NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – Representative Ron Paul of Texas spoke to a packed crowd of students in Nunemaker Hall located on Loyola’s main campus this past Wednesday. The lecture covered monetary policy of the FEDERAL RESEVE and our nation’s continued foreign policies, both issues that brought throngs of formerly apathetic voters to his 2007 campaign for the Republican Presidential Nomination.

In addition, Dr. Paul offers his opinion on the economic recovery policies begun under former President George W. Bush and continued under President Obama, and the effectiveness of such programs as “Cash for Clunkers”. The lecture runs approximately sixty-minutes and is contained in its entirety within the YouTube video Playlist below.

Ron Paul: Success of Movement to Audit the FED Depends Upon American People

Allison Bricker

HOUSTON, TEXAS – This past Friday, Representative Ron Paul (TX) spoke at the ‘John Birch Society’ luncheon and discussed the various paths, H.R. 1207 “The FEDERAL RESERVE Transparency Act of 2009″, and its companion bill in the Senate, S. 604 may take as they wind their way through Congress. Speaking pragmatically, Dr. Paul said:

“The odds of this bill [H.R. 1207] being passed…as a stand alone bill, quite frankly I think are very slim.”

Continuing, he feels that the odds more likely favor a strong effort from the Congress to attach a watered down version of H.R. 1207 to separate legislation in order to provide the appearance of appeasing the growing calls for true transparency in monetary policy. However regardless of the legislative paths, Dr. Paul indicates that the issue’s ultimate success or failure will depend upon the ability of the American people to come together via peaceful protests, letter writing, and phone calls in order to exert additional pressure upon their representatives in both houses of Congress.
