01/23/10 1:00 PM 2010 Iowa Caucuses
Iowa republicans and democrats will hold their 2010 precinct caucuses on the same day. These are party organizational meetings where members are elected out of the precinct to seats on their County Central Committee. Attendance at these "off-year" caucuses is much lower than during presidential election years and it's a great opportunity to get more involved!
When any big name politician comes to Iowa there is only one question that pops into people's mind and Congressman Paul's trip to Iowa was no exception. The question that kept coming up at the events in Iowa: "Congressman Paul, Are you running for President in 2012?".

Kathie Obradovich, the political columnist for the Des Moines Register, has a very fair article today ahead of Congressman Paul's visit to Iowa this Friday and Saturday.
Iowa Campaign For Liberty had a great presence today at the Iowa Tea Party Statewide Convention. Thanks to District Coordinator Roger Barr for his leadership and to all our great ambassadors. We had a nice booth and lots of our members and leaders worked the crowd and networked with elected officials, candidates, and leaders of other grassroots groups. We promoted Dr. Paul's big Iowa events next week and signed up dozens of new members!
Our own Iowa C4L Chairman Dr. Drew Ivers was interviewed at the event today. Here's an excerpt from O.Kay Henderson's story on Radio Iowa:
Drew Ivers, a long-time GOP activist who led Pat Buchanan's 2000 Iowa campaign and led Ron Paul's 2008 campaign, is now part of a group called "Campaign for Liberty." I ran into him at the Campaign for Liberty table. I asked Ivers to assess the "tea party" coalition and Ivers suggested the general theme for each component group was a desire for "less government."
"We just want less government, not more and of course we're getting more every day and we're saying, ‘Let's slam on the brakes. Don't just veer off to the right in the fork of the road ahead. Let's slam on the brakes, try to put it in reverse and go in the other direction,"" Ivers said, adding it's time to shrink the size of government.
As for the message of the tea party coalition: "We're just telling our political system...we're fed up. We just want less."
Ivers hopes to movement moves beyond a rally three or four times a year. "Let's be connected and ready for action 365 days a year," he said.
*****NEWS FLASH*****UPDATE***** H.R.1207 STILL ALIVE!******UPDATE***** NEWS FLASH*****
FELLOW IOWA PATRIOTS,
It has recently been reported that RON PAUL'S "Audit the Fed" bill, H.R.1207 had been gutted! While the "Good Doctor" was in town, this past weekend, (11-12/13-09) I was able to ask him about that report and get an update directly from him! He let us know that, "While Mel Watt had offered an amendment to the bill in committee,(which would gut portions of the bill), He has been asked by the Chairman, Barnie Frank, to offer up his own amendment, which He is working on." He is still comfortable, "at this time", with the possibility of H.R.1207 making it out of committee and accomplishing his original goal of a "Full Audit of the Fed."
My conversation with Dr. Paul, left me with the feeling that He had not given up on H.R.1207 making it out of committee intact,andneither should we!
Why the "LINE-OUT" above? Because H.R.1207 has just made it out of committee INTACT!!!!! Yes, Ron Paul's "AUDIT THE FED" bill is still alive and well at this point! There will be more hurdles for us to jump as we continue to push for a FULL AUDIT of the FED and we will take them on as we come to them, in the mean time, take pride in your accomplishments in keeping H.R.1207 alive and moving forward!
Just for the record, (in case there are new readers to this blog) The Iowa C4L patriots have been successful in obtaining co-sponsorship of all five of our congressmen to H.R.1207 in the house, and both of our senators to S.604, however, it is always possible for an elected representative toremove their co-sponsorship of a bill and support a different bill.We Do Not Want That To Happenwith any of ourelected representatives! They are exactly where we want them right now!
Just in case your wondering why we need to Audit the Fed? Watch The Inspector General of the Federal Reserve, Elizabeth Coleman, display her Keen Understanding and Great Knowledge about where all those Trillions of dollars have gone! (can you say,RAT HOLE!)

There are times in a persons life, where you have acquired something from the past, that you know will come in useful someday, so you stick that "something" in draw, or a folder, or a file until that "someday" arrives. Well, that "someday" has finally arrived!
The following story was told by a credit manager of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, back in the late 1930's. His name, Mr. Robert Hemphill. It is the story of our money......
Once upon a time, to the Temple of the Thirteen Suns came the rich and powerful Chief Oomah the Third, who said to the goldsmith of the Temple, Hansen L. Roschab, "I have much gold and am about to depart for a far country. Wilt thou keep this gold safely for me against my return a year hence? I will pay thee well."
The wily Hansen coughed loudly and covered his countenance with a cloth lest the rich Oomah the Third observe his joy to have his treasure in his possession. When he was calm and could look serious he said unto Oomah, "It is a very great responsibility and risk, but I will undertake it for a tithe which shall be 1 shekel in every 10."
Then said the Chief Oomah, "Its a deal," and forthwith his slaves delivered many bags containing in all a thousand shekels of gold, for which Hansen L. Roschab, the goldsmith, gave the Chief a parchment deposit writing payable to whomsoever; and thereupon Chief Oomah departed happily upon his journey.
As soon as he was well out of the country the shrewed Hansen called his confidential scribe and bade him thus, "Go thee now to the merchants whom I tell thee of and secretly say to each that thy master hath a little gold for hire upon good security," and the servent departed swiftly.
Soon there came to him a great merchant, who said, "Hansen, you old crook, I am in a jam for a few shekels of gold. Wilt thou lend me?" Hansen replied, "Money is very tight these days, but it might be arranged. What is thy need?" The merchant answered, "Two hundred shekels."
Then said Hansen, "It is much money. What security could st thou pledge for so great a sum?"
Then the merchant showed Hansen a writing of his possessions of merchandise to the amount of a thousand shekels. Hansen said, "It is not enough; thou must also pledge thy dwelling and thy slaves and thy raiment," whereupon the merchant, after much protest, pledged all his possessions, even unto his innermost personal raiment.
Then said he to Hansen, "I have no place to store so much gold, keep it safe for me and give me a writing which I may deliver to whomever I will," and Hansen did even so.
The next day came another merchant, and another and still another, and to each Hansen shewed the great store of gold of Oomah the Third, and to each he pretended to loan a portion, although he had previously loaned it all to the first one who came.
Hansen reflected much upon this curious state of affairs, and said to himself, "Thes birds know not how much gold I possess. They do not want the actual gold itself; what they really want is credit, some deposit writing which they may pass from hand to hand as money. I have one grand idea."
And it came to pass at the end of another 10 days, Hansen had pretended to loan to many more merchants and had given writings of deposit for a second thousand shekels, making 2,000 shekels in all, although he had only 1,000 shekels, and still had all the gold.
Thereupon Hansen caused it to be noised about that he possessed a vast store of gold for hire, and many merchants came to borrow, and to each Hansen delivered writings of deposit and collected generous usury and demanded pledges from each of all his possessions even unto his innermost personal raiment, until he held mortgages on substantially the whole city.
Then went Hansen to the wise man of the city and said unto him. "Verily I have discovered the greatest racket of all time. I have learned the magic of making gold out of baloney, and if I can keep my formula secret for a few years, I will collect a fortune that will make Solomon's treasure look like a second-hand clothing store. Tell me how I may keep secret this bonanza for mine own profit."
Then said the wise man,"Look wise and say little and only upon little known matters afar off. Obtain the ear of the town crier. Engage him to spread the impression that money is a mysterious subject which no one understands save thee alone. Be friendly with the king's councilors and grant their favors that the king may smile upon thee."
And Hansen did as he was bid and collected much usury from his phony loan deposits and built for himself a mansion and collected works of art, and clothed his wives and concubines with fine linen and jewels, and when his business had grown to many times its humble beginnings, he took over the entire temple and by way of a sly joke called it the First National Bank, the same being from an obscure language meaning "Place of Imaginary Money."
And this is the reason all banks have great marble pillars and bronze doors, so that they may resemble outside as well as internally the "Place of Imaginary Money" which Hansen L. Roschab build-ed upon the gold of Oomah the Third in the Temple of the Thirteen Suns.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, that is the story of our money, as told by Mr. Robert Hemphill, who was for 8 years; credit manager of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
This is also the reason that we need to "AUDIT THE FED", so that we can "END THE FED."
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."
