Official H.R. 1207 Cosponsor Thread

[NYgs23]

I think the president can veto any bill, regardless of how many vote for it. If 290 step up after the veto, then it becomes law. In this case, however, probably very few Dems would defy Barry Soetoro's veto. But, who knows? It will be interesting to see just exactly how much influence Barky will have. His ratings are in a downward spiral, and I imagine that most Congress critters would rather get reelected than play party allegiance, if push came to shove.

If that's the case, maybe it is better if this bill takes a long time to pass. The more time passed, the lower his approval rating is likely to be.

Sharp thinking. I'm pretty sure RP has several contingency plans to make the maximal impact. I think he has a lot going for him right now. If the grassroots can really turn up the heat, in can only help him..

Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters on an account which is not theirs: upon virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: 'Account overdrawn'.

Holy f$cking $hit, my congresswoman co-sponsored the bill.

I've been writing and calling her for months and only got very condescending responses. Now she's a co-sponsor.

Let's get this thing done!

Why Don't Limbaugh and Hannity Support Ron Paul's Bill to Audit the Fed?

Decided to put my 2 cents (which is now 4 cents after inflation) into the arena on Auditing the Fed...

Why Don't Limbaugh and Hannity Support Ron Paul's Bill to Audit the Fed?

Someone has to hold these guys accountable!

I believe the 280 includes RP. So that's 279 cosponsors.

How come none of the MSM are shoving a microphone in Pelosi's face and asking "Why is there no vote on HR 1207, when the majority of Americans wish for it?" This means that the majority of Americans want this bill to pass. So, how can she justify not bringing it up for a vote? Think I'll call her office tomorrow...
