Rasmussen Reports (H/T to Daily Paul):"Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke on Thursday voiced his opposition to legislation calling for regular audits of the Fed’s monetary policies, but 79% [holy cow!] of Americans think auditing the Fed is a good idea.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just seven percent (7%) [why on earth?] of adults oppose auditing the Federal Reserve and making those results available to the public. Fourteen percent (14%) are not sure [just read this]."
Awesome! Remember when it felt like 79% of people didn't even have a clue what the Fed was and why it needs to be audited (and ended!)? And now that many Americans thinks it needs an audit! That's twice as many as there are who support the Democrats' plans to reform health care! (so the audit bill should have come to a vote by now, right? what!? what do you mean "no"!?)
This is why Congressman Ron Paul's bid for the Republican Party's nomination to run for President in 2008 was a success! It was not an electoral success, but it was definitely a political success (as opposed to McCain's nomination, an electoral success, but a political failure). Ron Paul has introduced a bill to audit the Fed every session of his 20+ year tenure in Congress, and it has never before received this level of support and awareness.
Keep on fighting! We are so close I can taste it! I am so proud of my country (though unlike our First Lady during her husband's campaign, this is not the first time I've felt that way).
