This is the second time Ron Paul has introduced this type of Bill to abolish the Fed.

Quote from jefferson:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of our currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing of power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

What a fool. He’s making a joke of himself, and he’s the only one who doesn’t get it.

Only problem with that is that "the people" means Congress. They got us surrounded.

Doing the same thing over again expecting different results=insane.

I support his allegiance to the constitution and his patriotism. His bill should make for interesting debate...that is if Republicans don’t pull a liberal tactical maneuver and kick him out of the debates. Many freepers certainly could learn something about the constitution from him.

And in other news, future Ron Paul sponsored legislation includes:

- The Pony Express Preservation Act. There is an urgent need to increase the number of horses and ponies for the use of the United States Postal Service, and this bill will provide tax credits for all horse breeders who provide equine conveyances for the benefit of the U.S.P.S. Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night.

- Steam Locomotive Fuel Initiative. This bill will encourage American families to donate a lump of coal to the railway carrier of their choice, so that clean, coal-burning steam locomotives can remain viable for transporting people and cargo across our great Land.

- Emergency Telephone Repair Act. This legislation addresses the vital need for Americans to be able to summon emergency services to their home should their telephone cease to function properly. The ETRA will provide to every American telephone user a technical schematic demonstrating how to construct an improvised crank for their telephone should the standard crank break off or cease to ring the operator properly.

Congressman Ron Paul. The right man for the right time.

If you don’t mind that time being the year 1901.

I want to build a time machine for poor Ron Paul so he can get back to the time where he belongs.

Sadly for him though, he has already exceeded the life span expectations for an 18th century male so when he gets there he may not get to enjoy "the good old days" very long.

A similar article was posted earlier, but if you want to make absolutely sure everybody knows what a flake Ron Paul is, then be my guest.

I’d certainly vote for abolishing the Federal Reserve Bank. Most Americans think that it is an agency of the government. In fact, the Fed is owned by private bankers, such as Rockefeller, Morgan, Rothschild, etc. They get a guaranteed 6% profit on all government bond sales. Many countries have eliminated private ownership of their central banks, and we should too.

It’s too bad that it takes Ron Paul to have the balls to take on this issue...

Come on, it only matters is you post pointless Duncan Hunter tomes from 20 years ago.

As for those Founding Fathers - they have no clue about all our modern problems. /s

Good idea, but it hasn’t got a chance.
