Writes Jerry Salcido: "Yesterday the California Republican Party adopted the following resolution which Michael Erickson, Chairman of the Sonoma County Republican Party and I (Chairman of the Alameda County Republican Party) submitted":

Whereas, the California Republican Party applauds transparency and accountability in government and rejects government secrecy involving monetary policy that impacts the entire economy; and

Whereas, serious discussions of proposals to oversee and audit the Federal Reserve are long overdue; and

Whereas, the Federal Reserve can enter into agreements with foreign governments and foreign central banks and the United States Congress is prohibited from overseeing these agreements; and

Whereas, the California Republican Party believes agreements made by the Federal Reserve with foreign powers and foreign banking institutions should be subject to Congressional oversight; and

Whereas, the United States Constitution, gives the United States Congress the authority to coin Money and regulate the value thereof and does not give Congress the authority to delegate control over monetary policy to a central bank; and

Whereas, auditing the Federal Reserve will allow Congress to assert its constitutional authority over monetary policy and help to protect the value of the United States dollar;

 Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the California Republican Party, in defense of the United States Constitution, STRONGLY URGES the representatives of the 111th United States Congress to support the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 as set forth in H.R. 1207 and S. 604.

"Several members of the Campaign for Liberty including Matt Heath, Walter Stanley, David Latour, and David Ewing spent hours emailing, calling, and speaking in person with delegates of the California Republican Party over the course of the last 3 weeks in order to gain their support of the resolution," Salcido continues. "Our efforts resulted with a near unanimous adoption of the resolution.  There was only one nay vote out of the hundreds of delegates in the CRP."

Excellent work! Only one dissenter? Wonder who that was.

Republican Senatorial Candidate Chuck DeVore (v. Boxer) personally spoke in favor of the resolution of auditing the fed during the CRP resolution committee hearing. His words were all that were needed, the resolution unanimously was sent to the convention floor for a vote.

Good work, but why don't the state of California, and ALL the states in the union get together and just sue the federal government for, I dunno? let's say TREASON? After all the Congress ALREADY has the power to do what this bill would require. It's just that the chicken hawk socialists (Not All)just refuse to abide by the Constitution for the United States of America.

Special thanks goes out to all that helped make this happen! Congratulations, "Audit the FED" is now the official Party position of the California Republican Party! If you live in California, make sure to check out Chuck DeVore at http://www.chuckdevore.com/ He really came through in the clutch for us at the Resolutions Committee meeting and he'll need all the help he can get from us against Barbara Boxer. Thanks Chuck! Revolution!

Great work guys and gals! Now is there anyone there with connections to the Democratic Party? I know its a long shot but if you put some pressure on them, you never know what will happen?!

This is a great accomplishment that started with C4L members getting involved in their local county Central Committees. But more on that soon... :)

Before the Saturday Resolution Committee meeting at 2:15 pm I was able to speak with Chuck DeVore about speaking on our behave and he gladly accepted. The following day before the General Convention, Matt Heath and I spoke with Chuck for his support if needed and he said, "absolutely and looking forward to it!"

Well done!

This is great. I only hope that changes will occur in my lifetime. We the people are tired of what we have now. How in the world did we ever allow this to get started in the first place. Chuck Madere

Does the California Republican party's adoption of support for Audit the Fed provide any incentive to California's Democratic Senators to withhold support for it? I am rather naive politically. I have no faith in politics and I've come to view politicians as wicked brilliant childish destructive selfish sociopaths. :-( Except for the Pauls.

dscotese - California's Campaign for Liberty members campaigned and lobbied members/delegates of the California Republican Party for cosponsorship of the resolution. I think most would agree if it wasn't for the direct involvement of Ron Paul Republicans within the California Republican Party who also are Campaign for Liberty members none of this would have happened. When you get sick and tired of the corruption and dishonesty within politics, you have to make a choice. Either get involved directly and try to fix it from within with C4L allies or stay on the outside frustrated trying to figure out why you hate politics so much. Get involved everyone!
