		<description>How did &quot;we the people&quot; get so far in a hole that we&#039;re now fighting to get our country back from these special interest groups and people in business and government who serve only themselves.

I&#039;m British by birth; American by inclination and I don&#039;t understand why Americans born and raised here, are not as inflamed with outrage as I am, a Naturalised Citizen, watching the country I now call home being turned to turds by these people. 

In November, I&#039;m voting for anybody associated with Ron Paul and his ideals; I;m voting against anybody who votes for this bail out BS</description>

		<description>Proclamation on the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America

www.TakeBackTheFed.com

March 2008

WHEREAS, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States of America authorizes Congress &quot;To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures&quot;;

WHEREAS, on December 13th, 1913 the US Congress enacted the Federal Reserve System; 

WHEREAS, the Federal Reserve System is considered an independent agency within the federal government, with oversight of Congress and containing appointed public officials on its board of directors;

WHEREAS, the Federal Reserve System Controls the Federal Reserve Note, the official currency of the great nation of the United States of America;

WHEREAS, there may be controversies regarding the legality and constitutionality of the Federal Reserve System, it is recognized that the said system has operated continuously as the central banking system of the United States since the inception of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913;

WHEREAS, the Constitution of the United States of America granted Congress the authority to create the current Federal Reserve System, it also does grant Congress the authority to modify or revoke the Federal Reserve System;

WHEREAS, the actions of the Fedreral Reserve System represent the credit and currency of the United Stated of America to the citizens of this great nation and to the world;

WHEREAS, the Federal Reserve System, acting independently within the federal government allowed, supported, and even promoted parasitical and non-productive uses of the money and credit of the United States of America;

WHEREAS, the United States and likely the entire world&#039;s financial system is undergoing massive de-leveraging of the said parasitical and non-productive uses of the credit and money of the United States of America (as well as other nations&#039; currencies);

WHEREAS, the US dollar, the &quot;Federal Reserve Note&quot; is declining in value due to these parasitical activites, as well as potentially other causes;

WHEREAS, it is recognized that the citizens of the United States and other nations did willingly participate at some level in the creation and propogation of said parasitical activities;

WHEREAS, it is also recognized that the United States of America, a sovereign nation, has the legal, moral, and God given authority to take actions to benefit its citizens and to protect its good name, credit and money in times of difficulty;

WHEREAS, it is recognized that the current time is such a time of great difficulty;

WHEREAS, it is recognized the parasitical financial institutions and their activities are at odds with citizens of the United States of America and the good credit and money thereof;

WHEREAS, the current indications are that the Federal Reserve System is acting to preserve the financial system currently flooded with the parasitical activities;

WHEREAS, the current indications are that the neither the Federal Reserve System, nor the Congress of the United States, nor the people of the United States have access to the books of the institutions being preserved by the Federal Reserve, and therefor the degree of inter-connectivity and risk associated with the institutions and other entities cannot be determined;

WHEREAS, the Federal Reserve System is accepting non-performing assets as collateral for credit with ultimate taxpayer responibility to entities not under its constitutional mandate;

IT MUST BE CONCLUDED, that the Federal Reserve System is not acting to the benefit of the people of the United States of America, its credit, money, and good name;

WHEREAS, it is recognized that the political will and capability of the government of the United States of America may not be up to the task of prosecuting this proclamation ; It is also recognized that this may be the only hope for the continued survival of the United States of America as the great nation as it has historically existed.

NOW THEREFORE, it is PROCLAIMED by those supporting this Proclamation that the Congress of the United States of America FULLY NATIONALIZE the Federal Reserve System, and take full control of the credit and money of our great nation; The Congress must take whatever action necessary to seperate out, sequester, disown, or otherwise neutralize the effect of the parasitical financial activities which led to the current crisis; The Congress of the United States of America must reorganize, replace, or terminate the Federal Reserve System as appropriate; or otherwise devise a system for creation of the national currency. 

IT IS FURTHER PROCLAIMED, that the Congress of the United States of America in cooperation with the Executive of the United States of America contact allied nations and any other nation willing to participate in the overhaul of the failing and parastical financial sytem currently in operation and create new treaties and alliances as necessary to create a sane and productive system of finance with the express goal of supporting a productive national, and by extension and through voluntary cooperation, world economy;

FURTHERMORE, it is PROCLAIMED that it should be the goal of such an international effort to maintain fair international trading practices allowing for protection in national interest of labor, resources, and productive capabilities;

WHEREAS, it is recognized that such a move on the part of the United States of America may result in the necessity of an isolationist policy IF the other developed nations do not follow our lead; If such occurs, so be it.

SO HELP US GOD!</description>

		<description>Mr. Paul,

Thank you so much for speaking out against this bailout! Hopefully, it will never pass, especially when no one has mentioned where this money will come from. 

However, if Congress insists on spending $700 billion dollars, I heard of a much better plan. It would make more sense to divide that $700 billion dollars between U.S. Citizen taxpayers (only those who actually pay taxes). This would provide approximately $300,000 each (and push everyone into a higher tax bracket). Then each Citizen would put this money back into the economy; buy houses (the mortgage crisis would be over), cars, TVs; pay off credit card debt; start businesses and create jobs; put money away for retirement in banks and stock; etc.-a better economic stimulus plan than the last one. This would do much more to save our economy than just handing money over to Wall Street.</description>

		<description>I heard your interview on Glenn Beck&#039;s show this a.m. and immediately called my Arkansas Congressman (a Democrat) and left a strong message with his office urging and warning him not to vote for the bailout.

I&#039;m gratified that it was defeated. I only wish I&#039;d paid more attention to the Republican primaries when Dr. Paul was in them (I&#039;m an independent). How I wish that he would run as an independent. I&#039;m very impressed with his courage and willingness to speak the truth and deal with the issues with more than a stop-gap solution. Buckle up, America. It&#039;s going to take a LOT of work to get out of the mess we&#039;re in, and there is no quick-fix. I&#039;m afraid that our country as a whole no longer has the character to take the hard, necessary steps for responsibility, morality, and integrity.</description>
