“Last week, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission kicked off their first round of hearings on the causes of the economic meltdown on Wall Street.  The commission is being compared to the the Pecora Commission launched in 1932 to investigate the causes of the Great Depression.  The Pecora commission is beloved by those who believe the solution to every problem is more laws because it was used to justify a number of new laws, including Glass-Steagall.  Of course, none of those laws addressed the real causes of the Great Depression.   It was the introduction of unsound monetary policy and central economic planning pursued by the Federal Reserve that really threw everything off balance.  The Fed was founded in 1913 to stabilize the economy and prevent a recurrence of the short-lived Panic of 1907, but instead it promptly produced the Great Depression which lasted more than 15 years…”

The Very Busy Politicians in Washington DC

“With a faltering economy, multiple wars, and the approaching demise of the dollar’s reserve status, there are more than enough problems to keep politicians in Washington working day and night.  In between handing out cash for clunkers and nationalizing healthcare, the administration is busy sending more troops overseas, escalating existing wars, and seeking out excuses to start new wars.  Congress is working on “urgent” legislation to address crises like healthcare reform and climate change.  The reforms are so very urgent that legislation must pass swiftly with no time to read the bills even though the new laws wouldn’t take effect for several years!  Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is busy dealing with our dollar crisis by printing up more dollars…”

My friend sent me this and I thought some may find interest in a gentleman named Peter Schiff.

Will you fight?

Peter Schiff is a world renowned international investment consultant, best selling author and owner of the Euro Pacific Capital brokerage firm.  He is quickly becoming an Internet and main stream media sensation.  The “Schiff Was Right” youtube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I0QN-FYkpw ), that has now been seen over 1.4 million times, shows both media pundits and economic experts alike ignore and in some cases mock Peter’s astute warnings of the coming economic crash.  Peter comes from a lineage of freedom fighters who have passionately stood for principled government in our time, and now Peter Schiff is offering our movement a rare and valuable opportunity by running for United States Senate against incumbent Chris Dodd in the state of Connecticut.

As a master of the market, Peter has learned well that the best decision making follows the heart and is tempered by the intellect.  Today his heart and passion tell him NOW is the time for him to run for office. The free market economy that made America great is on the verge of being trampled by a odious mixture of socialism and fascism.  Our freedom movement needs a strong voice in a strong office to speak sense and reason to Washington.  Peter has proven he is that voice and the United States Senate is that office.  But as a practical matter he knows he cannot do it alone.  Now he turns to you and asks if you will share in his passion to return America to the economic freedoms and sound money principles that made it great.  Now he asks you join his campaign to take America back.  Now he asks you…will you fight?
