Now in August 2007, the world financial systems and investment markets, real estate and the availability of credit are all under direct assault due to past actions of the Federal Reserve in the United States.

Read and sign the Ron Paul Is Right – Abolish the Federal Reserve Petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/fed/petition.html

Please link to the petition and forward this message to your friends and help the general public wake up during the current financial panic conditions to the problems we face from the Federal Reserve and Ron Paul’s solution.

Also read comments from hundreds of signers who aren’t shy in saying what they think of the FED.

FEMA screwed so much up. If we were a wealthier nation I would count on volunteers before I would ever trust the Gov. again. The states have to ask for federal assistance before they could come in. Luckily, the National Guard responded immediately and saved lots of lives without asking permission.

It took Dubya three days.. THREE DAYS.. to fly over and only then he realized that more needed to be done. He hired a lackey with no experience to run FEMA and it showed. FEMA turned away fuel and water to the local police that desperately needed it. The National Guard took law abiding citizens guns in New Orleans. Those four things alone made me come to dispise the leadership from the top down.

Bush has none of his cohorts left. Everyone has left his side.. Its so obvious that we need change in America.

I dont agree with Ron Paul on everything. Thats not the point though. I believe in Ron Paul. A humble leader and the only voice of reason I hear on the presidential race.

Lets hope we get a Dr. instead of a lawyer this time around.

Most First Aid Squads and Fire Departments were volunteer. Some still are. In my town, in the past, once a year they’d pass the hat and ask for a donation. Over the years, as the taxes rose, they were squeezed. Fewer volunteers had the time to donate. Everything cost more, so everyone was working more and making less. Then there were all sorts of laws, regulations, and diktats pressed on them by Municipal, County, State, and Federal bureaucrats. Eventually it became a tax. And, it’s an example of how gooferment is like the Blob. It takes over everything. Some wag described gooferment as the only organization that can force you to pay exorbitantly for services that you neither asked for or want and then deliver them in the worst possible manner. I’ll take my chances on the marketplace. As a footnote, in the “old days” response times were better, but now three vehiciles show up at every call (i.e., police, ambulance, and paramedic). And, they send you a bill for the service in addition to the taxes. Argh!

You are the exact type of American to whom we are attempting to appeal through the ongoing construction of this third party. I too was a Democrat, until I realized that the Congress and its members is controlled by the Party leadership, who sets the agenda, and the Party leadership is invariably concerned with appealing to those with resources - in the economy and elsewhere - in order to procure the necessary finances to protract the Party leaderships positions of power. I then became a Green Party member, until I realized that the Greens exhaust all of their time quibbling over bylaws and other concerns that are endogenous to the Party itself. I am now in the Populist Party of America, and for once I feel as though I am contributing to something that is transparent with respect to its ultimate agenda, and egalitarian in respect that anyone can join and assume a capacity where he or she feels that his or her talents are being taken advantage of. Please feel free to contact me or others, because you most certainly share in our sentiments.
