July 24, 2014: House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will be marking-up Ron Paul’s #AuditTheFed bill

Dear Thomas Jefferson, Tomorrow, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will be marking-up Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 24), which was introduced in this Congress by Representative Paul Broun. This is a major step toward getting House and Senate floor votes on Audit the Fed this year. And it is a tribute to the efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you! But we cannot drop our guard! Although Campaign for Liberty staff has heard that the Committee intends to mark up a clean bill, some members have tried to amend the bill in the past to water down the audit. If we can secure victory in the committee, we can then turn up the pressure to get a last-minute vote on Audit the Fed before the August recess. Another win in the House would greatly help us force Harry Reid to finally schedule a Senate vote on Audit the Fed before the fall election. So please, call Rep. Jackie Speier at (202) 225-3531 and tell your representative to do all they can to make sure the House passes a clean Audit the Fed bill before the August recess! If your representative is on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, ask them to vote against any amendment that would water down Audit the Fed or attach unrelated issues to it. Note: Campaign for Liberty is supporting one amendment, offered by committee Chairman Darrell Issa, to remove redundant language from H.R. 24. You can see the list of Committee members here. At the beginning of this Congress, many political observers predicted that with C4L Chairman Ron Paul no longer serving in Congress, Audit the Fed wouldn’t get anywhere. But you proved them wrong! Immediately after Georgia Representative Paul Broun introduced Audit the Fed, C4L members began flooding the House with petitions, emails, and phone calls demanding their representative support the bill. And you helped make history. Because of your actions, Audit the Fed obtained the support of a majority of cosponsors for the third Congress in a row! But now is no time to rest on our laurels. You can bet the Fed and the well-heeled lobbyists for the Big Banks and Wall Street firms that benefit from Fed secrecy will keep fighting us tooth and nail to foil our attempts to get a vote on Audit the Fed. And once we get it through the House, we are going to need all the resources we can muster to turn the heat up even more on Harry Reid and wavering senators to get a vote in the Senate. With many of Reid’s Senate cronies already feeling the heat from the ObamaCare disaster, they may not want to continue to help Reid do the banksters’ bidding by blocking a bill that has twice passed the House of Representatives and is supported by nearly 75% of the American people. As you can see, we may have our best chance yet to get Audit the Fed voted on in the Senate! But first, we must win in the House, so please call your representative today. Tell them to support a clean vote on Audit the Fed. If your representative is on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, urge them to oppose any amendments that would water down or weaken support for Audit the Fed by adding unrelated issues to the bill. And if you can, please support C4L’s efforts to pass Audit the Fed with your most generous contribution of $50, $30, $20, or even $10 to help us make a final push in the House and carry our momentum into the Senate. In Liberty, Norm Singleton Vice President of Policy P.S. Thanks to the hard work of Campaign for Liberty members like you, Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) is moving in the U.S. House! Tomorrow, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will mark up H.R. 24 - a huge step toward getting a House floor vote. So please, call Rep. Jackie Speier at (202) 225-3531 and ask your representative to do all they can to make sure the House votes on a clean version of Audit the Fed before the August recess. And if your representative is on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, tell them to oppose any amendment that would water down Audit the Fed or attach unrelated issues to it. Note: Campaign for Liberty is supporting one amendment, offered by committee Chairman Darrell Issa, to remove redundant language from H.R. 24.

Diabolical Central Bank Master Plan

Is This The Diabolical "Master Plan" Behind Crushing Europe's Depositors

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/26/2013 11:07 -0400

• Jim Reid
 
• Monetary Policy
 
• Reality

Last week, when we commented on the absolutely idiotic Eurogroup proposal (now voted down and replaced by an equally idiotic "bank resolution" proposal which will see uninsured deposits virtually wiped out) to tax uninsured and insured deposits, we jokingly suggested that this may be merely the latest ploy by the legacy status quo to achieve one simple thing: force depositors across the continent (and soon, world) to pull their money out of a malevolent, hostile banking system and push that money into stocks, or simply to spend it. This would help finally defeat the biggest bogeyman of the centrally-planned reflation attempt in the past 4 years - the absolutely dismal velocity of money which drops every time the G-7 central planners inject liquidity into stocks. 

We were joking, because it would be beyond conspiratorial to suggest that a central bank could go as far as wiping out the wealth and savings of an entire nation in order to promote broken monetary policy. It would be outright idiotic and not to mention criminal. Why purposefully endanger depositors, and thus an entire financial system, just to spook them and their money? Or so we thought until we read the following just as "conspiratorial" take from Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid:

Maybe the lesson from all of this is that if you are fortunate enough to have a fair degree of money you might be better off spending it! Maybe that’s the master plan here? Boosting activity by forcing people to use their money rather than deposit it! Indeed I wonder how long it’ll be before an equity strategist suggests that this is bullish as money might now leave deposit accounts and go into equities!

Sarcastic humor or sad, insolvent reality... You decide.

Does it remind you of something you have heard or read before?  Watch the video below.  G Edward Griffin has been telling us of the sinister and diabolical central bank planners for DECADES.  Very few are listening.

Get Your Own Lobbyist! Send a Delegate to Tampa Today!

Dear Twisted Politix,

As you know, the Republican National Convention is right around the corner!

From the beginning, I’ve said this convention in Tampa will be a critical step for our R3VOLUTION.

That’s why I’ve instructed my campaign staff to offer financial assistance to our delegates who otherwise wouldn't be able to make it in order to ensure every one of them can reach Tampa.

But in order to make this a reality, can I count on you to please make a generous contribution to help as many of our campaign’s delegates as possible make it to the Republican National Convention?

As you know, the establishment hasn’t just sat still and quietly watched us take over party chapters and rack up delegates.

Their opposition has required our campaign to spend resources in Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, and Oregon to defend our gains and defeat their challenges.

And with August just around the corner, we want to make sure we can cover expenses for delegates that need help reaching the convention.

Your contribution will be put directly toward transportation, lodging, and other costs associated with getting these delegates to Tampa.

This is incredibly important for a number of reasons:

***  First, the Republican National Convention is our opportunity to plant our flag and show that our Liberty movement is the future of the GOP.

Seeing a flood of pro-liberty delegates and so many new and young faces in Tampa will respectfully send that message to the GOP establishment.

***  Second, we’re expecting a credentials battle at the Convention to ensure the national GOP doesn’t just “look the other way” at some of the dirty tricks my supporters had to deal with in many states.

I’ll need my supporters in Tampa to help ensure as many of our campaign’s delegates get credentialed as possible.

***  And finally, the Republican National Convention provides us with the opportunity to affect the Party Platform.

As you know, pro-liberty delegates will be fighting for an internet freedom plank, an Audit the Fed plank, and a plan opposing the indefinite detention of American citizens.

We may also have a battle over a plank opposing the so-called “PATRIOT” Act and undeclared wars.

Getting these crucial issues in the Republican Party Platform will not only show that we are the future of the GOP, but also perhaps even help convince some legislators who were “on the fence” on these issues to start coming our way.

That’s why I’m hoping I can count on you to make a generous contribution to help our campaign’s delegates get to Tampa.

There’s no doubt that our Liberty Movement is growing by leaps and bounds.

And it’s because of your hard work and dedication that we are the future of the Republican Party.

Thank you for all of that hard work and for everything you’ve done for my campaign!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul

CALL YOUR Congressman NOW! To Support Ron Paul's Bill to Audit the Federal Reserve!

Congressman Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill, H.R. 459, will be voted on this Tuesday, July 24, in the U.S. House!

Audit the Fed will be brought up under a "suspension of the rules."

This means the Fed's allies won't be able to offer ANY amendments to water down the bill.

But under suspension, we must have a two-thirds majority to win, so we need your help more than ever to push the bill over the top.

Audit the Fed currently enjoys the support of a majority of the U.S. House, but you and I know from experience that nothing can be taken for granted.

Please contact your representative right away and demand they vote "YES" on Audit the Fed.

What Is a Transition Town? Why Do People Think We Need One?

If you ever end up reading this book, I sure would like to know what you think.  I am just a regular guy and reading this, along with other related books you see in the TwistedPolitix Reading List, doesn't look so bad.  The idea here is to finally get out of the boom bust cycle twisted economix and war presented by our world power hungry.  That just means making your local economy more resilient to outside forces, like bribery, corruption, racketeering, fear, uncertainty and doubt.  It would resemble life in the past in the sense that we were more locally involved, but that technology would be more advanced in some areas and behind in others.  Forget Obama, Romney, or Ron Paul for now.  Just think about how this economy and life in general could improve.  This is where you go think, not disengage behind a screen.

Transition Handbook

The first of these was the Transition Handbook, by Rob Hopkins.

Patrick Holden, director of the Soil Association, describes it well:

“The Transition concept is one of the big ideas of our time. Peak oil and climate change can so often leave one feeling depressed and disempowered. What I love about the Transition approach is that it is inspirational, harnessing hope instead of guilt, and optimism instead of fear. The Transition Handbook will come to be seen as one of the seminal books which emerged at the end of the Oil Age and which offered a gentle helping hand in the transition to a more local, more human and ultimately more nourishing future.”
