Please call them and urge them to vote “Yes” on the Paul Amendment. Click on their names to get their web contact information.

10. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, CO (202)-225-2645

For those in Northern Colorado call Betsy Markey this week. She is a cosponsor of HR1207 already, let her know that we want the original HR1207. For those of you on this list in other districts, call your representative this week. We have gone this far on the political landscape for auditing the fed. Now is the time to make sure this meme moves forward; both in the political world but more importantly in the minds of the people.

Ron Paul party like it is 2007!

Here is the email from the C4L:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

We have all worked so hard to make an Audit of the Federal Reserve a reality.  Together, we have led the fight to get congressional hearings, 308 cosponsors, and unprecedented attention around the country.

Now, you and I face our biggest challenge yet.  And Ron Paul needs your help!

Mel Watt (D-NC), Chairman of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, has sided with banking interests and is working to gut substantial audit provisions from H.R. 1207.  The bill Congressman Watt has sent to the full Financial Services Committee contains no audit of the Fed’s monetary policy-making authority or transparency of the Fed’s secret agreements with foreign central banks.

Without these provisions, a so-called “audit” of the Fed would be worthless.

The full Financial Services Committee is likely to vote on this bill either later this week or early next.

Congressman Paul will offer an amendment to restore the provisions contained in H.R. 1207 to audit monetary policy and activity with foreign central banks.  Thirteen of the 41 Democrats and all 29 Republicans on the Committee have cosponsored H.R. 1207, and if they hold the line, we will have the votes to win and restore our audit.

Dr. Paul has shot a YouTube video for Campaign for Liberty explaining the situation in more detail.  Click here to watch the video.

Pressure on the Democrat House Financial Services Committee members is critical!  Below is a list of Democrats who have cosponsored.  Please call them and urge them to vote “Yes” on the Paul Amendment.  Click on their names to get their web contact information.

1. Rep. John Adler, NJ (202) 225-4765

2. Rep. Travis Childers, MS (202) 225-4306

3. Rep. Steve Driehaus, OH (202) 225-2216

4. Rep. Alan Grayson, FL (202) 225-2176

5. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa, TX (202) 225-2531

6. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, FL Toll Free: 1-877-956-7627

7. Rep. Dan Maffei, NY (202) 225-3701

8. Rep. Brad Miller, NC (202) 225-3032

9. Rep. Walt Minnick, ID (202) 225-6611

10. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, CO (202)-225-2645

12. Rep. Brad Sherman, CA (202) 225-5911

13. Rep. Jackie Speier, CA (202) 225-3531

When contacting these members, remember that up to this point, these members have been allies on this issue.  A civil yet firm tone should be kept during these calls.  They should be thanked for their cosponsorship, told that Mel Watt’s changes to the bill are unacceptable, and urged to hold the line and honor their promise to support transparency at the Fed by voting “Yes” for the Paul amendment.

It is also important that we contact Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and urge them to schedule a standalone, up or down vote on the real Audit the Fed bill.

Rep. Barney Frank: (202) 225-5931

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-0100

Now is a crucial time for Audit the Fed.  If these 13 Democrats hold the line, Ron Paul and C4L can win this battle.  But, they must vote “Yes” on the Paul amendment when the full committee votes.

Together, you and I can win this fight.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

In his latest C4L update, Ron Paul discusses the H1 N1 “emergency,” health freedom, and Obama’s interesting decision.

Here is a slightly edited version of my interview with Jacob G Hornberger without the 7 minute introduction video. This starts off with the interview.

Jacob Hornberger is the president of the Future of Freedom Foundation. We talk about Robert Kahres Gold Coin tax fraud conviction, Federal Reserve, competing currencies, Libertarianism, empire and war, Obama being the 3rd term of the Bush Administration, and more.

Support the HR 1207 in the US House and S604 in the Senate to Audit the Federal Reserve.

On Wednesday, July 22, 2009, Dr. Paul appeared on MSNBC to discuss transparency and secrecy at the Federal Reserve, the historic movement to Audit the Fed, and what can be done to ensure HR 1207/S 604 pass the House and Senate.

After watching the above excellent video please contact our two Colorado Senators who have not yet cosponsored the Senate version of the Audit the Fed bill S 604, and tell them to do so and that we do not want the Federal Reserve to be a government unto itself. Six out of seven of our US representatives in Colorado are cosponsors of the House version of the bill, HR 1207. The only Colorado Representative who is not a cosponsor is Diana DeGette.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is blocked by Senate Democrat Leadership from having a vote on his amendment to audit the Federal Reserve, based on a bill authored by Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) in the House, H.R. 1207, and Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) in the Senate, S. 604.

Watch here:

The Campaign for Liberty sent out a mass email to its members yesterday about this event. In an email from John Tate of the Campaign for Liberty sent out on July 6th, 2009:

Earlier today, the first shot in our battle to pass Audit the Fed through the U.S. Senate was fired on the Senate floor by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina.

Senator DeMint, who has a well-deserved reputation for taking the battle to the other side in the Senate, once again proved why he is such a valuable ally in our fight to bring transparency and accountability to the Federal Reserve.

A little while ago, the Senate voted to pass HR 2918, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act. This $3 billion bill contains, among many other things, provisions for GAO audits on certain agencies.

Seizing on a chance to take quick action to bring Audit the Fed up for a vote, and with the GAO provisions in mind, Senator DeMint attached the full text of S 604, the Senate version of Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, to HR 2918 as Senate Amendment 1367 before it was considered for final passage.

However, Senate Democrats refused to even allow a vote on the amendment! That’s right. The internationalist, Fed-loving elite in the Senate used a parliamentary tactic to shut down DeMint’s amendment.

After Senator DeMint brought Audit the Fed to the floor, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska raised a “point of order” to prevent a vote, claiming that the amendment violated Senate Rule 16 by “legislating” on an appropriations bill. The Senate president agreed, and the amendment was shot down.

Senator DeMint did not back down, though, and directly challenged Senate leadership by pointing out the other GAO audits contained in the bill. As Senator DeMint listed them off, the Senate president was forced to agree with Senator DeMint that each one he described, all of which would be left in for final passage, also violated Senate Rule 16.

Which tells us at least one thing: the problem wasn’t with “legislating” on the bill or violating Senate Rules (which is commonly done). Shooting down the amendment was about preventing a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve for the first time in its history!

Colorado Representative Betsey Markey representing the 4th Congressional District becomes the 244th cosponsor of Ron Paul’s HR 1207 Audit the Fed bill as of June 25th, 2009. Adding in Ron Paul as the sponsor that makes 245 out of 435 Representatives signed on to this bill which is currently in the Finance committee. That is 56.32% of the House.

Thank you Betsey Markey for taking this important step for our country.

You can see for yourself at the Library of Congress web site page that is tracking this page here:

This bill is important because right now, due to a US Code it is not possible for our representatives in Congress, nor any other agency to fully audit the Federal Reserve. The “Audit the Fed Bill” H.R. 1207 would strike portions of US code, 31 USC 714, and order an audit of the Federal Reserve. We need transparency NOW. The private Federal Reserve is creating Trillions of dollars NOW and we need to know what this internally secretive organization is up to and what is on their books, as they are playing with all of our futures and value of the dollar.

Thank you Northern Colorado Liberty Group – your efforts helped us educate our Representative. Here is a video from April:
