Paul trying to have his say on financial crisis
Ron Paul may be flying below the radar a little, but he's still pushing his brand of populism that is very suspicious of the federal government.
These days, it's a bill he's sponsoring in Congress to require the comptroller general to audit of the Federal Reserve, which is printing billions and billions of dollars to try to prop up Wall Street, get flowing again, and boost the economy.
Paul, however, says it is a very dangerous strategy. "It is going to be a dollar crisis," he says in a new video released by his political group.
According to Paul's spokesman, the bill now has 41 cosponsors.
Paul, of course, was something of a sensation during the Republican presidential primaries last year, winning 1.3 million votes, raising a remarkable $35 million, mostly online, and attracting noticeable enthusiasm among young people.

he needs a certain amount of co-sponsors, but how many I have no idea.
pleasant surprise from Foon Rhee
in my opinion, Rhee has consistently been negative or possibly ill informed (despite receiving accurate press releases) towards Ron Paul in the past. This is actually a giant step forward!
REALLY!!!
GIANT!! I think I'll email Rhee a "Thank you".
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

Agree
Read this yesterday and my first thought was "flying under the radar" have you turned on your tv or listened to talk radio. Again, the attempt at marginializing in the first sentence. However, I re-read and overall thought it was a positive piece and decided not to respond.
True
but anything that brings more attention to HR 1207 has to be good to some extent
