Video: Congressman Ron Paul -- Aired December 14, 2009
Talk about sticking to your principles. Congressman Ron Paul fights for 30 years to gain momentum in his fight against the Federal Reserve. HR 1207 has 317 co-sponsors in the House (S 604 has 31 in the Senate), and it was INCLUDED in Friday's House vote on (mostly useless) financial reform that passed along party lines, with every single Republican voting 'nay', including HR 1207's lead sponsor, Dr. Paul.

Video: Stark hounds Bernanke after last week's confirmation hearings -- December 3, 2009
The pending reappointment of Ben Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve is the non-story of the Century, and I find this terrifying. Propaganda of his alleged “success” has been crammed in every orifice of the American people by the rich and shameless (yet relatively few believe it). This is truly the time for action, unless you really enjoy Tea-partying ’til you puke. I’m asking every American to demand that their Senators stand up and oppose the nomination. Our future depends on it.
Video: Ratigan with Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC) -- Aired December 9, 2009
This is a phenomenal clip; stay tuned until the end. He goes after the 'Ponzi-scheme Fed' in the final minute. No miss.
In consideration of the previous story, we felt it wise to consider again the prescient thoughts of California Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) who tells Geithner in no uncertain terms that "recycling TARP funds is illegal" under current law.
Can't say this was a surprise; TARP extension (and expansion) right up to the 2010 midterm elections. Of course, it's about recovery and not politics.
