1776. . .
That's what the dollar price of gold hovered at over the recent 4th of July Holiday.
With headlines like one from Bloomberg recently stating "A Crash in the Dollar is Coming," it shouldn't be a surprise precious metal values are rising.
But seeing it -- on such a special day for our country -- it burns me up how shameful it is our Republic is closer than ever to being driven over the edge of a cliff.
Especially since it could be avoided.
I believe it's not too late if I can count on enough patriots like you to step up today.
Will you please complete Campaign for Liberty's Audit the Fed petition at once that I've prepared to go to your U.S. Representative?
You see, the National media elites blather on about COVID-19 and tell us this pandemic and "racism" are the culprits behind the economic and social disaster our country is careening toward.
But the truth is, the Federal Reserve and the fiscal house of cards politicians in BOTH parties have built over the years is what's brought our country to the brink.
Now it's up to liberty-loving Americans like you and me to avert disaster by taking the battle to the heart of Washington, D.C.'s Big Government Leviathan -- the Federal Reserve itself!
From the constant economic crises, to Congresses' un-ending spending sprees and cronyism, to hoop-after-bureaucratic-hoop the IRS and their bureaucrat pals insist you and I jump through, to the "hidden" tax of inflation devaluing the fruits of your labor and robbing you from your pursuit of happiness. . .
. . . The truth is, the Federal Reserve is the core of everything you and I HATE about Washington D.C.!
The good news is we're not alone.
You see, polls show nearly 80% of Americans believe the Fed should be audited.
To put an end to the Fed's rampant cronyism and the constant turmoil the Federal Reserve System breeds, and put Congress under a white-hot spotlight. . .
. . . We've got to cut through the noise and force them to answer one question -- do they stand for Fed secrecy, or do they stand with you and me?
And my Audit the Fed bill -- H.R. 24 introduced by Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) in the House of Representatives this Congress -- will do just that.
As I write you, C4L staff are busy working the phones, and pounding the pavement on Capitol Hill getting every member of Congress possible on board this vital bill.
But they need you backing them up to continue making headway against the Banksters.
The truth is going up against the army of Federal Reserve sycophants is no easy feat.
And for every congressional office my staff visits, they need thousands of folks like you backing them up.
Your petitions are the backing they need.
You see, the politicians in Washington D.C. are so much more responsive when my staff asks them to cosponsor Audit the Fed, when they know a tidal wave of petitions -- each representing a voter from their district -- could come crashing down around them.
So, I hope I can count on you to NOT stand by while unelected bankers create money out of thin air and simply hand it over to mega banks and corporations.
As I write you, BOTH parties have added $4 TRILLION to our national debt just since last year, and another massive COVID-19 spending bill is in the works!
Who gets the cash?
Hardworking Americans might get a couple thousand dollars to keep us quiet.
But Wall Street fat-cats and the Fed’s corporate cronies rake in millions.
Meanwhile, “Blue State” governments like those in Illinois, California, and New York want in on the mix as well.
After years of handing out sweetheart contracts, cushy pensions, and Cadillac healthcare packages to government union bosses in exchange for their political support, statists in state capitols are begging for a “Blue State Bailout.”
Soon, these multi-trillion-dollar “straws” will break the camel’s back.
And it’s you, me, and other hardworking Americans all over the country who’ll take the hit.
Today, our national debt stands at a jaw-dropping $26 TRILLION. U.S. taxpayers are now on the hook for over $210,000 EACH!
And that only covers past government spending -- not the new debt politicians vote to mire us in each and every week.
Whether it’s military adventurism overseas, Deep State spying, out-of-control social welfare spending -- or even the unprecedented crackdown on personal and economic freedom during the COVID-19 panic -- the Federal Reserve is the rotten core of it all.
Politicians in BOTH parties have figured out the Fed will just print money out of thin air to pay the bills when taxing and borrowing doesn’t make ends meet.
So politicians keep spending money we don’t have -- convinced that nothing bad will ever happen.
The problem is that economic chickens ALWAYS come home to roost. And the day of reckoning I’m worried is just around the corner could ultimately wipe out every last shred of American wealth.
That’s why auditing the Fed -- striking at the heart of the Washington, D.C. Leviathan -- is so critical. If passed, Audit the Fed would finally show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
*** Ever-expanding Big Government boondoggles. Now that politicians have figured out the Fed will just print money out of thin air to pay the bills if taxing and borrowing can’t make ends meet, the floodgates are wide open for even more of the statists’ "utopian" plans;
*** Constant economic crises. The 2008 housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation. As I mentioned, I’m worried we’re in the midst of another bubble that could burst any second;
*** The destruction of the middle class. As food, fuel, housing, medical care, and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money plummets;
*** Currency destruction. History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize our money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
So won't you please sign your petition TODAY?
I know the Fed banksters believe they've wined and dined and bought off enough politicians to keep up their iron grip on our economy as they suck away its lifeblood until nothing is left.
With your help I believe we can give the Fed and Congress a rude awakening.
As I mentioned, polls show that nearly 80% of the American people believe the Fed should be audited.
So politicians who stand up for Fed secrecy are standing on razor-thin political ice. Voting “NO!” on Audit the Fed could mean the end of their political careers.
In fact, the last time Audit the Fed was voted on in the U.S. Senate, we earned a Senate majority, falling just 7 votes shy of overcoming a filibuster. And four senators who voted “NO!” on Audit the Fed went down to defeat in 2018.
With pick-ups in the 2018 Senate elections, we’re inching ever closer to reaching the 60-vote threshold we need.
Our biggest challenge may be the U.S. House -- but I believe that’s a fight we can win.
With your actions fueling a mass mobilization program, you and I can ensure the banksters at the Federal Reserve won’t be able to hide all the harm they do to the American economic system!
But we’ve got to keep the pressure on to FORCE House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring my Audit Fed Bill to the floor.
That’s why it’s so important that you sign your “AUDIT THE FED NOW!” petition TODAY.
I know this plan is ambitious when many Americans have been hit hard during the economic upheaval and stock-market roller coaster we've seen this year.
But that's what it will take to win.
Sadly, not everyone understands the damage the Fed routinely causes with its inflationary policies.
Some -- especially those who leech off government and have wedded themselves to Big Government’s big handouts -- just won’t “get it” until catastrophe hits them in the face.
That’s why these times call for true patriots.
I know you understand doing nothing is not an option.
So won’t you please agree to sign your petition and make your most generous contribution today?
You have the ability to make a difference.
I’ve seen it. My former colleagues in Washington, D.C. have seen it, too.
For liberty,
Ron Paul
