Just think. To have that quote as his legacy. Sad.

"It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." — Henry Ford

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their father conquered.”
-Thomas Jefferson

"We have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it." -- Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932 (Rep. Pa)  

"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States" — Sen. Barry Goldwater (Rep. AR)

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

President Lincoln was quoted as stating, “The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity.  It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than beaurocracy.  It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.  I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear.  Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.” 

 "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." — Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President.

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it's issuance." — James Madison. James Madison

"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President [Wilson} signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized....the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill." -- Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. , 1913

"A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world--no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." — President Woodrow Wilson

"By this means government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft." — John Maynard Keynes (the father of 'Keynesian Economics' which our nation now endures) in his book "THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES
OF THE PEACE" (1920).

  "While boasting of our noble deeds were careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery. — Horace Greeley

 "The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from it's profits or so dependant on it's favors, that there will be no opposition from that class." — Rothschild Brothers of London, 1863

"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws" — Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild    

this guy is my senator... This man doesn't know it, but he just called out the liberty movement to provide him some education... what an embarrasing statement for Tennesseans to have to put up with...

the quote from Alexander is cut off... he goes on to compare it to the automotive takeover...,"its bad enough we are nosing around with the car companies." as if taking over private business in a fascist style is ok... but knowing what your central bank is doing with the american peoples' dollar... that's crossing the line...

Your emails may be much better...but here is mine:

Senator,

I was deeply disappointed to read your comments regarding the people's attempt to bring some measure of accountability and responsibility to the Fed. You likened Congressional oversight of the Fed to meddling with the car companies! How you could make such an egregious error in judgment is beyond me. Do you not know that one of your few responsibilities as our Senator is "To coin money, [and] regulate the value thereof"? And yet Congress has abdicated this responsibility and given it to a private group which is more secretive than nearly any other part of our government.

There was a reason the Founding Fathers wanted monetary policy to reside within the Congress--so that We the people would have oversight and be able to maintain a stable value of our dollar. And it is this very reason that you cite is "a bad idea"! Do you not know that the Fed's terrible monetary policy is responsible for the detrimental boom/bust cycle?

Do you not understand the power that monetary policy has in directing lives, protecting freedom, and establishing peace? Freedom can only exist so long as an honest system of money is in place. But you would have the Fed inflate our dollar until it becomes worth less than a mark in the Weimer Republic--all to pay for programs which Congress never had the authority to create in the first place.

In the coming months, when the current Fed inflation begins to really hit, and Tennesseans and Americans are struggling more and more to afford food and pay their bills, I hope you remember this email.

You are right in one thing only, Congress has no business violating contracts or regulating the auto industry to death. But as long as you maintain these inconsistent views that regulating the Fed (which is your duty) is synonymous with regulating private industry, you cannot represent we the people.

Respectfully and with much hope you will understand the significance S.604,

With that attitude, he needs to be bumped from his chair and have it filled w/someone who realizes that the seat should be filled by a public servant, not a "self"-servant!
