Alarmed at the spot in which we now find ourselves, those of us who love liberty and choose personal responsibility and pine for limited government are now wondering what can be done to rectify this detestable mess. This website is my contribution to the cause of resistance against the Socialist State we have become. My immediate goal is to push back against legislation to further entrench the power-grabbing, aristocratic Congress and Executive branches of the federal government, what is referred to as "The Ruling Class" in "The Audacity of Common Sense".

Year after year in Congress, Rep. Ron Paul [R, TX-14] has introduced a bill to abolish the Fed (H.R. 833). Though the bill has a dedicated network of citizen supporters - see the End the Fed network - it has never made any legislative progress or gained a single co-sponsor. This year, however, Paul has introduced a toned-down version, along with the original, that is gaining co-sponsors quickly and could actually get a vote this session - the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. The co-sponsor list, currently at 58, is strongly bipartisan. It includes progressive Democrats like Rep. Alan Grayson [D, FL-8] and Rep. Henry Waxman [D, CA-30], Blue Dogs like Rep. Gene Taylor [D, MS-4] and Rep. Collin Peterson [D, MN-7], and conservatives like Rep. Michele Bachmann [R, MN-6] and Rep. Scott Garrett [R, NJ-5].
