Audit the Fed Blocked by Senate Procedural Move

Posted on 07/07/2009 9:34:45 PM PDT by newbie2008

Paul, as of Tuesday, has won 245 co-sponsors to a bill that would require a full-fledged audit of the Federal Reserve by the end of 2010.

A slew of top Republicans are backing the bill, as are many Democrats.

...

Unfortunately for Paul, the bill appears to be idling in the House Financial Services Committee, which is chaired by Barney Frank, D-Mass. The bill has been sitting there, gathering co-sponsors, since Paul introduced it in late February.

Calls to Frank's office were not returned.

Barney Franks....continues to block the investigation of ACORN, continues to lie about his ultimate involvement in the ongoing housing crisis and mishandling of the banking industry, etc., etc., etc.

This man is about as corrupted of a Democrat and politician as Barry is a false prophet and definately cannot walk on water without yelling for a life jacket.

“Calls to Frank’s office were not returned.”

HOW TO CONTACT THE CONGRESSMAN’S OFFICE

To Express Your Opinion

If you would like to express your opinion on an issue or ask me to support a bill, the best way to reach me quickly is via email. It will take as long as four weeks for a printed letter to reach me because of past security threats. The House of Representatives uses advanced scanning techniques on all incoming mail. For a faster response, please call or email me.

Send an email to Congressman Frank

Most e-mails will be read on the day they arrive, and all our constituents will receive a response in as timely a manner as possible. Please be aware that due to the large volume of mail we receive, it may take several weeks for you to receive a written response.

Because of limited staff and resources, I cannot respond to emails or requests from people living outside the Fourth Congressional District of Massachusetts. For those outside the Fourth District, the most effective way to express your views is to contact your own member of Congress.

What the hell does a House committee have to do with a Senate procedural delay? This is about as dumb as blaming the actions of the House Un-American Activities Committee actions on Senator Joseph McCarthy.

When the SHTF, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bawney’s fat kiester hanging from a lamppost (BTW, NSA, it won’t be me, I don’t live in Mass or DC, I just won’t be surprised).
