Bart Gordon Responds to H.R. 1207... sort of

"Nancy Pelosi sends a disk every Monday morning containing all the important issues and what my talking points are to be. H.R. 1207 seems to be missing from my list of things to do."


I asked Mr. Gordon, Tennessee's 6th district congressman, to become a sponsor for H.R. 1207. I also asked him why the bill would not be in the best interests of his constituents. His answer was less than encouraging.

Dear Kenneth,

Thank you for sharing your support for H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. Hearing from you helps me better represent Middle Tennessee.

I understand your view that auditing the Federal Reserve would provide much needed transparency. As a nation, we must practice fiscally responsible policies to recover from this economic crisis as quickly as possible. The House Committee on Financial Services is reviewing this legislation regarding the role and efficiency of the Federal Reserve. I am not a member of that committee, but will keep your views in mind should a bill come to the House floor for a vote.

Again, thank you for your input on this important issue. As always, if I may be of assistance to you or your family, please do not hesitate to call on me.

Ron Paul still is plugging along and now has 91 sponsors.

Ron Paul on HR 1207: Update 4/27/09

The message has been sent to Congress over and over again. Don't mess with the Fed.

Patrick Lafferty speculates on the cowards in Congress and why they are reluctant to address the Federal Reserve issue.

Not since the assassination of Congressman Larry McDonald--when the International Banking Cartel decided to murder the 290 passengers aboard KAL flight 007 over Soviet airspace and the coverup after as to the reason why--has the issue not escaped Americans.

Just as former Senator John Tower and his daughter were among 23 persons murdered on April 5, 1991 when the twin-engine commuter plane they were aboard crashed while trying to land at an airport in Brunswick, GA--and the death of Senator John Heinz and six other people were killed on the previous day of April 4, 1991.

Heinz's death occurred when a Bell 412 helicopter collided with the Senator's Piper Aerostar plane over Merion Elementary School in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania. All aboard the two aircraft and two first-grade girls playing outside the school were killed. The helicopter had been dispatched to check out a problem with the landing gear of Heinz's plane. While moving in for a closer look, the helicopter's rotor blades struck the bottom of the plane, causing both aircraft to lose control and crash.

These two Senators, who had seats on the Senate banking and Finance Committees, were involved with the Council on Foreign Relations.

Their deaths coincide with the efforts of McDonald and during June, 1989, the battle, waged at the state level, had once again reached Congress. Representative Henry Gonzalez of Texas, introduced House Resolution 1469, calling for the abolition of the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System. He also introduced House Resolution 1470, calling for the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

During the same session, Representative Phil Crane of Illinois, introduced H.R. 70, calling for an annual audit of the Federal Reserve, none of which ever made it to daylight.

Along with the death of Charles Lindbergh's son, the poisoning of Louis McFadden, JKF and RFK and several other IBC assassinations, efforts to get to the heart of the Fed and it's total corruption have been met with resistance.

Today, we can without hesitation make a stand to force our pathetic legislators to sponsor H. Res 1207 and get the accountability and action we have been denied for too many years.

Ron Paul's legislation HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act, is gaining support. HR 1207 has 91 co-sponsors and real potential to pass - BUT only if we educate and rally the people to support it and get our Congresspeople to put it to vote and pass it. {source - OpEdNews}

Mr. Gordon needs to represent his constituents, not special interests and the elite bankers of the Federal Reserve. Failure to do so could mean the Bye Bye Bart chorus becomes reality.
