Think Big
Think big. Buy The Think Big Manifesto. Create what is possible.
If we don't change the world, who is going to?
It starts inside you. It's up to you to achieve your dreams.
Join a movement of big thinkers.
Do what you must. Be a revolutionary.
At first, it may be the way you think about yourself and what you're capable of. And then, as each of us experience our own personal revolution, we will join with others to bring about bigger change and global good. Stand for something... stand for something big.
"Nothing great, nothing transformative, nothing that ever shaped the common good and inspired others has ever happened except by thinking big."
— Michael Port, p. 20, The Think Big Manifesto
private bank keeping it private
The Federal Reserve: "Hello, kids. We're going to have a little talk, and it's an adult conversation. You're going to have to leave."
It's becoming obvious that these letters are coming from a script; probably, the official explanation. In these letter scripts, the Federal Reserve is asking for privacy in its dealings. They say secrecy maintains their "independence" from "political and private pressures." A cartel of wise money-changers. Sounds familiar.
But we don't have to be Einstein to realize that Federal Reserve IS the political pressure, on all our lives. They steal the value of our money, they erode our savings - the fruits of our labor, and all because they know best.
This doesn't mean that all will be well once Congress, or, should I say, if Congress finally regains the purse strings. It could be worse. That is why need a "gold" standard, right?
Leaving on a note of victory, Adam Smith, Rep. from WA-09, is one of the 12 Democrats supporting the bill. It was all due to his constituents asking him to support HR 1207. Albeit, this does not mean that a Rep. will genuinely work for the bill, as I have come to find out with Jane Harman's treatment on the issue of Albanian genocide. I'm planning to write a little something on this and will post in the ronpaulforums.com under states in WA. He has been having some town hall meetings, and that's great.

Mike Thompson NEEDS HELP
Finally I get a letter from my congressman on HR1207
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Federal Reserve. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me.
On February 25, 2009, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) introduced the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (H.R. 1207). This legislation would expand the authority of the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct audits of the Federal Reserve that include agreements with foreign central banks, deliberations and actions on monetary policy matters, transactions made by the Federal Open Market Committee and discussions or communications regarding these matters. Under current law, the GAO has audit authority over the Federal Reserve except in these enumerated areas. H.R. 1207 has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, where it awaits further consideration.
Congress created the Federal Reserve as an independent agency within the government and tasked it to carry out its responsibilities without being exposed to excessive political and private pressures. However, by law and by practice, the Federal Reserve is accountable to Congress. The Federal Reserve is not a private bank, although national banks are required to keep a certain percentage of their funds on deposit at the Federal Reserve. The seven members of the board are appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. Congress routinely monitors the Fed through formal and informal oversight activities. Also, there are numerous audits that occur regularly of the Federal Reserve Banks and the system as a whole, by staff, outside audit firms and by the GAO.
The issue of expanding the GAO's audit authority in this way has been considered by Congress before. The areas that the GAO does not audit were set aside to allow the Federal Reserve to maintain its independence from Congress and the President. Limits on the scope of GAO audit authority also allow it to keep certain information confidential because immediate disclosure of discussions or actions by the Federal Reserve could disrupt financial markets and cause panic. Even the GAO has said in the past that if Congress were to grant them expanded oversight authority, safeguards should also be put in place to ensure this information is kept confidential.
Please know that I share your concerns regarding the need for transparency in our country's economic policy. Congress is expected to consider comprehensive legislation to reform our regulation of financial markets, and the role of the Federal Reserve in our economy will be an integral part of this debate. I will keep your concerns firmly in mind as I investigate this issue further.
Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with me. Please continue to contact me on all issues of importance to you and to our district.
Sincerely,
MIKE THOMPSON
Member of Congress
I'm inclined to YouTube Mike to bits on this? Any suggestions?
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

Man, this guys is in the tank.
I saw a very similar response on another thread with a female rep from California. Susan Davis...that's it...hope some Californian runs them out of office.
"Congress created the
"Congress created the Federal Reserve as an independent agency within the government ..."
Please tell your representative it's not a gov't agency. Congress subcontracted the job to a private bank, and set them up with a monopoly.
