Update - S 604 - 32 Co-sponsors

The current members of the Senate are not going to allow an audit of the Fed. We must recognize that fact and target each and every one of them when they come up for re-election and remove them from office. I am sick and tired of being insulted by our elected officials. Example:

Dear Mr. Wilson:

Thank you for contacting me about the nomination of Ben Bernanke to serve as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

The constitution charges the Senate to provide "Advice and Consent" on the President's nominees. I don't take this duty lightly. Presidential appointees are responsible for implementing a wide range of policies that directly impact Americans. When nominees come before the Senate, I conduct a thorough review of their qualifications and experiences to ensure that only the most qualified nominees receive my support.

I voted for Mr. Bernanke because of the skill he demonstrated in preventing an overwhelming financial crisis from turning into a full-fledged economic depression. I was also concerned about the potentially destabilizing effect on financial markets and our fragile economic recovery if Mr. Bernanke's nomination was rejected. However, I still have concerns about some of the Federal Reserve’s policies, including transparency, small business lending, and executive compensation. I intend to work with my colleagues in the Senate to address these issues legislatively.

I appreciate hearing your concerns and will keep them in mind when considering future nominees. Please don't hesitate to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,
Senator Bill Nelson

How shameful that this has a 3.9 rating! Why would people rate this low?

We can never have a free country with a corrupt monetary system, because the monetary system is the heart of a society.

Keep calling your Senators!

Perhaps we should hammer Scott Brown to make it one of his first actions!

I am told another senator signed on...Ron Wyden (OR.)

The vote today for Ben Bernanke's confirmation convinces me that the Senate has no intentions of changing the Fed and the way it does business. They are enablers. They have allowed the biggest theft in world history to occur on their watch.

I do not feel that it is the voter's responsibility to prove that they deserve to keep their jobs, on the contrary, everyone of them should be required to prove-- by their deeds -- that they are trustworthy and deserve to remain in office or be fired. Every Senator up for reelection this year should be targeted and kicked out of office -- bar none. It is way past time to clean out the parasites.

If these wimps wouldn't hold up the nomination for a lousey audit, they are not going to support S.604. They will simply use it to campaign.

THIS IS CRAP AND IT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN!!!!!!!

If they stuck to their guns, Bernanke would not have been confirmed.

I sent the following letter to Bill Nelson:

Dear Senator Bill Nelson

I am writing to encourage you to vote against the confirmation of Ben Bernanke, and Co-sponsor the S. 604 Federal Reserve transparency bill.

As you know many Florida residents are suffering from the economic crisis. My wife lost her job last year and we have lost our home – it is in foreclosure proceedings as I write. I have asked you to support S 604 on several occasions but you have chosen to ignore my requests.

The economic melt-down has been traced directly to the actions of Ben Bernanke/Greenspan of the Federal Reserve and others in the US Treasury Department. It was their job to prevent the financial calamity we find ourselves in today. They are responsible for the biggest theft in world history.

I have a couple of questions: If, as our financial leaders have claimed, the world economy was on the brink of collapse therefore requiring massive amounts of tax dollars, why did the US taxpayers have to foot the whole bill and prop up foreign companies/governments? Why did the citizens of foreign countries get a free ride? Did our leaders ask the leaders of foreign countries to do their part and pony-up? It appears that our government is putting everyone else’s best interest above ours.

Sincerely

Charles F. Wilson

home from work now. im in. called begich cantwell. thanks for doing this guys.

ONWARD!!!!!!

Does anyone know where I can find out what Senators are in favor of reappointing Bernanke, and which are opposed?

Bernanke confirmation wins cloture vote based on this exact break down.

.

tonite ron paul sent an urgent request to us. the first one ever. CALL SENATORS AND SAY NO RENOMINATION OF BERNAKE UNTIL THE AUDIT THE FED BILL GOES BEFORE A VOTE!

He did not say p.s. call to stop cap n trade, or to shoot the shit with us about medina, spending limits, scott brown. 501c3, u.s. bankruptcy, air america or to ask financial advise from daddywarbucks (in in your corner warbucks)or to say hit the deck thier is a HAARP lightning bolt headed for your keister!

no disrespect meant. but that stuff can wait ron pauls 30 year fight to end the fed could go down in flames tonite! He knows where our efforts will do the most good. lets listen.

KEEP BUMPED!

Now that Scott Brown has joined the Capitol Hill Club, it's time to ask the new kid on the block to declare his stand on this bill.

in the last few weeks. Clearly, senators are easier to be bought than Congressmen!

To the TOP!!!!!!

Call & bombard your Financial Service Senators

Anyone have the updated list?

I think it is time to TARGET the Senate with round the clock mail bombs, lets get to this!!

http://www.votervoice.net/Core.aspx?AID=972&Screen=alert&Iss...

This is OUR ECONOMY NOT theirs, and the Senate is where most of this corruption always goes on....

that Landrieu co-sponsored. Hopefully will have an update for I am sure she is trying to make up for the health care BS. She brought the money home. Now I hope she deep throats it and chokes on it.

Jim

I think if you post a S604 call to action thread the DP will listen. Who was making the lists before, I forgot who it was.

Yeah!

This is what we need to concentrate on. If we can get a majority of Senators, HR1207 can pass under suspension in the House, and then it is assured passage in the Senate.

We need 20 more.

plant them or post them all around the office, even inside the reps home office. walk in and hand a stack of flyers to the office manager or the person in charge. Tell him/her that your asking shop keepers in the area to have these readily available to all their customers on the counters, and that your planting signs all around the office. Tell them you are also physically protesting the office with your group and can only hope to recruit others sick of their lying and stealing as you do so. You might want to actually sue your rep, file a lawsuit for financial harm and hindering discovery as you believe the FED is a criminal enterprise and your senator is complicit in helping them
by NOT VOTING FOR A FULL AUDIT.

I contacted Franken a couple months ago about this, and I finally got an email response today. Looks like the democratic canned response made its way to Franken's office before he could make any decisions on his own.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the Federal Reserve. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this important matter, and regret the delay in responding.

The Federal Reserve plays a key role in determining the monetary policy of our country. The decisions that it makes affect every Minnesotan, from bankers and investors to workers and consumers. I share your belief that the Federal Reserve must clearly and concisely explain its reasoning when setting policy for the central bank.

S. 604, the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act, would direct the Comptroller General to audit the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of the Federal Reserve banks. However, as you might know, the Federal Reserve System is audited each and every year by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). In addition, the Federal Reserve releases its balance figures every week.

S. 604 is currently being considered in the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Although I don't sit on this committee, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind should this legislation come before the Senate.

Also, as you know, Ben Bernanke has been nominated to be chairman of the Federal Reserve for a second term. Please be assured that ensuring a sound fiscal policy and greater transparency will be my top priorities in considering his nomination.

Again, thank you for contacting me, and please don't hesitate to do so in the future on this or any other matter of concern to you.

We just need to stand on the streets in front of their home offices. That is where they get elected, that is where they don't want you. Make a sign and go stand there, get a meet up and go stand there at rush hour.

Keep the number growing.

We need to get more Senators on this Bill, lets get to work!

isn't getting much attention. Maybe a new headline or new ideas, anyone?

To ask them what they were doing to help get S 604 more co-sponsors.
I cannot think of a more important issue than saving us all from eating out of garbage bins if our monetary system collapses. Call, write, email you senators and ask them what they're doing to get every member of the senate onboard with S 604. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason the FED gets a pass on criminal activities with our money.
