Audit the Fed Sellouts: Previous Co-Sponsors Bow to Banks

HR 1207 Hall of Shame
Written by: Andrew Nappi
Tenth Amendment Center

“Yesterday, the House rejected Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed by a vote of 198-229. The Audit was included in a Republican motion to send the Dodd-Frank Fed Empowerment Act (H.R. 4173) back to committee.”- John Tate,Campaign For Liberty

The FED continues to wield power in Congress. Even some co-sponsors of HR1207 voted against it. It seems as if the enemies of freedom and liberty are in a lemming like mode to continue the weakening and hollowing out of what remains of our Constitution. Their purses are lined and re-election does not really matter any longer. They have done their part to further the betrayal of the Founder’s ideals. The promise of comfort and esteem in their transformed nation is enough to salve any thoughts of shame and disgrace.

Sadly, there are few heroes in either political party with the courage to stand up to this along with Congressman Paul. Party agenda’s dictate just how far even those “on our side” will go in the interest of Original Intent. Click Read More to See Vote.
