This is an email from Ron Paul. Hip, Hip, Hooray for accountability.
As we reflect on President Obama's first 100 days in office, the hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street and the just passed budget, a staggering $3.4 trillion boondoggle, I wanted to share some good news with you.

This film/documentary really blew one of my good friends and me away! My hubby, through his research, wasn't as shocked...but he was very shocked when he found out this information through his own research. He was really happy to learn this film came out, and that it's so easy for the average person to understand.

Audit The Fed
A Commentary By Howard Rich
I’ll be the first to admit that the notion of Washington politicians auditing the Federal Reserve initially struck me as a little bit kooky – and more than a little bit backward.
Shouldn’t the financial geniuses be auditing the politicians, not the other way around?
In fact, one of the reasons that the Fed has been given such wide latitude throughout its history is the widely-held belief that our nation’s monetary policy should be conducted free from political “interference.”
And so the Fed has existed as “an independent entity within the Federal government" for decades.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Reserve has slashed a key interest rate by half a percentage point as it seeks to revive an economy hit by a long list of maladies stemming from the most severe financial crisis in decades.
The central bank on Wednesday reduced its target for the federal funds rate, the interest banks charge on overnight loans, to 1 percent, a low last seen in 2003-2004. The funds rate has not been lower since 1958, when Dwight Eisenhower was president.

These days, political turmoil isn’t a one-way street.
President Obama’s mediocre approval ratings and the Democrats’ internal battling over the details of the health care reform plan are the obvious headline-grabbers, but the opposition party has troubles of its own.
Just 15% of Republicans who plan to vote in 2012 state primaries say the party’s representatives in Congress have done a good job of representing GOP values.
