Letters I’ve written on these issues. Use them as you see fit.
Reject Bernanke:
Dear Senator Casey:
In your new legislative session you will be asked to confirm Ben Bernanke as the Federal Reserve chairman for another term of office. I strongly urge you to reject his nomination and force him out of office. His policies have done nothing but prop up failing banks and financial institutions, most notably Goldman Sachs, at the expense of the people of this country and other rival firms.
Mr. Bernanke has utterly failed to put forth a policy which gets help to people in this country who are struggling under massive debt, loss of jobs, foreclosures, etc. It is about time that someone takes the initiative and tells these appointees that it is time for them to go home.
As my Senator I expect that you will do everything in your power while in office to see to it that your constituents needs are met and that in these trying times policy will be geared toward helping working families and individuals.
The Federal Reserve under the direction of Bernanke has embarked on a dangerous road that could lead to hyperinflation or some other calamity. It is time that we stop rewarding failure in this country.
Reject Bernankes re-nomination and appoint someone who has a new policy that will directly aid people in this country and not prop up failed banking houses that will give multimillion dollar bonuses to their CEOs and upper management. We need sound fiscal policy and we need a Federal Reserve chairman who is completely devoid of ties to Wall Street which has completely dominated all financial policy in this country for too long and which has led us into the economic mess that we are in.
You can take a step in the right direction towards getting the country out of the hands of Wall Street speculators by rejecting Bernankes reappointment to the FED chair.
Thank You:
Napolitano needs to go:
Dear Senator Casey:
I am writing today to urge you most strongly to admonish or ask for the dismissal of Janet Napolitano from her position as head of Homeland Security as she has supported the Homegrown Terrorism report which was a cobbled together mess compiled from outdated sources by the Southern Poverty Law Center which styles itself as an anti-hate group but which is in reality an anti-free speech group which uses outdated and erroneous information to justify its labeling of groups as hate groups.
For Napolitano to rely upon the work of this group which itself relied on outdated and bogus information contained on websites which contained no original research and which subsequently labeled war veterans as potential domestic terrorists as well as those who support the constitution. This is shameful and a disgrace. This woman should hold no public office, let alone an office which purports to provide security for the homeland from terrorists when she has totally given up on her duties to rely upon accurate information to compile reports which would be used by the government and police groups.
Please take action on this matter as it is a very important matter, which should not go unnoticed.
Sincerely:

Nabers Group http://www.Nabers.com, recently caught up with Thomas Woods the author of the best selling book Meltdown. Learn what he has to say about auditing the Federal Reserve (FED).
Currently, over 300 Congressmen Republicans and Democrats in the House Of Representatives have co-sponsored a Bill HR 1207 – dubbed Ron Paul’s Audit the FED Bill, which would allow Congress to audit the FED.
With the national debt spiraling out of control and fiscal policy seemingly unmanageable, many taxpayers want to see the FED audited. The proposed bill will force the FED open their books to the US taxpayers and their Representatives.
FED Chairman, Ben Bernanke, and US Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, according to Thomas Woods are deeply concerned about the possibility of the FED being audited. What is even more suspicious to Woods is that Tim Geithner has publicly expressed concerns although he is not part of the FED.

Mr. Speaker, the big guns have lined up against H.R. 1207, the bill to audit the Federal Reserve. What is it that they are so concerned about? What information are they hiding from the American people? The screed is: “Transparency is okay–except for those things they don’t want to be transparent.”
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke argues that H.R. 1207, the legislation to audit the Federal Reserve, would politicize monetary policy. He claims that monetary policy must remain “independent,” that is, secret. He ignores history, because chairmen of the Federal Reserve in the past, especially when up for reappointment, do their best to accommodate the President with politically driven low interest rates and a bubble economy.
Former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns, when asked about all the inflation he brought about in 1971, before Nixon’s re-election, said that the Fed has to do what the President wants it to do, or it would “lose its independence.” That about tells you everything. Not by accident, Chairman Burns strongly supported Nixon’s program of wage and price controls, the same year; but I guess that’s not political. Is not making secret deals with the likes of Goldman Sachs, international financial institutions, foreign governments and foreign central banks, politicizing monetary policy? Bernanke argues that the knowledge that their discussions and decisions will one day be scrutinized will compromise the freedom of the Open Market Committee to pursue sound policy. If it is sound and honest, and serves no special interest, what’s the problem?
He claims that H.R. 1207 would give power to Congress to affect monetary policy. He dreamt this up to instill fear, an old statist trick to justify government power. H.R. 1207 does nothing of the sort. He suggested that the day after an FOMC meeting, Congress could send in the GAO to demand an audit of everything said and done. This is hardly the case. The FOMC function, under 1207, would not change. The detailed transcripts of the FOMC meetings are released every 5 years, so why would this be so different, and what is it that they don’t want the American people to know? Is there something about the transcripts that need to be kept secret, or are the transcripts actually not verbatim?
Fed sychophants argue that an audit would destroy the financial market’s faith in the Fed. They say this in the midst of the greatest financial crisis in history, brought on by none other than the Federal Reserve. In fact, Chairman Bernanke stated on November 14, 2007, that “a considerable amount of evidence indicates that central bank transparency increases the effectiveness of monetary policy and enhances economic and financial performance.”
They also argue that an audit would hurt the value of the U.S. dollar. In fact, the Fed, in less than 100 years of its existence, has reduced the value of the 1914 dollar by 96 percent. They claim H.R. 1207 would raise interest rates. How could it? The Fed sets interest rates and the bill doesn’t interfere with monetary policy. Congress would have no say in the matter; and besides, Congress likes low interest rates. It is argued that the Fed wouldn’t be free to raise interest rates if they thought it necessary. But Bernanke has already assured the Congress that rates are going to stay low for the foreseeable future, and, again, this bill does nothing to allow Congress to interfere with interest rate setting.
Fed supporters claim that they want to protect the public’s interest with their secrecy. But the banks and Wall Street are the opponents of 1207, and the people are for it. Just who best represents the “public’s” interest? The real question is, why are Wall Street and the Feds so hysterically opposed to 1207? Just what information are they so anxious to keep secret? Only an audit of the Federal Reserve will answer these questions.
