Please contact your two US Senators and your Congressman TODAY and tell them that you oppose the EXPANSION of Federal Reserve’s power. This is one of the most important phone calls and letters you can FAX to your Senator and Congressman.

 

I have included a sample letter and talking points as well as your Senator and Congressman’s contact information below:

 

Dear (Senator or Congressman)

 

I am extremely concerned about President Bush’s plan to give the Federal Reserve more power. Why do I oppose it?

 

Here is why I oppose it:

 

BECAUSE, the Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express. And Like Federal Express, you will not find it in the Government pages, you will find it in the business section.

 

 Because, the Federal Reserve is a PRIVATELY OWNED Central Bank.

 

Because, one of the PRIVATE SHAREHOLDERS of the FED is J.P. MORGAN BANK! And I invite you to recall that JP Morgan recently scooped up BEAR STEARNS for pennies on the dollar,  consolidating billions of dollars, while the shareholders got SCREWED, and We The People, the tax payers, get to pay for it!

 

Because it had a big hand in creating the boom and bust cycles since 1913.

 

Because it  holds much of the blame for our problems that we are experiencing in our economy.

 

Because to give extreme power to a corporation to fun a people is the very definition of FASCISM!

 

Instead of giving it MORE power, we should give it LESS power.

 

( I can Guarantee you that both TX Senators and Rep Culberson have copies of “The Money Masters” and “Money as Debt” because I gave mailed a set to their Washington offices, and hand delivered them to their Houston office. )

 

Ask them if they watched the “The Money Masters” and “Money as Debt” If they indicate they have not, ask them “WHY NOT?” and encourage them to pay attention to it.

 

We Need Monetary and Regulatory Policy Reform

• Televise Federal Open Market Committee Meetings. An institution as powerful as the Federal Reserve deserves full public scrutiny.
• Expand Transparency and Accountability at the Federal Reserve
  • Pass H.R. 2754 to require the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to continue to make available to the public on a weekly basis information on the measure of the M3 monetary aggregate and its components.

• Return Value to Our Money. Legalize gold and silver as a competing currency.
  • Level the long-term boom and bust business cycle by passing H.R. 4683, which would repeal provisions of the federal criminal code relating to issuing coins of gold, silver, or other metal for use as current money and making or possessing likenesses of such coins.

 Regulatory Reform

• Repeal Sarbanes/Oxley. It has seriously wounded our capital markets and helped make the UK a financial center at our expense.
  • Ending these misguided regulations would bring jobs flooding back to the United States
  • Pass H.R. 1049 to reform Sarbanes-Oxley and reduce the burden it places on small businesses.

 

• Repeal or Remove Costly and Unnecessary Federal Regulations. Neighbors know best how to help their neighbors.
  • We need to make it easier for community banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions to better serve their communities and to help people in these communities get access to credit and capital.
  • Pass H.R. 1869 to enhance the ability of community banks to foster economic growth and serve their communities, boost small businesses, increase individual savings, and for other purposes.

Talking points:

 

1)Today, the federal government burdens us with one of the most dangerous taxes it can impose — the inflation tax. When the federal government finds that it cannot afford its out-of-control spending, and is unwilling to directly tax the public, it resorts simply to creating the money out of thin air.

Inflating the money supply is the easiest form of financing the government. The Federal Reserve, an unelected and unaccountable private organization, pumps more dollars into the economy whenever it chooses. Because the public is forced to accept these bills, the Fed essentially gets away with legally counterfeiting. We cannot possibly expect the government to control spending when it has a blank checkbook.

This greatly benefits the politicians and special interests — they are able to finance the massive welfare-warfare state. But how does this inflation affect you?

Basic economics tells us that the more there is of a good, the less valuable it becomes. This is also true of money. The dollar is worth four cents of what it was when the Federal Reserve was created in 1913.

Day by day, every dollar you have is being devalued. You pay an inflation tax without even realizing it because you are forced by a falling dollar to pay more for goods and services.

The disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation, are some of the greatest threats facing our nation today. It is this one-two punch — Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow, and the Treasury printing money to make up the difference — that threatens to impoverish us by further destroying the value of our dollars.

By legalizing competing currencies, we can end the Federal Reserve’s stranglehold on our money supply and begin to restore value to the dollar. But Congress will continue to spend extravagantly until we the people make our views known at the ballot box.

Just think how much money you could make as a private person or group in control of an entire countries economy and the value of its dollar.

Talk about an unstable dollar and government.

Get ready for the ride of your life.

Just a little off base. You could say to some extent they are giving aide and comfort to the enemy by handing over the government duties, but it is a strech.

I would say though that it is constitutional for the congress to hand over all their duties to any one that wants them. Constitutional but no smart.

Your congress does not want to do anything hard. They are to busy running around with their pants down and their hands out like modern day bums.
