Audit the Fed
Tim Shoemaker - Campaign for Liberty
Just before the busy Memorial Day weekend, C4L Vice President Matt Hawes broke the news that Audit the Fed (H.R. 459) is scheduled for a vote THIS JULY in the United States House of Representatives.
This is what we’ve been working toward over the past two years, and now it’s time to double-down on our efforts to secure victory – first in the House and then in the U.S. Senate!
Please take just a moment to read the important message below from Senator Rand Paul, and, if you haven’t already, take immediate action.
In Liberty,
Tim Shoemaker
Director of Legislation

The Fed has proven it cannot be trusted and must be audited. While the banksters’ dangerous schemes have been going on for years, the bailouts exposed the trillions being stolen from the American people.
Campaign for Liberty has taken this cause straight to Americans nationwide, and the response has been overwhelming.
It is time to Audit the Fed. Time to shine a bright spotlight on the largest theft in American history.
Just like during my campaign, however, the establishment is stacked against us.
But the establishment isn’t counting on patriots like you from all across America raising their voices to be heard. The time to turn up the pressure on the Fed is NOW!
Please take a few moments to read the message below from Campaign for Liberty Vice President Matt Hawes and support C4L in this vital effort to rein in the Federal Reserve. As we enter this critical time, we have an unprecedented chance to finish this fight and finally hold the Fed accountable for all it has done to wreck our economy and endanger our nation.
Don’t let this opportunity slip away.
For Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul

There’s one thing the presidential race has made clear – our issues are moving to the front and center of the national debate.
They are being embraced more and more as the principles of liberty are discussed around the country.
And no issue has struck a chord more than reining in the Federal Reserve.
Candidates fall all over themselves to support an audit.
They scream from the rooftops about firing Ben Bernanke – or worse.
You and I have an opportunity like never before to finally pass a full, complete audit of the Federal Reserve - this year.
That’s why it’s vital you IMMEDIATELY complete your AUDIT THE FED petition.
Senator Rand Paul stands ready to force the issue in the Senate.
And Congressman Ron Paul has just a few short months left in the House to pass the legislative achievement of his lifetime.
So I hope you’ll join C4L on the frontlines today as we push forward in the battle to stop the out-of-control Fed.
Audit the Fed is rapidly gaining ground in the House, where we now have majority support.
And even though the Senate is a tougher road, we still are at 20 cosponsors.
This is a fight that we simply must win.
You and I have seen the damage the out-of-control Fed can cause, especially during a time of crisis.
As you know, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and their cronies on Wall Street have for nearly four years been engaged in the worst plundering of a country’s wealth in the history of civilization.
It began with the bailouts.
Then it moved on to QE 1 and 2 – with who knows how many more coming in the future.
Our dollar is being devalued.
The cost of food, gas, and other goods is being inflated, while you and I are left holding the bag.
And all the while, the budget deficit grows. Our debt grows – now it’s nearly 16 trillion dollars.
And don’t be fooled by the charade of imaginary spending cuts the politicians want you to believe they have passed.
Nothing has changed. In fact, the debt ceiling increase ensures we will add at least TEN TRILLION dollars in new debt over the next ten years.
Only you and I, together with millions of freedom-loving Americans, can demand Congress finally put a stop to the statists and the banksters’ irresponsible reign.
That’s why your completed petition will help Campaign for Liberty fight back right away by taking the battle straight to the heart of the problem - the Federal Reserve itself.
You and I know the Fed is clearly out of control.
But our current numbers are just not enough. I need to spread the word to MILLIONS more concerned activists.
Americans are crushed under a mountain of debt, yet the Fed continues to print more money - backed by nothing but the whims of Ben Bernanke and international bankers.
If you and I don’t put an end to it all, it will clearly be the ruin of our entire way of life.
There is good news, however.
Early in the 112th Congress, Congressman Ron Paul re-introduced his Audit the Fed bill.
And, this time, he was joined by his son, Senator Rand Paul, with similar legislation in the Senate.
The 2010 elections showed us what can be done by outraged citizens.
The 2012 positions of the candidates showed they understand the emerging political reality – the ideas of freedom are spreading, and so is support for auditing the Fed.
Now, you and I must capitalize on these results to push forward in our battle to audit – and then END – the Fed.
That’s why it’s vital you agree to fill out your personal Audit the Fed petition in support of Senator Paul’s S. 202.
As more Americans than ever are focused on our perilous fiscal situation after the recent debt ceiling fight, you and I must take advantage of this opportunity to make sure our senators feel the heat to support the Audit the Fed bill!
Whether it’s seeing a phony “stimulus” package get rammed into law, or watching Congress pass a $700 BILLION bank “bailout” under threat of martial law and use a fake “DEFAULT” crisis to lock in the Obama spending increases - the American people are agitated and increasingly angry.
Now it’s time to make sure they show it by unleashing the pressure of MILLIONS of outraged Americans on the out-of-control Fed!
So please complete your petition urging your senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on the Audit the Fed bill.
And please consider making a contribution to Campaign for Liberty today.
As I know you’re aware, the Federal Reserve is shrouded in secrecy.
Its meetings are off-limits to the public. Its inner workings are off-limits to the public. And the Fed shows no sign of learning its lessons.
Even now, the Fed still refuses to release the full story on how it acted during the crisis!
Well, why do you think they keep stalling?
They know coming clean with Congress and the American people on what they’ve done to our money would result in an anti-Fed firestorm. So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit?
You and I will finally be able to show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
*** Constant economic crises - the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally planned interest rates and money manipulation;
*** The destruction of the middle class - as fuel, food, 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 slowly decreases;
*** Currency destruction - history shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize fiat money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
And unless you and I end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we’d like to think to learning that history lesson firsthand - right here in our own streets.
Matter of fact, we’re already seeing chaos starting to erupt in cities nationwide.
That’s why your commitment to helping pass the Audit the Fed bill - and helping Campaign for Liberty fight this battle - is so vital.
You see, with the piling up of trillions of dollars in reckless bailouts of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington, D.C. want to show you they’re “being responsible.”
What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from the U.S. taxpayers?
More and more representatives are already feeling the pressure and are signing up to support this bill.
Audit the Fed could move at any time in the House.
But you and I must turn up the pressure in the Senate.
Audit the Fed is a bill we CAN pass, and one that is vital to exposing the massive corruption and dollar manipulation at the Federal Reserve.
Now, we just need to show Congress the American people demand action on the Audit the Fed bill.
Here’s how we plan to do that.
First, we’re already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones, and email to generate petitions to the U.S. Senate demanding action on Rand Paul’s Audit the Fed bill.
But that’s just the beginning.
We’ll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to further turn up the pressure on the Senate.
And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we’d also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV, and newspaper ads.
This entire program is designed to send this one, CLEAR message to your senators: any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve audit should look for another job.
But such a massive effort won’t be easy - or cheap. That’s why I’m counting on you to chip in a contribution of $10 today.
The big government, Fed-loving statists in Congress will stop at nothing to derail our efforts to Audit the Fed. This is our best chance EVER to finish this fight. But C4L won’t be able to do that without your help today.
That’s why I hope you’ll join C4L in this battle by completing your petition and chipping in a $10 contribution.
Thank you for your support.
In Liberty,
Matt Hawes
Vice President
P.S. The nation is focused on the fiscal mess in Washington. And Americans are boiling mad at the failure of politicians to tackle the real problems.
With Congress spending like never before, and TRILLIONS of new dollars being created out of thin air, it’s never been more important the Federal Reserve’s abuses are exposed to the American people once and for all.
But C4L must be able to turn up the pressure on the Senate right away.
So please, complete the petition to your senators today. Also, please chip in a contribution of $10 to Campaign for Liberty to help move our battle forward.
