Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed Bill, H.R. 1207 was attached to another bill, H.R. 3996 last week and there was no media coverage from Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. I listened to each of their three hour programs and not one word was said about this important legislation.
Why would these two pro-conservative, highly influential media pundits not say one thing about the Audit the Fed bill winning a vote in the Financial Services Committee to be included as part of another bill? This is big news and has a real impact on our economy if it passes.
75% of Americans want this bill to pass and only 9% opposed it. 15% were not sure how to vote and I would speculate this is because they really don’t understand the Federal Reserve and what it does. Most in America don’t.
I’ve been asking Limbaugh and Hannity since July as to why they don’t support the Audit the Fed bill and they continually refuse to bring up the subject to their listeners who follow their every word.
Why don’t they support the bill?
Because it would allow the monitoring of the one entity that allows the neoconservative arm of the Republican Party to fund their beloved wars and Congress to continually spend what they don’t have. And not to leave out the neo-liberal arm of the Democrat Party as they love war too, there was also no mention of the Senate Finance Committee vote by Rachel Maddow, the Keith Olbermann Show (who had a guest host), or Joy Behar.
No Mention By the Media, So What Would an Audit of the Fed Actually Accomplish That Makes Them So Afraid?
It is the Audit of the Fed that is necessary to keep the Fed from handing out favors to connected individuals and keeping failed businesses afloat. But it is the End of the Fed that is necessary to keep Americans from experiencing these boom and bust cycles and depreciation of our currency via inflation that really has them scared.
Auditing the Fed is the first step in taking back control from the folks who cause the problems to begin with. Ending the Fed will guarantee that Congress doesn’t possess the tools that are turning us into serfs.
There is no way in hell the health care bill will pass if Congress had to actually use tax dollars to fund it. There is no way in hell that our troops would be in 130 nations and we’d be fighting two wars and threatening more if Congress actually had to use tax dollars to fund them.
How is it that Limbaugh and Hannity don’t ever mention this?
How is it that most in the media don’t mention this? Why are some so upset that this bill is garnering bipartisan approval?
Watch this video and see what Senator Judd Gregg (NH) had to say about the Fed on CNBC. He said that “one of the great strengths of our nation is an independent Fed.” Nothing could be further from the truth folks. It is individuals like Senator Gregg that are fooling you into thinking the Fed is necessary for monetary policy. Is it any wonder that Gregg also believes that the War on Terror and WMD are of greater concern than the deficit and voted yes on the Bush bank bailout bill. The Fed is at the root of the problem, not the solution.
These are the people that we elected who are in collusion with the Fed as their adamant support of the Fed allows them to continue to fleece the American public.
What would Congress be able to do without the Fed?
The only real answer to this would be, live within their means. Wouldn’t the dollar automatically be stronger and maintain its purchasing power if this were to occur?
Does the Fed Existence Interfere With Your Freedom?
I believe that those of us who truly want personal liberty, limited government, free markets and a strong national defense will be continually pressed to follow the Limbaugh and Hannity mantra of war unless we curtail the entity that gives Congress the ability to fund wars.
It is through the exposure of Limbaugh and Hannity’s lack of support for a bill that can change the course of America forever that I hope to win over those who have been swayed away from what the Republican Platform used to stand for; Limited Government, Fiscal Conservatism, Personal Liberty and a Strong National Defense and get them to return to their Republican roots of getting us out of wars and living within our means.
The goal here is to take back the Republican Party from those who hijacked it.
It is only through this kind of action that we can return America to what it used to be and build her back up with a strong foundation built upon a fiscally responsible Congress. I will be going into more detail on this in my forthcoming book, “Fed Up!”
What Needs to be Done Now
The way to get the things on the right track is to keep exposing the economic weakness of the Left. But at the same time, mandating that the candidate for the Right will hold true to fiscal responsibility. Not George W. Bush fiscal responsibility, but fiscal responsibility that any educated individual can get behind.
No candidate from either party can hold to fiscal responsibility until the means to which they are allowed to spend more than they have loophole is closed. The “means” referring to the Federal Reserve.
This Audit the Fed bill would be the first step to tie the hands of all candidates, both left and right and again, is something that only 9% of Americans oppose.
Flashback January 2008
There was a candidate for President that did have all the answer of what our nation needed to do. He was the only Republican candidate that wanted to “just bring our troops home.” He was the only Republican candidate that understood economics and schooled John McCain on economic policy.
Yet this candidate was mocked by Sean Hannity. He was never promoted on either Limbaugh’s or Hannity’s shows.
His name is Ron Paul.
I used to continually debate people on Michelle Malkin’s website warning them that the Republicans don’t stand a chance of winning with the same pro-war mantra that lost them the House and Senate in 2006. This prediction came true as John McCain, the one who wanted to “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran” was soundly defeated by Obama.
Now we are stuck with a nightmare of spending that if the People don’t start pressuring their Congressman soon, will lead to major problems for the dollar.
My first blog, January of 2008 was in support of Ron Paul and his “message.” The Ron Paul rEVOLution, Super Tuesday and “The Message!”
I was warning people back then as to what the Fed can do to cause harm to our nation. The message then was about “eliminating the tool of destruction, the Federal Reserve.” Just look what has happened since then! Now the Fed wants even more power. Don’t let them have it!
Implore your Congressman to make sure this Audit the Fed Bill passes….or else make sure they are replaced by a Freedom Loving candidate who understands economic policy and monetary policy! This candidate may not have the financial backing of the military industrial complex and those Wall Street and Union lobbyists, but they only need your vote. Do your homework and find out who they are and what they stand for. Ask questions!
For more information on asking your current Congressman questions and directing them to do what most in America want, Audit the Fed, contact them via the Campaign For Liberty website.
Hannity and Limbaugh need to support the Audit of the Fed bill to be taken seriously in their attempts at being “conservatives.” Remember, they really didn’t say too much when Bush was doing all his spending and taking away our liberties.
Hold their feet to the fire and continually ask them why they don’t support it. I believe I know the answer, but I’d like to finally hear for once their take on it. It’s been over three months and I don’t expect to hear them talk about it anytime soon.
Are we supposed to believe they are in the best interest of Conservatives when they won’t advertise getting rid of the one main entity, the Federal Reserve, that is bringing down our nation?
I’ll give you the answer from Sean Hannity now….
Comment by Doug Digger Eberhardt on 8 August 2009:
I decided to join Sean Hannity’s discussion forum and ask the question why Hannity doesn’t support H.R. 1207.
Here’s the questions I asked:
Why doesn’t Hannity support the Audit the Fed bill?
I’d like to see him support it too, but I think there’s more to it than meets the eye. I wrote an article on the subject recently.
Maybe he doesn’t want to be associated with anything to do with Ron Paul, the author of the bill?
Yet over 60% of the House supports the bill and 75% of the American people do according to a Rassmussen poll.
I’d just like to hear if anyone has heard him even talk about it…
The result? Click the following url to see:

For those that can’t click or can’t read it, the result was that I was “banned for life.”
I guess Hannity doesn’t like it when he’s challenged…
Audit the Fed then End the Fed!
Feel free to comment and discuss….
