Where were you on Friday, February 27, 2009?
I know for sure I'll never forget.
It was the second day of the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., and the first time C4L hosted a "Liberty Forum" at the Conference.
But more importantly, it was at that Liberty Forum that C4L officially announced our intention to push a little-known bill to thoroughly audit the Federal Reserve.
The excitement and energy were contagious.
Hundreds of volunteers came in from all over the country to make C4L’s CPAC debut a great success.
That weekend, they made sure that thousands of attendees knew we were going to pursue unprecedented transparency at our nation’s central bank... and that we weren’t going to stop until we had won.
Fast forward a little over three years, and it’s amazing what we have achieved.
Almost 80% of the American people have joined us in the call for a full audit.
Our pressure in 2010 led to the passage of a limited disclosure that, while far from what we ultimately wanted, proved the Fed had put the American people on the hook for trillions in addition to our national debt.
And it set the stage for a renewed effort this Congress.
But your help now may be the key to victory ... or disappointment.
What we started in a standing-room-only event on one Friday night in February 2009 has us on the verge of making history this July, with the full U.S. House set to vote later this month on a thorough and complete audit.
This would have been impossible without the support of you and your fellow C4L members.
So today, I want to ask you to rally with us one more time in support of Audit the Fed.
C4L wants to contact millions more Americans to not only pass Audit the Fed in the U.S. House, but carry a grassroots tidal wave of momentum over into the U.S. Senate this fall.
On Thursday, July 12, C4L will hold an “Audit the Fed Moneybomb” in order to raise funds to turn up the pressure on Congress to pass H.R. 459 and S. 202!
I hope you will make your plans now to give to this effort.
I want to fill the internet with Audit the Fed banner ads, run Audit the Fed television commercials, recruit new supporters with direct mail and email, and make sure that everywhere the politicians turn, they see one simple message: Audit the Fed!
The policy-makers and pundits never expected our grassroots effort to get out of the gate, let alone be set to win this race.
But should we really be surprised that those who have been so wrong about our country and our people in the past missed the mark yet again?
You and I have put hundreds of politicians on record, placed an issue once considered “fringe” right in the middle of the political conversation, and forced one of the most powerful institutions in Washington to play defense.
So let’s finish this fight and turn Audit the Fed into the law of the land.
Please, plan today to give on July 12 and help us make this Audit the Fed Moneybomb as successful as possible.
We’ve come a long way since the Liberty Forum at CPAC 2009.
And we can advance our movement further than ever before by passing Audit the Fed in the House this July!
In Liberty,
Matt Hawes
Vice President
P.S. On a Friday night in February 2009, C4L introduced Audit the Fed to a standing-room-only crowd at our CPAC “Liberty Forum.”
A little over three years later, we have ignited a nationwide grassroots movement that has put hundreds of politicians on the record, brought the issue into the political mainstream, and made one of the most powerful institutions in Washington play defense.
But now we have our best chance ever to finish the fight.
On Thursday, July 12, C4L will hold an “Audit the Fed Moneybomb” to raise funds to recruit millions more Americans to our cause.
Please make plans now to give to this Moneybomb and help us turn Audit the Fed into the law of the land!
