Ron Paul: Time is Running Out!

Dear Friends,
Whenever a Great Bipartisan Consensus is announced, and a compliant media assures everyone that the wondrous actions of our wise leaders are being taken for our own good, you can know with absolute certainty that disaster is about to strike.
The events of the past week are no exception.
The bailout package that is about to be rammed down Congress' throat is not just economically foolish. It is downright sinister. It makes a mockery of our Constitution, which our leaders should never again bother pretending is still in effect. It promises the American people a never-ending nightmare of ever-greater debt liabilities they will have to shoulder. Two weeks ago, financial analyst Jim Rogers said the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made America more communist than China! "This is welfare for the rich," he said. "This is socialism for the rich. It's bailing out the financiers, the banks, the Wall Streeters."
That describes the current bailout package to a T. And we're being told it's unavoidable.
The claim that the market caused all this is so staggeringly foolish that only politicians and the media could pretend to believe it. But that has become the conventional wisdom, with the desired result that those responsible for the credit bubble and its predictable consequences - predictable, that is, to those who understand sound, Austrian economics - are being let off the hook. The Federal Reserve System is actually positioning itself as the savior, rather than the culprit, in this mess!
• The Treasury Secretary is authorized to purchase up to $700 billion in mortgage-related assets at any one time. That means $700 billion is only the very beginning of what will hit us.
• Financial institutions are "designated as financial agents of the Government." This is the New Deal to end all New Deals.
• Then there's this: "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency." Translation: the Secretary can buy up whatever junk debt he wants to, burden the American people with it, and be subject to no one in the process.
There goes your country.
Even some so-called free-market economists are calling all this "sadly necessary." Sad, yes. Necessary? Don't make me laugh.
Our one-party system is complicit in yet another crime against the American people. The two major party candidates for president themselves initially indicated their strong support for bailouts of this kind - another example of the big choice we're supposedly presented with this November: yes or yes. Now, with a backlash brewing, they're not quite sure what their views are. A sad display, really.
Although the present bailout package is almost certainly not the end of the political atrocities we'll witness in connection with the crisis, time is short. Congress may vote as soon as tomorrow. With a Rasmussen poll finding support for the bailout at an anemic seven percent, some members of Congress are afraid to vote for it. Call them! Let them hear from you! Tell them you will never vote for anyone who supports this atrocity.
The issue boils down to this: do we care about freedom? Do we care about responsibility and accountability? Do we care that our government and media have been bought and paid for? Do we care that average Americans are about to be looted in order to subsidize the fattest of cats on Wall Street and in government? Do we care?
When the chips are down, will we stand up and fight, even if it means standing up against every stripe of fashionable opinion in politics and the media?
Times like these have a way of telling us what kind of a people we are, and what kind of country we shall be.
In liberty,
Ron Paul
A Trillion is
a LOT more than you think or want to be responsible for to pay back.

Do you realize
how much a trillion dollars is? Here is a graphic representation that brings it home:

Ron Paul says what we want to hear, but offers no action
He says that the government is chosing to end the country as we know it...and his solution: ask the government to stop.
Please.
That is like asking a mugger to stop mugging you. "I am mad as hell that you are mugging me and I urge you to stop it!"
He's offered solutions so many times...
I can't agree with you on what you said. To counter somewhat though, what would you have him do? Maybe he could hire Superman to slap Congress around or raise George Washington from the dead and have him speak to Congress, perhaps?
What the hell can he personally do besides what he's already doing?
Maybe it's what WE should be doing......
Puppets come and puppets go but the world's stage is getting cluttered.
Then he should say that
Not say that time is running out...it has run out. The country ran away from its founding principles over a century ago! Say that!
Say if you want to live truly free...move to another country...or try violently overthrowing the government.
That is what needs to be said.
I've started looking at other countries. Indeed, I've found that there is a pretty big movement to Australia and New Zealand. I'll have to check out their land ownership laws.
He has said it many times
He has said it many times before. Where you been?
Violence has no place in changing things. We are beyond that now. The American people have so much more power than violence.
They have to have us buy SHIT to keep this monster going. Now more than ever nationwide boycotts would have an affect. People still aren't organized enough or care enough to have a voice in that way.
Puppets come and puppets go but the world's stage is getting cluttered.
Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else
Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst.
More important than buying stuff is their plan to keep us working for as little as possible.
It started decades ago:
-low unemployment rates
-cost of living increases are typically double the increases in compensation
-welfare for baby factory projects creating more uneducated unskilled, "cheap" labor to keep compensation down
-but that wasn't fast enough so they started allowing illegal immigrants in by the millions to keep compensation down
The US is a fucking labor camp...a plantation...oh you don't have to worry about finding work...just finding a job that pays enough to support a family.
Only Toby asks Master to ease up on him...
I say it's time to kill Master and his whole family.
If God helped Moses and
If God helped Moses and Joshua defeat the Canaanites maybe He would help us clear out the present day Philistines too..

NC Dumbasses
Burr...Dole...McHenry
Burr isnt taking sides till he can 'view at least part of the full report'
Dole isnt taking sides but 'assures people she is for the people and would never agree to anything that would hurt the tax payers of NC'....I wonder how she keeps her nose from growing?
McHenry...'Supports the economy..and will be sure to do what he feels is best right after he consults with the bankers'
Those where quotes folks...Damn dumbasses. I wonder if the question should be..How much will they..members of Congress and the Senate..on a private level..profit.
Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.
I believe in Hope & Change..I Hope the government will Change
In VA
I've bombarded Warner, Webb and Cantor several times a day since yesterday. Faxes, e-mails, and phone calls. Also e-mailed the senate banking committee, Shelby, Schumer as well as the house banking/finance committee. Told all of them "NO BAILOUT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!"
Tried to get through to the White House but got "all circuits are busy".
The fact that Boy George is going to speak to the country tonight indicates they're scared. As soon as the Village Idiot finishes his 9 pm diatribe, I'll contact all of my congressional reps again.
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE, PATRIOTS!!!!
zhc you are what America is
zhc
you are what America is about and stands for.
One to get off his arse and do something about it,
stands up for what he believes in.
Hats off to you
I sent emails one right after another to everyone in state office.
The phone lines were busy all day, thats waht happens when you take the
phone off the hook and take the day off.
"The Only President to save my kids future"
Do you know what happens when
you give a procrastinator a good idea?
Nothing!
Will Bush take any questions?
I hope but doubt that he will take questions after his speech. It may be good that he is trying to rally people behind this new measure - he is hated and has absolutely no credibility.
I hope people are not stupid enough to forget that just a couple of weeks ago he addressed the Republican convention and said "the economy is sound." Was he stupid or lying or both?
END the FED before it ENDS US
The unvarnished truth.
Once again Dr. Paul states the obvious but completely unacknowledged truth. Why must he always be the lone voice crying in the wilderness; the little boy who sees and proclaims that the emperor has no clothes?
Well at least there is one side benefit to all this:
If there were ever any doubt in our minds about the existence of a virtual Conspiracy, to subvert the constitution, bankrupt the United States, and enslave the American people; the response of our political and journalistic leaders to this current financial debacle must surely remove all doubt.
Stupidity and greed can only explain so much.

TAKE COPIES OF THIS LETTER REMOVE ANY REFERENCES
TO RON PAUL, FROM THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM. Send it to everyone you can, and make sure the link works. By removing the references to Ron Paul, everyone will read it. Even those that would delete it as soon as they saw the name Ron Paul on it. I have sent it to a few that way. Read it once that way, without the references, and see how much more likely it is that ANYONE would listen.
Please! Get on it. Make just the body of the text go viral.
Just did that bigmikedude
and posted it in the online response section in the Australian online newspaper http://www.news.com.au/. The headline of that article is: Hands up: who wants $840bn.
I already did send it...
I already did send it... however without editing out references to or Dr. Paul's name... oh well... if they want to keep their heads in the sand it's up to them... even the MSM is listening to RP!
The republicans have been
The republicans have been emailing me all day about this bail out. I forwarded Ron's letter with a link listing their representative's contact information. I too wondered if they would read it. But I added a comment that pointed out that all of a sudden Ron Paul is all over the airwaves with news sources asking his opinion about the bail outs. I also included this You tube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d73KlhUq1W8
I just called my Senators and Rep
all lines were busy.
Edit....just got thru to Kay Granger's office....of course she hasn't seen the whole package and is reserving her opinion til then. What a copout. All they did was ask for my zip code and added me to the tally "against" it.
Reached John Cornyn's office. Basically a canned statement that he is against using taxpayer money to bail out private companies. So I asked, "so, he's voting "No"?' That's when I got that he hasn't seen the actual bill yet and will make a statement then. Also took my zip and registered my opinion.
THIS IS IT!!!
Disaster strikes either way: Bailout or no. The question is do you want it over quickly or do you want a decade long depression?
A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take away everything you have. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Question/Idea
Along with calling the idiots that hold office...Shouldn't we also be calling major newspapers...leaving messages to the editor...letting him/her know that WE THE PEOPLE are calling Washington...We do NOT want the bailout..and why...And that We demand you put this in the news...where it will be read..and NOT buried on a back page under some stupid little add? Also..Alert TV stations..local and national...The same for radio if it can be done.
Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.
I believe in Hope & Change..I Hope the government will Change
Ron is pissed
"It makes a mockery of our Constitution, which our leaders should never again bother pretending is still in effect."
Oh boy now the shit is hitting the fan.....
FIGHT TIME!
Bump
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
No Bail Out - send email right now - takes One Minute - goes to your Reps www.votenobailout.org
RE-PAULICANS UNITE!
Let's face it...The ONLY reason we are here is Dr. Ron Paul.
So I am riding out in front of our army on my horse, yelling and waving a flag to get your attention!!!
THIS will be our LAST CHANCE to ever vote for him for President.
So WE MUST UNITE and WRITE-IN RON PAUL.
FORGET about 3rd, 4th, 8th or ANY OTHER PARTIES.
NONE of the other candidates, 3rd party or other, understand economics like Ron Paul.
But MAKE SURE you verify with your state elections commission, the CORRECT way to write him in so your vote counts.
Example:
In Washington State you must write in the following info IN THIS ORDER:
1. Candidate (Ron Paul)
2. Office (President)
3. Party affiliation (Republican)
Then it WILL be counted here. Each state may have its own rule, so check it out before just writing in Ron Paul.
PLEASE pass this on---Let's get the movement started.

I told my congressional
I told my congressional crackpot(Earl Blumenauer) The I personally intend to pursue TREASON charges against every vote for the bailout. This is absolutely no less than being sold off as slaves. I let them know I didn't wanna hear any double talk about "oversight" like the left always wants to goof things up with. "let them hang by their own Petard" were my words.
Called my senators and
Called my senators and representative twice today and once yesterday.
This shit ain't flying and the pressure we're putting on our representatives is forcing the president to put out some bullshit lies tonight about how we "need" this bailout.
Horsehockey. The whole country that's informed and who have called will just call again tomorrow.
It's going to backfire just like the immigration plan.
Funny thing is, I don't see Grassfire.org writing it's e-mail list about this, because:
a: it doesn't understand the significance or
b: it's just a political shill movement

Sir/Madame,
Please let it be known that if you vote for the bailout that is currently being proposed by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury secretary Henry Paulson, I will hold you accountable and vote against you in the next election cycle.
Instead, it would be helpful for the United States in general, and (Your State Here) in particular, if you were to propose legislation that would abolish fractional reserve banking, abolish the Federal Reserve, abolish the income tax, and return to gold and silver--money that is mandated by the United States constitution.
Sincerely,
(Your Name Here)

Tell them to vote against
I always instruct my senators and representatives to either vote for or against something and I make sure that they know that a vote of 'not present' or 'not voting' or abstention isn't good enough. That way there is no way they can weasel out by just not voting.
All of you tell your senators and representatives who are campaigning in their states to get their asses back to DC and VOTE AGAINST this crime against America.

Everybody listen up.
Everybody listen up. Ron Paul is the man!! The truth is spoken about the ugly bunch called the political class, and the bought and paid for media. Even within this mess, Ron Paul has the solution. It is in the message of liberty, it is in the US constitution. But most importantly, all falls and stands with the people who say " no more!". Save your children, save your family, your friends, your country, the world!! Let his/our message spread everywhere.

I CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR MY "FREEDOM"
I have emailed/call the whitehouse with my protest of the $700 Billion Bailout of Wallstreet. I have also call my senator, congressman, and governor with my protest. I have also submitted to the "Google Project 10 100) a proposal suggesting a donation to Veterans Fund if the Republicans and Democrates agreed to let the most popular 3rd Party candidates into the current Presidential Debates. I will not quit until my "Freedom" is restored!!! The Revolution Is Coming!!!

harsh
The words here from Ron Paul are uncharacteristically, but appropriately, harsh. Do you watch your child being raped and ask politely that the rapist please stop?
Go Ron Paul!!!
WE need a list of who votes in favor and vote them out of office.
In liberty!
Kent Snyder certainly did the country a favor by convincing Ron Paul to run again this cycle.
Right man, right time, right now. Now if we can somehow get him in the right place.
I called my senators
I told each of their reps I would not be supporting them in their next elections if they supported this bailout.
Me too. I made it quite
Me too. I made it quite clear they will lose my vote if they vote pro-bailout and I will actively encourage others to not vote for them.
i did it too
we have a choice
