From Campaign For Liberty:
I just got off the phone with Norm Singleton.
The U.S. Senate WILL VOTE on Audit the Fed soon after the Thanksgiving recess.
Whether it passes or fails depends on the amount of pressure you and I are able to apply to weak-kneed senators.
But I have bad news, too.
After all the insanity the statists have tried to RAM down our throats over the past few months, Campaign for Liberty’s resources are drained.
And we do not have the funds necessary to run the type of program it'll take to apply enough pressure on the Senate to pass my Audit the Fed bill.
Because this is an all-out emergency, I've decided to give away a Colt AR-15 rifle as part of our Emergency Audit the Fed Vote Blitz to encourage you to make a generous donation now when it will count so much.
Anyone who signs their Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions before tonight at midnight will be automatically entered to win a Colt AR-15.
I’ll give you the link to sign your Emergency Fax Petitions and enter your name in our AR-15 giveaway in just a moment, but first let me tell you why I need your help -- right now -- to turn up the heat on the U.S. Senate.
You see, weak-kneed senators are back home in their respective states and won’t be back in Washington until November 30.
In the meantime, there will be nowhere to hide from the nearly 80% of their constituents who believe the Federal Reserve should be audited.
And with Campaign for Liberty’s committed grassroots activists in states all over the country ready to turn up the heat, you and I can have more of an impact RIGHT NOW than ever before.
You see, a similar effort might cost another organization millions.
But with my massive network of “boots on the ground,” this program should cost only a fraction of that.
Campaign for Liberty is widely acknowledged to have one of the best grassroots operations in the policy arena today.
Today I'm counting on your help to continue to earn that reputation by helping generate maximum pressure -- RIGHT NOW -- on weak-kneed senators to vote for Audit the Fed.
So please sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions (and be entered to win an AR-15) before midnight deadline tonight.
Since its founding, Campaign for Liberty has mobilized millions of Americans in order to force Congress to act on the people’s demands for an end to the Fed’s secretive monetary policy.
And thanks to the efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you, Audit the Fed has not only become a major political issue, but twice passed the House of Representatives as a standalone bill in 2012 and 2014.
Unfortunately for those past efforts, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid prevented Audit the Fed from ever reaching the Senate floor.
Thankfully, the American people fired Harry Reid as Majority Leader last November. And there will be a Senate vote on Audit the Fed after the Thanksgiving recess.
That's why I'm counting on you to sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions (and be entered into the AR-15 giveaway) immediately.
But to turn up the heat on the U.S. Senate to pass Audit the Fed, it's going to take a massive amount of pressure on the U.S. Senate.
Generating maximum pressure on the Senate is so important that anyone who signs our Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions will have their names automatically entered into our Colt AR-15 sweepstakes.
So please sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions immediately.
As I mentioned, Campaign for Liberty does not have the resources to launch our hard-hitting grassroots program at this time.
That's why, after you sign your petitions, I must ask you to please go one step further and make an emergency contribution of $100, $50, $25 -- or any amount you can afford at this time.
With your generous contribution, Campaign for Liberty will have the resources to:
>>> Flood the Senate with petitions, faxes, and phone calls over the next seven days in support of Audit the Fed;
>>> Run Internet ads on popular sites targeting Senators like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Bernie Sanders who have all supported Audit the Fed in the past but are AWOL this Congress;
>>> Produce hard-hitting TV and radio ads -- funds permitting -- targeting weak-kneed senators to alert even more Americans about the upcoming vote.
This is the exact same successful grassroots program that helped pass Audit the Fed through the U.S. House in 2012 and 2014.
And with your immediate financial support, it's the exact same program Campaign for Liberty will run to generate maximum pressure on the U.S. Senate leading up to the vote.
That's why I'm counting on you to dig deep and make your most generous contribution of $100 or $50 today!
But if $100 or $50 is just too much at this time, I hope you'll consider giving a generous contribution of $25 or $10 to help fund this critical fight.
Campaign for Liberty has mobilized millions of Americans in order to force Congress to act on the people’s demand for an end to the Fed’s corrupt and secretive monetary policy.
And your representatives on Capitol Hill are responding. As a result, there will be a Senate vote on Audit the Fed.
This is the legacy of liberty we WILL leave for our children and grandchildren.
This is our legacy of liberty. And the outcome depends on your generous support.
As I mentioned above, this project is so important to me that I authorized my staff to enter everyone who signs their Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions by midnight tonight for a chance to win an AR-15.
Campaign for Liberty’s AR-15 Giveaways also celebrate a legacy of liberty -- the fundamental liberty to keep and bear arms.
So please sign your Emergency Audit the Fed Fax Petitions -- and make your most generous contribution -- right away to help in this fight.
Remember, anyone who signs their Audit the Fed petitions will have their name entered to win a Colt AR-15.
Thank you in advance for your support.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. I’m in need of your generous support today if Campaign for Liberty is going to implement our grassroots mobilization program to pass Audit the Fed in the U.S. Senate.
Since this is an all-out EMERGENCY, I’ve authorized my staff to give away a Colt AR-15 rifle to one lucky petition signer to encourage you to give generously now, when your support is needed most.

Audit The Fed vote in the Senate to happen after Thanksgiving
From Campaign For Liberty:
Janet Yellen’s message to you and me is very clear.
Leave me alone
She desperately wants Campaign for Liberty activists to shut up, go away, and just leave her and her Federal Reserve cronies alone.
But I’ve got a message for Janet Yellen – you and I will never back down.
Audit the Fed is just that important.
But to turn up the heat on the U.S. Senate to pass Audit the Fed, it’s going to take a massive amount of pressure from concerned patriots like you.
And put simply, Campaign for Liberty's resources to apply this pressure are drained.
We need funds right away to launch our hard-hitting grassroots Internet program targeting weak-kneed Senators who are dragging their feet on supporting Audit the Fed.
Polling shows nearly 75% of Americans support the bill.
Please take a moment right now and sign your Emergency Audit the Fed petition before Tuesday at midnight. As soon as you sign, you’ll be automatically entered to win a brand new Colt AR-15, engraved with Ron Paul’s signature.
My inside sources on Capitol Hill tell me the U.S. Senate WILL VOTE on Dr. Paul’s signature Audit the Fed bill after Thanksgiving.
So please don’t delay!
Sign your Emergency Audit the Fed petitions immediately (and be entered to win an AR-15). And then make your most generous contribution of $40 or $30 to help offset the cost of our Internet program.
In Liberty,
Tim Shoemaker Signature

Corporate welfare makes guys like Donald Trump ever richer
From Campaign For Liberty:
This fall marks the seventh anniversary of the bursting of the housing bubble and the subsequent economic meltdown. The mood in Congress following the meltdown resembled the panicked atmosphere that followed the September 11th attacks. As was the case after September 11th, Congress rushed to pass hastily written legislation that, instead of dealing with the real causes of the crisis, simply gave the government more power.
Just as few understood the role our interventionist foreign policy played in the September 11th attacks, few in Congress understood that the 2008 meltdown was caused by the Federal Reserve and Congress, not by unregulated capitalism. Not surprising to anyone familiar with economic history, the story of the 2008 meltdown starts with the bursting of the Fed-created tech bubble.
Following the collapse of the tech bubble, the Fed began aggressively pumping money into the economy. This money flooded into the housing market, creating the housing bubble. The Bush Administration and the Republican Congress also added fuel to the housing bubble. These so-called “free-market” conservatives expanded federal housing programs in hopes of creating an “ownership society.”
If Congress understood the Austrian theory of the business cycle, it would have allowed the recession that followed the housing bubble’s inevitable collapse to run its course. Recessions are the economy’s way of eliminating the distortions caused by the Federal Reserve. Attempts by Congress and the Fed to end a recession via inflation and government spending will only lead to future, and more severe, economic downturns.
The corporate bailouts, government spending, and money creation via quantitative easing that Congress and the Fed have engaged in since the fall of 2008, have failed to produce even the illusion of prosperity. The daily experience of most Americans shows that the government’s doctored statistics drastically understate both unemployment and inflation.
This is not to say that no Americans have benefited from Federal Reserve policies. Even Donald Trump has called quantitative easing “a great deal for guys like me.” Much of the growth of government over the past seven years, from the bailouts to the increases in military and domestic spending to Obamacare, has also benefited politically-connected crony capitalists.
The Federal Reserve’s continued delay of an interest rate increase suggests that, contrary to its public statements, the Fed understands that the economy has not recovered from the meltdown and is on the brink of another major recession. Fear that the Fed is not being fully forthcoming with its view of the economy is one reason the stock market declined following the Fed’s recent decision to once again postpone increasing interest rates.
Learning the full truth about how the Fed evaluates the economy and its plans to respond to another downturn are two reasons why it is important to pass the Audit the Fed bill.
A vote on Audit the Fed would probably be the only good thing to occur in Congress this year. A Congress that cannot defund Planned Parenthood is unlikely to make any serious cuts in spending. Instead of waiting for politicians to do the right thing, those who know the truth must spread the ideas of liberty as far and wide as possible. Only when the teachings of the Austrian school are embraced by a critical mass of Americans will Congress cut warfare spending, cut welfare spending, and audit, and then end, the Fed.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Tell Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and your U.S. Senators it’s time to pass Audit the Fed NOW!

Hold Senator Mitch McConnell to his promise to hold a vote on Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
She's not the President. She's not a member of Congress.
She's not the head of any country or nation.
She's not even an elected official!
Yet Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is considered the “most powerful woman in the world.”
Even though she may be considered the "most powerful woman in the world," Janet Yellen's worst nightmare is Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill!
Today I'm counting on you to help make that nightmare a reality.
So won't you please sign your petitions and chip in a contribution to our "Turn up the Heat! Audit the Fed Blitz!" right away?
Right now is the time for you and I to TURN UP the heat.
The phony "spending" fight and political charades over the so-called "Continuing Resolution" will be over in just a matter of days.
When that smoke clears, C4L plans to launch a MASSIVE grassroots mobilization blitz designed to turn up the heat on Mitch McConnell to follow through on his campaign promise to hold a clean Senate vote on Audit the Fed.
I'm talking HARD-HITTING MAIL AND EMAIL to mobilize up to 10 million Americans across the country . . .
AN ALL-OUT EARNED MEDIA BLITZ . . .
A MASSIVE SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET AD CAMPAIGN . . .
And TARGETED RADIO, NEWSPAPER, AND EVEN TV ADS -- if C4L can raise the resources.
The good news is, a very generous donor is so fired up about our opportunity to force a Senate vote on Audit the Fed this fall that he wants to help expand our program even more.
He understands the Federal Reserve's slick insider pals are set to launch a massive PR blitz to SMEAR supporters of Audit the Fed, so he wants to make sure we have the resources to generate maximum pressure on Mitch McConnell and the U.S. Senate to hold a floor vote on Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill!
In fact, he's so excited he's offering to MATCH - DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR - every donation received before Wednesday, September 30!
So please sign your petitions and chip in a contribution (doubled!) to help Campaign for Liberty turn up the heat on the Senate to Audit the Fed.
Even if it's just $5, any amount you can afford to contribute will be greatly appreciated and put to immediate use.
And as long as you chip in before September 30, your contribution will be DOUBLED!
So please take advantage of this generous Matching Grant offer by chipping in a contribution right away.
Please don't delay. Take action now!
Let's give Mitch McConnell -- and the ENTIRE U.S. Senate -- an earful.
She's not the President. She's not a member of Congress.
She's not the head of any country or nation.

Tell the Senate Banking Committee to back Audit The Fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
This Tuesday, the Senate Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee will hold a hearing titled "Federal Reserve Reform."
Unfortunately, Audit the Fed (S. 264), despite its massive popularity among the American people, isn't on the agenda.
But that doesn't mean Audit the Fed won't be discussed at Tuesday's hearing.
Janet Yellen's cronies – such as Democrat Elizabeth Warren and Republican Bob Corker – are sure to use this hearing as a platform to bash Audit the Fed.
And because S. 264 isn’t officially on the agenda, there won’t be an advocate specifically for Audit the Fed on the witness panel.
You see, right after Senator Rand Paul reintroduced Audit the Fed, the Fed launched an unprecedented PR campaign against the bill ...
And the Fed’s allies on Wall Street and K Street, among politicians (who think the needs of the Fed outweigh the needs of the American people), and in the establishment press are aiding it.
You can be sure the press will be quick to report if any of the witnesses aren’t prepared to fend off hostile questions.
The Senate Banking Committee has heard from the Fed and its allies . . .
Now they need to hear from you!
That's why C4L is launching a "Bring it to the Floor" Blitz designed to FLOOD the Senate offices of Chairman Richard Shelby and other members of the Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee with over 50,000 petitions URGING them to pass Audit the Fed through Committee and bring it to the floor for an up or down vote.
As you'll see, there's a special counter on our "Bring it to the Floor" Audit the Fed page showing the progress we're making toward our goal.
Can I count on you to help push the petition counter to 50,000 by signing your "Bring it to the Floor" Audit the Fed petitions IMMEDIATELY?
Weak-kneed Members of Congress are looking for watered-down compromise legislation that leaves much of the Federal Reserve’s core operations off limits to the American people.
And Fed Chair Janet Yellen is living up to her promise to “forcefully” oppose passage of Audit the Fed - predicting Chicken Little horrors if the Federal Reserve’s actions are ever exposed!
In fact, while delivering her semi-annual report on monetary policy this week on Capitol Hill, Janet Yellen made national headlines when she boldly declared that she "strongly OPPOSES Audit the Fed."
And so-called “conservative” Senator Bob Corker aided her in her efforts by tossing Yellen a series of softballs and parroting Federal Reserve propaganda.
You and I can’t take this situation lightly - especially considering the massive stranglehold Federal Reserve officials have on the entire U.S. economy.
With your help today, you and I can break that stranglehold.
I can't even begin to tell you how much of an impact your signed petitions will make in forcing the Senate to vote on Audit the Fed.
Remember, it was just this past Congress when the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on monetary policy in honor of the Fed's 100th Anniversary.
That hearing also didn't include Audit the Fed on the agenda.
But C4L members and supporters stepped up and answered the call - generating tens of thousands of petitions to House Leadership DEMANDING a vote on Audit the Fed.
Your efforts paid off, and in September, Audit the Fed passed the U.S. House with 331 out of 435 votes!
Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to allow so much as a vote on Audit the Fed.
But the American people FIRED Harry Reid as U.S. Senate Majority Leader last November, removing a MAJOR roadblock to auditing the Federal Reserve.
Today if you and I can generate the same kind of pressure on the Senate that led to passage of Audit the Fed in the House, I'm confident we can succeed in getting a Senate vote on Audit the Fed and even passing it.
You see, our nation is now over $18 TRILLION in debt. Fed banksters continue to create money like there’s no tomorrow, and warnings are mounting about yet another massive economic stock market bubble that’s about to burst!
Average, hardworking Americans are feeling the pinch from soaring food prices.
Most workers’ real wages haven’t budged in a decade or more when adjusted for inflation - even using the federal government’s rosy statistics.
Yet Wall Street fat cats are living high on the hog as the Dow Jones reaches new highs on Federal Reserve-created phony prosperity.
News reports have revealed that Federal Reserve leakers gave Wall Street insiders with the right “connections” a sneak-peek on the Fed’s internal deliberations - giving them a front-row seat at the money trough.
Not only that, but secret audio recordings released last fall seem to prove that the Federal Reserve’s so-called “bank examiners” helped sweep evidence of questionable big bank behavior under the rug — behavior that could help lead to another taxpayer-financed big bank bailout.
Truthfully, I don’t know how much more of this madness our country can take.
If we don’t rein in the Federal Reserve now, every last shred of American prosperity could be wiped out!
That’s why I believe it’s absolutely critical you and I FORCE Congress to Audit the Fed and show the American people the Federal Reserve System leads to:
*** Ever-expanding Big Government boondoggles like “ObamaCare.”
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 recent 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 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 sinks;
*** Currency destruction.
History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize their money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
Yet those who leech off the Federal Reserve System don’t care.
They don’t care that they’re sinking our nation into economic ruin - so long as they keep raking in the dough from the Fed’s corruption and cronyism.
That’s why your action today in signing your "Bring it to the Floor" petitions to Chairman Richard Shelby and the other Senate Banking Committee members is so critical!
Of course this fight won't be easy - nor cheap.
After all, the Federal Reserve - backed by the nation's printing presses - has virtually unlimited funds at their disposal.
And believe me, they're doing everything in their power to KILL Audit the Fed.
Right now, Federal Reserve apologists are swarming Capitol Hill and hitting full force in the media, saying you and I just don’t know what’s good for us.
And the banksters’ fat-cat lobbyists aren't far behind - surely promising loads of goodies to members of Congress who vote to KILL Audit the Fed.
That's why you and I must TURN UP THE HEAT on the Senate like never before to FORCE Audit the Fed to the floor for an up or down vote.
I can’t explain what a travesty it would be to watch the Fed wriggle off the hook after how far we’ve come!
But I also have to face facts regarding what it will take to achieve victory.
You see, money is tight. Too tight.
That’s why, in addition to your signed petitions, I must be able to count on your generosity today.
So please chip in $10 or more to help make sure C4L has the resources to generate over 50,000 petitions into the offices of Senate Banking Committee members and mobilize millions of Americans to demand the Senate pass Audit the Fed.
Only our members’ generous support will allow us to do what's needed to win this battle.
So please sign your "Bring it to the Floor" Audit the Fed petitions and agree to chip in $10 or more IMMEDIATELY.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul

As 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 sinks;
*** Currency destruction.
History shows us that riots, violence, and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize their money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
Yet those who leech off the Federal Reserve System don’t care.
They don’t care that they’re sinking our nation into economic ruin - so long as they keep raking in the dough from the Fed’s corruption and cronyism.
That’s why your action today in signing your "Bring it to the Floor" petitions to Chairman Richard Shelby and the other Senate Banking Committee members is so critical!
Of course this fight won't be easy - nor cheap.
After all, the Federal Reserve - backed by the nation's printing presses - has virtually unlimited funds at their disposal.
And believe me, they're doing everything in their power to KILL Audit the Fed.
Right now, Federal Reserve apologists are swarming Capitol Hill and hitting full force in the media, saying you and I just don’t know what’s good for us.
And the banksters’ fat-cat lobbyists aren't far behind - surely promising loads of goodies to members of Congress who vote to KILL Audit the Fed.
That's why you and I must TURN UP THE HEAT on the Senate like never before to FORCE Audit the Fed to the floor for an up or down vote.
I can’t explain what a travesty it would be to watch the Fed wriggle off the hook after how far we’ve come!
But I also have to face facts regarding what it will take to achieve victory.
You see, money is tight. Too tight.
That’s why, in addition to your signed petitions, I must be able to count on your generosity today.
So please chip in $10 or more to help make sure C4L has the resources to generate over 50,000 petitions into the offices of Senate Banking Committee members and mobilize millions of Americans to demand the Senate pass Audit the Fed.
Only our members’ generous support will allow us to do what's needed to win this battle.
So please sign your "Bring it to the Floor" Audit the Fed petitions and agree to chip in $10 or more IMMEDIATELY.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
