Greetings to Florida's defenders of liberty!
The drive to audit the Federal Reserve continues to gain momentum thanks to hundreds of thousands of patriots like you that have made their voices heard on this issue. Now we need your help again to make sure that our efforts end in victory. We will get an audit bill passed if we get your support!
Here's the situation:
Right now there are 282 co-sponsors to H.R.1207 in the House of Representatives. That's just under 2/3rds of the House, a truly remarkable accomplishment. How did we get there? By calling our congressmen, signing petitions, sending letters, and by letting our representatives know in every possible way that this issue is important to us and important to America.
But there is still work to be done in the Senate. The Audit the Fed companion bill, S.604 has 23 co-sponsors. That's a great start and the bill is certainly gaining momentum, with 20 co-sponsors since the 4th of July. But to overcome resistance from the Senate leadership, we're going to need even greater support.
We didn't come this far to watch an audit bill stall out in the Senate!
That's why the Campaign for Liberty is organizing a nationwide effort, "30 Days of Action," to bring as many senators as possible on board with S.604. Last spring a similar effort for H.R.1207 resulted in over 50 new co-sponsors as the support in the House doubled in just a few weeks.
Since that time our organization has grown and the American people have become increasingly aware of the damage being done to our country by the Federal Reserve. Over 75% of Americans want to see an audit of the Fed, and Americans actually think less of the Federal Reserve than the hated IRS. We've made monetary policy a key issue in the public conscience. Our efforts can and will be more successful during these coming 30 Days of Action.
Here is what we need from every lover of liberty in the state of Florida: 1. We need you to sign and collect petitions for S.604. Your local coordinators will be contacting you on where you can sign or help to collect petitions. But you don't have to wait for instructions! Visit the Campaign for Liberty website or the brand new AuditTheFed.com to download and print petitions and get any signatures you can. This is the perfect time to get out and meet your neighbors and spread the message of liberty.
2. We need you to talk to your Senators at public appearances. Politicians are hiding from protesters unhappy with big government, which means we don't know where or when Senators Nelson will make an appearance. Who knows who & when Governor Crist will appoint? Keep your eyes open, and if there is going to be an event make sure that you talk to your Senators about S.604.
3. We need you to sign-up to call your Senator's office. The last week of the 30 Days of Action will include a nationwide phone campaign to keep our senator's phones ringing off the hook. Go to the AuditTheFed.com website and sign up for a time to call. Then remember to call both Senators. Our goal is to have someone call every 5 minutes. That's just 500 callers for the entire week, a goal we should accomplish easily. If you forget to sign-up or you can't find a convenient time available, don't let that stop you. Make the call!
4. We need everyone to show-up for the big petition drop-off event on September 15th at 4PM in Orlando & Tampa. The Campaign for Liberty's 30 Days of Action will culminate with nationwide visits to local Senate offices. Our goal is to have over 100 people show up for the Orlando & Tampa rallies at the Senators' offices to drop-off thousands of petitions.
Make plans to be there! If you can't make it to this location, contact your local coordinator with the Campaign for Liberty. Smaller events will be planned at office locations across the state.
We know what we have to do to succeed. We also know that victory could mean a revolution in the United States' monetary policy, once the workings of the Fed are finally revealed.
To make things interesting, Campaign for Liberty is upping the stakes. The person who gathers the most signatures in each state will win a pocket Constitution and a copy of Dr. Paul's new book End the Fed, both autographed by Dr. Paul himself.
And whichever state collects the most signatures (as a percentage of population) will win a $1,500 gift certificate to the Campaign for Liberty store.
If that's not enough motivation (really?), the Campaign for Liberty is offering prizes for truly outstanding efforts. The person who collects the most signatures in the state (as certified by a State, Regional, or County Coordinator) will win a Campaign for Liberty silver coin and a pocket Constitution autographed by the great Ron Paul. And if Florida collects the most signatures (as a percentage of the population), we'll win a $1,500 gift certificate to the Campaign for Liberty store.
But the only prize we really need is an audit of the Fed. And it is going to happen, if we all act now!
Any Questions? Contact our Florida Audit the Fed Coordinators, Christina Gomez and Chris Alterio or our State Coordinator, Mark Cross.
Great post Mark. Hope everyone who reads it will do everything they can to help get our Senators on as cosponsors and to get this passed.
We've come this far! Now let's ram an audit straight down the Federal Reserve's throat and get to the heart of what's really going on with our monetary system!

Dr. Paul has given us a clear and strong voice of leadership on the intent of the Founding fathers. Please share your experience at the conference with those of us who are financially unable to attend. Can't wait to help the constitution get back to its role as the guiding light to a free society. Thanks for all you are doing.
I would love to know why we should pay $175 for tickets to see Dr. Paul speak. This is insulting. We all give what we can, when we can, to the cause of liberty. This includes our time, effort, and money in many cases. But to charge $175 is disgusting and offputting.
While I support what C4L stands for, neither me nor my family will be members any longer. I think you've already strayed from your "grassroots" roots in a most unsettling way. What a shame.
Delivered as only Fred Thompson can....a great satire on a very sad state of economic affairs.
I was laughing and groaning at the same time.
Thanks for the vid.
hey thanks for the add a friend. very interested in Dr. Paul and his ideas but a little skeptical. I am very interested in helping the poor and PRIVATE social programs to helping the poor and impoverished. Im still doing my research. I am just not sure on dr. pauls positions on childrens rights when parents are not CLEARLY doing their job. Please do not confuse this with a simple difference of opinon. I am actually talking about education, under dr. paul he would do away with the department of education and if so parents would not have to send their kids to school/not be able to afford it. If a child wants to go to school but a parent does not allow because they do not care about the child or some other problem, what chance does the child have? Under dr. paul a parent has any right to do what he or she wants with their child, including not sending them to school or other as i view basic rights. If you could please clairfy this for me it would be very helpful. (I am not trying to be sarcastic, if it is viewd in that way. just curious.) thank you and looking forward to the revolution!
Way to Go Mark... We need new RPOF leadership in Florida and the removal of Greer and his underhanded secret rules that were soley based on minimizing core value opposition state wide. He empitimizes and advocates political corruption that begs to be cleaned out of our party. We're behind you 100%.

Twenty Seven Floridians attended the Leadership Summit at the Rally for the Republic, where we learned about the organization and the goals of the Campaign for Liberty. Many more Floridians attended the Real Paulitics Training Seminar, which described how politics really works and what makes politicians respect you. And hundreds of Floridians attended the Rally for the Republic, where Dr. Ron Paul electrified the audience with one of the best speeches of his distinguished career.
Now the Campaign for Liberty has finally started! Those of us who attended the Rally for the Republic were sitting on pins and needles waiting for the Campaign to kick off. Now it's here!
As of today, there are over 500 Floridians who have registered with the Campaign for Liberty.I'd especially like to thank the Precinct Leaders for coming forward, and I encourage everyone reading this to either become a Precinct Leader or volunteer personally to assist one.
The job of the Precinct Leader is going to be especially important in the days and weeks ahead. The Campaign for Liberty is a grassroots organization, beginning from the smallest political unit: the precinct. As a Precinct Leader, you will have the tools you need to canvass your precincts and identify other supporters. You will also be in a position to communicate with voters in your precinct about the important issues of the day.
And while the website is adding features every day, there is still plenty for us to do right now.The Campaign for Liberty website will be interactive with other Precinct Leaders, County Coordinators, and District Coordinators.You will be able to post announcements, post your own blog, and create a calendar of events, plus a whole lot more.As the Campaign grows we will be appointing interim County and District Coordinators.
As a Precinct Leader, you will have a voice in the leadership at both levels and the opportunity to be elected. This is where your hard work in your precinct will pay off, as your fellow Precinct Leaders recognize your dedication.If you would like to nominate someone from your county to be a County or District Coordinator, just go to your dashboard and submit a nomination form.You can even nominate yourself if you want to step up to the plate.The only requirement is that you must be a Precinct Leader to be eligible for these positions.
In the days to come, we will be learning more about our precincts and introducing ourselves to our neighbors. So take a deep breath and let's get started! Feel free to ask me any questions as we go along, or you can ask other Precinct Leaders as well.
Thank you for being a part of history as we work to restore the American republic and once again show the world the true blessings of liberty.
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."
—Thomas Jefferson
