Ron Paul's "Audit The Fed" bill needs your help

http://www.endthefed.us

As you may or may not know HR 1207, the "Audit the Fed", bill is now in committee and we need to step our support efforts to get this thing to a vote on the floor.

Ron Paul's bill to Audit the Federal Reserve Bank, HR 1207, has now garnered 55 co-sponsors and has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This is a major development.

The bill will now be debated and voted upon in the Committee and will then either go to the House for a debate and vote or will be defeated. MOST BILLS DIE IN COMMITTEE FOR LACK OF SUPPORT. There is no way to know how long it will stay in Committee. That means it's all up to YOU. It's a major step forward for our movement to get the House to even consider a bill which questions the autonomous authority of the Fed. We MUST make the most of this opportunity!We need to step up and give the situation all our attention NOW. This is our chance to shine!

April 27th: Audit the Fed! Melt the Switchboard Day
On Monday, April 27th we will follow up our nationwide End the Fed! rallies with an "Audit the Fed! Melt the Switchboard Day".We must all call in on that day and get EVERYONE we know to also call in to our Congressional Representatives.
The Congressional Switchboard number is: 1-877-851-6437

Let's focus particularly on the members of the House Financial Services Committee.
Let's also call to PRAISE and APPLAUD those Representatives who have Co-Sponsored the HR 1207.

FORWARD AND POST THIS EVERYWHERE. Word needs to be spread virally NOW. This needs to be posted on your Meetup, Facebook, MySpace, RTR or other groups as an Event NOW. This needs to be Twittered and YouTubed NOW! Let's move, soldier! CARPE DIEM! We don't get many chances like this one! It's GAME TIME!

With opportunity to for those attending to ask questions and offer their ideas.

7:00 pm Friday April 10th
At the Watley Center north Business 37 Cassville

ERIC VOUGHT

We welcome you, and look forward to working with you to protect liberty and to return our nation to more Constitutionally based principles. We need to be about more than changing votes: we need to be changing lives, starting with our own.

I am going to be very focussed on action: action in our communities, actions to change our own lives to match what we are saying.

The monied interests have been taking our freedom a little at a time by starting so many fires we cannot possibly put them all out. We need to use the same technique to get our freedom back: have so many efforts on so many fronts pushing from so many directions: private charity and personal compassion, sustainable and fiscally responsible community, sound money, home school and private education, free speech and freedom to practice our religion, protection of the second amendment. citizen initiatives and referenda, strong local candidates for office, that they cannot possibly stomp them all out. Only that way can we save our troubled national government and only that way does it cease to matter one way or another what they do in Washington.

For further information you may contact Dan Lee at 669-2036

If you find this of interest to you, your friends may also. Please forward this e-mail to anyone you think may like to attend.

A Medical Version of the Patriot Act?

A very important wake-up call for you today...

Read "A Medical Version of the Patriot Act?" at the Campaign for Liberty website.

Our own dearly beloved fat-cat-criminal-in-politician's-clothing, "Representative" Roy Blunt, gets special mention...
"Yet politicians tell us not to worry. Actually, privacy is very lucrative for congressmen: they reap millions of dollars when they betray it. Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) each received more than a million dollars in contributions from health professionals and the pharmaceutical industry since 2000, and each sponsored industry-favored amendments in the stimulus bill that would undermine patient privacy, the Washington Post reported. Campaign contributions will ultimately determine how centralized health data is used. "
However, Bailout Blunt and his "pay-to-play" style of "Representation" isn't even the worst of the news...
"The ultimate goal of the Obama program is "the utilization of a certified electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014," as the stimulus legislation states. But having a massive electronic database will make it far easier for the government to coerce both doctors and patients. This is a peril as bad as or worse than the Patriot Act. "
...
"The issue is not whether the personal health information government commandeers will be abused. Instead, it is simply a question of when, where and how it will be exploited."

C4L Staffer Detained in St. Louis - Video Goes Viral

April 6, 2009

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Campaign for Liberty’s very own Steve Bierfeldt has become an unexpected Internet sensation -- and the latest target of over-reaching federal government agents.

You see, Steve was detained by Airport Police and TSA officials shortly after the Campaign for Liberty regional conference in St. Louis.

The officials rudely berated and harassed Steve for 30 minutes in a secluded room at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. Fortunately, Steve was able to record nearly all of the interrogation with his cell phone.

Steve’s alleged “crime”? Carrying $4,700 in checks and cash from Campaign for Liberty, along with various other materials from our conference.

The local and Federal agents harassed Steve. They were belligerent, cursing and using insulting language. They threatened to turn Steve over to the DEA and the FBI, all the while refusing to inform him of his legal rights or explain how cash and checks threatened airplane or airport security.

Throughout the interrogation, Steve remained polite but resolute and declined to answer the invasive questions without an adequate explanation from these federal and local agents as to why they needed to be answered. Without telling Steve what law he was accused of breaking, they continued their harassment.

Although they grew increasingly frustrated that he remained committed to exercising his rights, intervention from another officer eventually led the police to reluctantly release Steve.

Last Wednesday, Steve appeared on Judge Napolitano’s Freedom Watch to discuss the flagrant violation of his rights and to promote the importance of each of us defending our civil liberties.

Now, Steve’s appearance on Freedom Watch – which features several minutes of the audio tape – has gone viral.

Click here to watch the segment, which has become one of the most viewed videos on YouTube.

Steve’s ordeal is a reminder to all patriots that liberty is constantly under fire, and we must remain vigilant and prepared to stand up for our rights.


In Liberty,

John Tate
President, Campaign for Liberty

Vote Paul Bingham for Barry County Health Board: April 7

As we enter times of economic unrest and instability can the Barry County Health Department afford to spend our tax dollars on projects which produce uncertain returns?
Can the Health Department continue to accept grants from the Federal Government that come with expensive strings attached?

Can taxpayers continue to sustain the expension of their dollars on experimental programs like World Breast-Feeding Month, which the Health Board observed by hiring Bi-lingual Breast-Feeding Peer Counselors, and the attempted introduction of onerous regulations like last years Temperary Food Service Permit for non-profit organizations, including Churches?

Let’s make sure that in times of economic uncertainty the Barry County Health Board will take a prudent and conservative approach to safeguarding the rights, health and property of the citizens of Barry County?

Vote for

Paul Bingham

Barry County Health Board.
