Kinda takes the wind out of the “there is no NWO of other controlling entity” crowd. What else explains this other than some one not elected did not want it to happen.

The tea parties could be the platform from which to launch grassroot campaigns to recall senators like Shelby Grassley and Lindsey.
“Honorable” Senator Shelby,
We have today launched a campaign to recall your sorry ass for attempting to obstruct the will of the people to have transparency in govt. We the people have a right to know what is going on in the federal reserve involving our taxes, our economy, and our monetary system. We the people have demanded a complete and thorough audit of the federal reserve system. While you Senator, in flagrant fashion, are attempting to obstruct such an audit in order, we must assume, to protect someone, or some group, or perhaps even yourself, from disclosure of illegal activities perhaps involving corruption at the highest levels of govt. Nothing else can explain your attempt to limit the scope of an audit of the federal reserve.
We ask you Senator, when the IRS audits one of your constituents, have you introduced legislation to limit it’s scope?

More like "divide and conquer".They put a lot of effort to keeping things evenly divided. It keeps us all yelling at each other than taking pitchforks to those truely responsible for what is going on.

“Those who sell their liberty for security are understandable, if pitiable, creatures. Those who sell the liberty of others for wealth, power, or even a moments respite, deserve only the end of a rope... Americas historic misfortune is that her people have seldom been equal to the ideals upon which their nation was established. “ L. Neil Smith, The American Zone (2001)

Very well spoken. That’s one of his I haven’t yet gotten. Thanks!

"Where is the news source quote for this??? So far I see only the words of a blogger..."
This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy. I edit a news and commentary site connected with a local radio show here and Vermont. There are a lot of "news" items that I would like to include on our site but the practice of documenting sources is virtually non-existent among conservative bloggers. I have been bitten by too many false alarms to post anything without documentation. In several blogs it is alleged that the source is Senator Grassley's website. I could not find it when I went to his website. A number of blogs repeat this but none offer any links. I did find an article on the Huffington Post that at least has a copy of the document at the bottom of the page. I would still prefer a link to the actual document. If it has been pulled down, then explain this but ALWAYS provide a link!

Nope, as expected.
It was the thought that counts, though. :o)
