When Questioning the Fed Goes Local

"While the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?"
--V (V for Vendetta)

This story recently aired on a local news show. When local media outlets begin airing pieces that question the Federal Reserve, then it is hard not to feel an uptick in optimism.

Ron Paul's 'audit the Fed' bill has passed the House and now sits on the desk of Senate majority leader Harry Reid (NV). One would think this bill would proceed to the Senate floor given Reid's part on-the-record comments that the Fed should be audited. But, surprise, surprise, Reid has recently changed his tune and now vows not to introduce the bill for a vote.

Politics and integrity are the stuff of oxymorons.

Regardless, increasing public awareness of the Federal Reserve will be central to Ron Paul's legacy. As more people at local levels come to understand the damage that this institution has done to freedom, then social power grows and State power weakens.

At some point this social power will topple the Harry Reids of Washington.
