Congressman Watt Guts Bill to Audit the Fed

→ Washington's Blog.

Ron Paul tells Bloomberg that Congressman Watt has just more or less killed the bill to audit the fed:

Representative
Ron Paul, the Texas Republican who has called for an end to the Federal
Reserve, said legislation he introduced to audit monetary policy has
been “gutted” while moving toward a possible vote in the
Democratic-controlled House.

The bill, with 308 co-sponsors,
has been stripped of provisions that would remove Fed exemptions from
audits of transactions with foreign central banks, monetary policy
deliberations, transactions made under the direction of the Federal
Open Market Committee and communications between the Board, the reserve
banks and staff, Paul said today.

“There’s nothing
left, it’s been gutted,” he said in a telephone interview. “This is not
a partisan issue. People all over the country want to know what the Fed
is up to, and this legislation was supposed to help them do that.”..

Paul,
a member of the House Financial Services Committee, said Mel Watt, a
Democrat from North Carolina, has eliminated “just about everything”
while preparing the legislation for formal consideration. Watt is
chairman of the panel’s domestic monetary policy and technology
subcommittee.

Contact Congressman Watt and tell him what you think.

It's only fitting that a representative who was elected due to illegal racial gerrymandering (Mel Watt) is supporting more illegal activity of supporting the Fed fraudsters.

Who is the puppet master? Rep Mel Watt is probably doing this at the behest of Nancy Pelosi or someone at the White House.
