I Live in Wrigleyville and work in Riverwoods for a publishing company called CCH in the Tax and Accounting Publishing division. I was born in western New York but grew up in the Chicago suburbs of Naperville and Aurora. I attended Waubonsie Valley High School, Illinois State University (Bachelors in Mass Communication) and DeVry, Addison campus (Bachelors in Telecommunication Management). I currently work as a Project Manager for CCH and recently helped deliver the industry leading Tax, Accounting and Legal research platform known as IntelliConnect.
I discovered Ron Paul while watching the presidential debates and found that his true Conservative message resonated with me. I decided to learn more about Ron Paul by reading his Texas Straight talk posts and his book Revolution: a Manifesto. Dr. Paul's book made me change my thinking about Republican politics and it was his other book A Foreign Policy of Freedom that changed my mind about the Iraq war and our foreign policy of empire building. Like Dr. Paul, I believe the Republican party has lost its way so I joined the Campaign for Liberty in October because I believe in the platform Dr. Paul stands for and want to dedicate my time to reforming the party by supporting candidates who share a belief in Personal Liberty, upholding the Constitution, a Monetary Policy based on sound money, a Foreign Policy that promotes freedom and a smaller Federal Government.
Paul, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, said Mel Watt, a Democrat from North Carolina, has eliminated "just about everything" while preparing the legislation for formal consideration. Watt is chairman of the panel's domestic monetary policy and technology subcommittee.
Today, Representative Watt's Campaign Finances were examined in the financial bloggosphere to try to elaborate on the congressman's motivations for gutting 1207. The findings were not suprising...
There has been lots of speculation on why Representative Mel Watt has done his best to make sure that the Audit the Fed bill will be gutted, and why the Congressman is willing to promote the same irresponsible and unaccountable bubble-inflating behavior that got us to the current Fed-sponsored, bubble-reflation attempt, which is practically guaranteed to end much worse than just a few Goldman competitor banks imploding here and there.
Which brings us to Mel Watt's competition for the 2010 cycle, a Mr. Paul Johnson from Tyro North Carolina.
Tyro resident Paul Johnson, 34, announced Tuesday his intent to challenge Democrat Rep. Mel Watt as the Republican candidate for the N.C. 12th District seat in 2010.
While I have no idea whether Paul Johnson is idealogically alligned with the Campaign for Liberty or not, it is clear that Representative Mel Watt is not and will do anything to satisfy the demands of his bankster overlords.
Perhaps it is time to throw our support behind Audit the Fed in a different way... such as a money bomb towards Mel Watt's competition in hopes he can unseat this barrier to economic freedom and prosperity.

"Big Government - Is there anything they cant do?"
This is an AWESOME parody in response to Will Ferrell's recent video for moveon.org where he and a lot of Hollywood actors made a satirical PSA to help Health Insurance Execs.
This is a great rebuttal video. It just demonstrates that all of the star power and capital of Hollywood, combined with the state controlled media channel's, can't beat grass roots creativity.
IMPORTANT MEETING, PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO ATTEND!
We will be reviewing and discussing the plan for 2010 and the group needs your feedback!

At this meeting we will discuss where we are headed next and how we can work together as a team to overcome the challenges we face bringing the message of Liberty and Freedom to Cook County.
Thanks again for a great summer! See you Next Wednesday, October 21st!
Scott D,
Thank you for the post.
Would it do any good for the general public to send similar letters to Mr. Dodd?
Mr. Dodd is not doing so well in the polls, and letters like this might make him rethink what he is doing.
We have put a stop to the health care bill by voicing our concerns loudly and often.
Could the same type of action work in this case, do you think?
Thank you,
Robert Walker
Good idea rightsman, I suggest we write to everybody in the senate. I just finished my letter to Senator Feingold. I will start writing to Senator Dodd.
Ultimately, I think Bernanke will be confirmed. What Dr. Paul and Rep. Grayson have done however is documented the good Chairman's egregious acts for the historical record and let the Senate know that they are continuing to take extraordinary risks with the economy by supporting a central banker who is as brazen as Ben Bernanke. I suppose a letter writing campaign couldn't hurt, but would we really want someone else running the show. After all, we might end up with Larry Summers. yikes!
I think Grayson is trying to help get Peter Schiff into the Senate since they know each other and Schiff contributed to Grayson's campaign. Grayson is returning the favor of sorts.
