It really doesn't matter which president is in office as long as the corporations are still running the show.

“You have a uniquely important responsibility. You are the guardians not
only of what kind of president we will have, but what kind of future we will
leave to our children.
“You deserve real substance, not mere rhetoric. By describing my detailed
plans, I hope this book will allow you to make an informed decision.”

The truth is that Washington is broken – rigged by the powerful
special interests and lobbyists to benefit the very few at the
expense of the rest of us. Because our government no longer
works for most families, we risk becoming the first generation of
Americans that fails to pass on a better life to our children.
This is not the America I believe in. Together, we can reclaim our
government and redeem the promise of America for our children.
You have a uniquely important responsibility. You are the
guardians not only of what kind of president we’ll have, but what
kind of future we’ll leave to our children.

... too many politicians and lobbyists are spending America into ruin. We are nine trillion dollars in debt as a nation. Our mounting government debt endangers the financial future of our children and grandchildren. If we don’t cut spending now, higher taxes and economic disaster will be in their future — and yours.

In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to “we the people.”

Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending.

We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It’s called the Constitution of the United States.

Why are some people on this thread so willing to trust that the Federal Reserve and the central banking system in general is the best way to handle the economy. If its just so kooky to believe the Federal Reserve my not have our best interests in mind then tell me why there has never been ONE SINGLE AUDIT of the Federal Reserve since its inception in 1913. Why, tell me why, does it charge interest on the money it prints up for the government? Now that sounds like a scam if there ever was one. Regardless of someone's opinions on fiat currency, if we want to use it, why don't we just have the Dept. of the Treasury print it up interest free instead of getting this third party involved that says the government has to borrow it from them and then pay interest on it AKA we pay back the debt in taxes? Notice next time your holding a dollar, that it does not say United States Treasury Note, it says Federal Reserve note. I need not mention that the Board of Governors is a totally non-transparent, unelected group of men who can't get fired by Congress or voted out of office if they screw up, as they have with this wonderful little situation we have with the plummeting dollar and the subprime mortgage fiasco.

Hey , that (non) federal (n0)reserves (Not) banks ,,thing needs to be solved out once and for all, I have been wondering where the headquarters to that place is myself, many times. I don't think it is in this country, I would guess that it is in London. Let me know when you find out for sure where it is. I don't think any of us knows where their headquarters is and by design(intended to be hidden) They will not tell you who the owners are either. This is not something they want to brag about. But I really believe it might be a true underground economy, owned by about 5 families, I have my doubts that it is even incorporated, just a wild guess, hows that for speculation? when you find out the truth to that question, anybody, I want to know about it. Then ,I want to tell the whole world about it ,to get us all woke up to how they robbed us of our everything ,including our sustenance(daily bread, and our homes and families, and even our health.)These federal reserve people are probably the worst criminals that have ever been on this planet with the private federal reserve ponzi scheme. OH , but I do believe that the private collection agency(irs)for the private federal reserve resides in Puerto Rico. Surely they must know and WOULD BE WILLING TO TELL US?(probably not) Check that out WHO and WHERE the bosses are? WOULDN"T THEY???? I WONDER IF THEY WOULD TELL??? (probably not) You might want to check on the private for profit socialistic insecurity system too. Oh ,and while you are doing that one , How about the Private for profit postal service. Are you getting scared yet? Maybe ,I am just crazy, but, then again, I just may be wide awake on these ponzi games , that is what I think , Any of you smart people that like to ridicule when you don't know the answers , I recommend you start taking this stuff deadly serious, like you would a heart attack. I have been spending years working on untangling these things and I still don't have it all figured out, but ,I want your help to get this matter settled forever without any question of what the truth is on these things. The BIG BOYS don't want you to know what they have been doing to us with their private for profit(supposed non profit) corporations . Also you might want to check a lot of the non profit corporations too.(see what they really are up to) I recommend seeing what Bill Gates and his non profit bunch are up to. Could it possibly have something to do with your food supply. He is helping us save seeds too, right,millions of varieties of seeds right,He is helping us ,RIGHT??? RIGHT!!!!NON PROFIT and NO SELFISH MOTIVE ,RIGHT??? RIGHT!!!

The Marriner S. Eccles Federal Reserve Board Building houses the main offices of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board) in Washington, D.C. The building was designed by Paul Phillippe Cret and finished in 1937. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dedicated the building on October 20, 1937.

The building was named after Marriner S. Eccles, a former Chairman of the Federal Reserve by an act of the United States Congress on October 15, 1982. It is considered one of the most significant buildings in the United States.

No, the president can't do it by themself, we need to do our part to push congress to make the decisions best in our interest.

I do beleive that Ron Paul has the American peoples best interests in mind, not corporates. Sadly, I think this is why he will not win, or even be noticeed much in the polls.

If the Ron Paul supporters would give up their fantasy of getting Ron Paul elected, and somehow miraculously Dismantle the Federal Reserve,

Would get behind someone with real vision for the American People! (JOHN EDWARDS)

A man who has set goals within the Realm of Reality!

Then America with one voice, instead of two or three,.... "each shouting an identical message,"

could give him the power to actually make a difference and take our government back from Corporate interests!

There has to be something said for a man who is willing to put his promises down,,,,
in writing,,,,,,,
in an 80 page free publication,,,,
as a pledge to the people!

Ive Voted since I was old enough to vote, and Ive never heard tell of a politician doing that before!

I think it shows commitment
I think it shows integrity, and
I think it shows heart!

I'm voting for Him,
I'm Voting for John Edwards

SMO,

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is an independent federal government agency.

The Board of Governors does not receive funding from Congress, and the terms of the seven members of the Board span multiple presidential and congressional terms.
