After a few emails I have finally received a response from my representative, Congressman Jay Inslee (WA 1st congressional district). His response is generic like the others who will not state whether tor not he will support it. Anyone in the 1st District, please keep the pressure on him. He does not give any reason as to why he will not co-sponsor this bill. He needs to hear our voices and support this piece of legislation or at least give a reason as to why he opposes it.
Dear XXXX:
Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. I appreciate hearing from you.
As you may know, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act would authorize an audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve banks to be completed before the end of 2010. The report would include a detailed description of the findings, conclusion and recommendation of the Comptroller General for legislative or administrative action. This bill has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, on which I do not sit. However, should this legislation come to the House floor for a vote, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind on this issue.
Please continue to contact me about the issues that concern you, as I both need and welcome your thoughts and ideas. As a service to my constituents, I maintain a website which contains valuable resources and information on Congressional activities. Please feel free to visit the website at http://www.house.gov/inslee for information on recent issues and to learn more about the services my office provides. If you have not done so already, please visit http://www.house.gov/inslee/signup.htm to subscribe to my e-mail updates.

I wanted to express a few predictions that I have and what better place to do it:
1.) Within the next 6 months, the United States dollar will no longer be the reserve currency for the world. Instead a new reserve currency will be formed. This will either be created by the IMF (International Monetary Fund), The World Bank or by the United Nations. A global central bank who controls the money supply would be even more detrimental to America's sovereignty than the current Federal Reserve system. Americans would no longer have the option of voting in or out the representatives that could effect change. The US congress would no longer possess that authority.
2.) Americans will start to see the effects of inflation (the increase in the money supply). Between the Federal Reserve and Congress, America has printed and/or borrowed trillions of dollar over the last 6 months. It will only be a matter of time before the basic law of economics comes true. The simple principal is the more dollars that are in circulation, the less they are worth. Once the recently allocated dollars start to actually enter the economy, the purchasing power of our dollar will undoubtedly slide.
3.) The amount of supporters for The Constitution, Freedom, Liberty & personal responsibility will continue to increase. There will be an ideological revolt in this country. Many people will continue to wake from their slumber and start to educate themselves on what has made this country so great. Political discussions will no longer be kept in the closet. Americans will start to pay more attention to their Representatives and Senators and start to vote them out.
What are your predictions?
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
-Thomas Jefferson

I read an article over the weekend that frightened me. I am not surprised by it due to my lack of confidence in our political system, but was surprised to see it released. The article is about how the US Justice Dept released 9 secret Bush administration memos. The memos demonstrate how the previous administration viewed rights provided to us by The Constitution, specifically the 1st & 4th amendments and how they do not apply if we are at war.
The 1st amendment is: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peacefully assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Here is what the memo said about the 1st amendment:
"First Amendment speech and press rights may also be subordinated to the overriding need to wage war successfully. '"When a nation is at war many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.' ... No one would question but that a government might prevent actual obstruction to its recruiting service or the publication of the sailing dates of transports or the number and location of troops."
Am I taking crazy pills? Free speech may not be allowed if the nation is at war. Something seems very wrong with that statement. Does it sound like freedom to you?
The 4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
How about their interpretation of the 4th Amendment?
"In light of the well-settled understanding that constitutional constraints must give way in some respects to the exigencies of war, we think that the better view is that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to domestic military operations designed to deter and prevent further terrorist attacks."
All I have to say is "Wow." These thoughts and actions taken by the previous administration are un-American. Their construed view of The Constitution (most likely for power or money) have infringed on my freedoms. Are my rights granted by The Constitution going to continue to be taken away by a few in power? Am I able to even write this? After-all, we're still at "war" and some would say my thoughts are a "hindrance to it efforts."
Don't believe me? Read the memos for yourself:

The time we spend at work is worth a certain monetary value. The government then takes a percentage of the monetary value we earn, called taxes. What they are essentially doing is taking our time. What a person chooses to do with their time should not be taken nor decided by our government.
Is this concept simple enough for the sheeple to understand it? I feel if people started to view money in the form of time, they would think differently about how our government and taxes.
"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
We must make our election between economy and liberty
or profusion and servitude.
If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and
in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and
our amusements, for our calling and our creeds...
[we will] have no time to think,
no means of calling our miss-managers to account
but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves
to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers...
And this is the tendency of all human governments.
A departure from principle in one instance
becomes a precedent for [another ]...
till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery...
And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt.
Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson
