POPSWall Street Gains, Main Street Pains We have to wonder, "Who's pulling the strings", Audit the fed! On Tuesday, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced "The Federal Reserve Accountability Act," an attempt to kill HR 1207/S 604 by passing a bill that prevents a full audit and full transparency from America's secretive central bank. While language in this bill would permit a limited audit of the Fed's actions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and similar high profile bailouts, it would not allow an audit to review the Fed's inflation of the money supply or its agreements with foreign central banks, among other shortcomings. Let your senators know you expect them to support the American people's demand for full transparency, not some watered down measure designed to stop a full audit! http://www.campaignforliberty.com/index.php#26719 Action needed now! Thanks.

POPSThis Is Amazing! The Ravages of War In Sand This is an amazing political video. Sand artist Kseniya Simonova won Ukraine's Got Talent competition with her sand art interpretation of what Germany's invasion during World War II did to her people. First minute is slow, but turn on your speakers and sit back for an awesome display of story-telling. -JoeDanger (Daily Paul)

POPSThe Enemy Police are educated in the document that people are are anti-abortion, own gold, display an assortment of U.S. flags, or even those that talk about the film Zeitgeist, view the police as their “enemy” and conflates them with domestic terrorists like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph and other domestic militia groups who have been charged with plotting terrorist attacks. The demonization of militia groups is something that we have come to expect, despite the fact that the very same constitution police officers swear an oath to defend outlines the need for “a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”. George Washington himself was a member of a militia.

POPSPaul McCartney Becomes Terrorist Target
"Our enemy's friend is our enemy," the Muslim leader told the Sunday Express. A defiant McCartney has refused to cancel the Sept. 25 concert, despite protests from numerous political groups angry with Israel's policies in the West Bank. He told newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth: "I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel," McCartney said in an interview with newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. McCartney will perform hits from his Beatles days and his solo career during a September 25 concert in Tel Aviv as part of a series of shows that has taken McCartney to cities he never visited before. Asked about how members of the Beatles, one of the most popular bands in rock history, felt when the Israeli government scrapped their concert in 1965 on the grounds it could corrupt the nation's youth, McCartney said it was "a bit insulting, the thought we could corrupt the youth."

POPSRon Paul Will be on Presidential Ballot Paul's name on the ballot could siphon votes from Republican presidential candidate John McCain. In Montana’s June 3 primary, Paul took 20,606 votes, well short of McCain’s 72,791, but still a sizeable chunk of Republican voters. An additional 2,333 Montanans voted for neither, choosing Republican “no preference.” Martin said he would not be concerned if putting Paul on the ballot harmed McCain's candidacy. "If it would affect that, it wouldn't bother us too much," Martin added. "We wanted to put the best candidate that was out there on the ballot."

POPSSome RNC Delegates Give a Little to Get a Lot In the video, WA GOP delegate, Jacob Brassington recounts how he was bribed during the Washington State GOP Convention in an attempt to sway his principled Ron Paul support away to a lesser presidential candidate. That was just at the STATE convention, I am waiting to hear how much was offered at the NATIONAL convention, and I am betting it was more than $500 plus expenses! Would you sell out???

The scores are derived by dividing a congressman’s constitutional votes (pluses) by the total number he cast (pluses and minuses) and multiplying by 100.

POPSWhy Ron Paul Won The Election The words and arguments of Ron Paul are still resonating. They still hang over this election. They are haunting and troubling. They are producing blogs and papers and books. And when those heady days happen a small but hearty band of pioneers, who first had the nerve to join him and start shouting from the street, “They aren’t wearing any clothes,” will be able to say that they could see what the country missed. They were there when history was made. John McCain and his poorly chosen words, of staying in Iraq a hundred years, have almost guaranteed that he will be the answer to the trivia question, who was the Republican candidate who lost to the ticket that claimed the first woman and black for the presidency? Another question may very well be, “What other candidate ran that year and launched the movement that has dominated national politics for the last generation?” And the answer will be Ron Paul.

POPSThis Is Just The Beginning "Politically, we’ll expand the great work of our precinct leader program. We’ll make our presence felt at every level of government, where just a few people with our level of enthusiasm can make a world of difference. We’ll keep an eye on Congress and lobby against legislation that threatens us. We’ll identify and support political candidates who champion our great ideas against the empty suits the party establishments offer the public. We will be a permanent presence on the American political landscape. That I promise you. We’re not about to let all this good work die. To the contrary, with your help we’re going to make it grow – by leaps and bounds. This is the most ambitious venture of my political career, and I think it can achieve great things. But I can’t do this alone. I need you to help me. I need your energy, your creativity, your ideas, and your dedication. People frustrated with our political system often wonder what they can do. " There is much work to do!
