Freshman Republicans Recognize Rep. Ron Paul for His Legislation to Bring Greater Transparency to Government Institutions
Led by U.S. Representative Steve Austria (R-OH), the House Republican Freshman Class of the 111th Congress unanimously voted U.S. Representative Dr. Ron Paul’s (R-TX) legislation, H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, as the BEST LEGISLATION FILED during the 111th Congress.
Representative Austria presented Dr. Paul with a Certificate of Appreciation from Freshman Members for his efforts to bring about greater accountability and transparency in our public institutions and to thank him for his many years of service and dedication to the cause of liberty and the promotion of free market principles.
“As new members, we understand that the American people are not happy with the ‘closed door, backroom deal-making’ approach to government that has come to characterize Washington in recent years. Passage of your legislation would begin to move our government back into the sunlight where it belongs,” said Freshman Republicans in a letter to Dr. Paul.
“Transparency is an important building block of our public institutions,” said Representative Bill Posey (R-FL) who made the motion to nominate Dr. Paul’s legislation. “Representative Paul’s legislation, combined with his efforts over his many years of service, has made a positive contribution toward maintaining the freedoms which the Founders of our nation intended us all to have.”

Guys, that looks good, but we have bad news. You know, you *are* public servants, and regrettably this is your last term, even being freshmen. Because, good or bad, the public has decided to unite and VOTE OUT EVERY INCUMBENT IN CONGRESS.
That means the good along with the bad. Sorry. And sorry for all those millions you spent to get there. Use your time to do good in this your last term, as a good public servant.
We are united, and even vote out the very finest, Dr. Paul. EVERY INCUMBENT OUT.

I agree with him getting this. He certainly deserves it more than Obama getting a Nobel Peace prize. In the news just today was an article stating that new sanctions have been placed on Iran that are the strongest ever. So Obama gets his peace award for committing an act of war (which sanctions are) and people are upset that Dr. Paul receives an award for writing great legislation. It’s not his fault all the turkeys around him didn’t vote for it. Recognition for what he’s done is nice. He hasn’t stopped fighting for liberty for 30 years, don’t think he’ll start now.

My thoughts exactly… Barry Sanders stabbed RP in the back at the last moment, butchering this bill, which apparently he is getting an award for?
Well, I suppose it did give them a scrap of auditing power, which is a good precedent if nothing else.

As much as Ron Paul differs from the majority of his backwards, lost party, I feel that ti beat Obama in 2012 for sure he’ll need a Democrat as his running mate. I think Alan Grayson would fill that slot nicely (the guy that proposed legislation that would cut the defense budget in half and eliminate income taxes for the first $35,000 made per person).

You must help to end the Fed now before it is too late. Call your Congressman and Senator. Email your Congressman and Senator. Have your wife and your mother and your father do the same. Turn over a new leaf. Become part of the solution!
