Petition to Demand the Federal
Reserve to Account for $2 Trillion
of U. S. Taxpayers Money


 

Information and Petition

The Federal Reserve has refused to disclose the recipients of more than $2 Trillion worth of loans from U.S. Taxpayers and the assets that the Federal Reserve has accepted as collateral. Therefore, every American man, woman and child has personally cosigned for over $6,000 of loans made by the Federal Reserve without knowing any information on these loans. If these loans are not repaid the American People will be liable for $2 Trillion.

When the Federal Reserve "lends" out money and that money is repaid, there is no cost to the American taxpayer. But when the Federal Reserve "lends" out money and that money is NOT repaid, then the American Taxpayers are liable for that money. Therefore, the American Taxpayers are cosigning for every dollar that the Federal Reserve "lends" out.

The Federal Reserve has the authority to "lend" to American financial institutions AND "U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks." Therefore, if a foreign bank has just ONE branch in the United States the Federal Reserve can "lend" to that bank (This information is taken from the Federal Reserve Website: http://www.frbdiscountwindow.org/mmmftc.cfm?hdrID=14&dtlID).

This Country is in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and yet the Federal Reserve is risking $2 Trillion of American Taxpayers money.

"The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers. The unprecedented pledge of funds includes $3.18 trillion already tapped by financial institutions in the biggest response to an economic emergency since the New Deal of the 1930's, according to data complied by Bloomberg," (Bloomberg News, November 24, 2008 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=an3k2rZMNgDw&refer=home).

Where does the Federal Reserve get the money? "It creates it out of thin air, simply writing checks on itself and giving them to banks. If that sounds fishy, then you understand it just fine," (The Revolution, A Manifesto by Congressman Ron Paul, Page 141).

In that context, "The Federal Reserve refused a request by Bloomberg News to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from U.S. taxpayers and the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral." Bloomberg News has filed a lawsuit under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act to obtain this information from the Federal Reserve. (Bloomberg News, December12, 2008, http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ news?pid=20601109&sid=aGvwttDayiiM&refer=home)

Therefore every American man, woman and child has personally cosigned for over $6,000 for the money loaned out by the Federal Reserve without knowing who the money was loaned to and what collateral has been accepted by the Federal Reserve as backing for these loans.

Why is the Federal Reserve refusing to reveal who they loaned out $2 Trillion to? This most likely means that most of the loans will never be repaid. Since the Federal Reserve is continuing to lend out money the problem doesn't stop at $2 Trillion.

The most effective way to end the enormous financial crisis our Country is in today would be to put money directly into consumers hands because consumer spending "accounts for 70 percent of the economy" (The New York Times, January 14, 2008, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/14/business/14spend.html).

Therefore, if the next $2 Trillion was used as a Tax Cut it would mean that NO ONE would have to pay PERSONAL Income Tax for a year and a half. Think what that would mean to your financial situation.

The lawsuit filed by Bloomberg News may take a long time to be resolved. "It would really be a shame if we have to find this out (who the Federal Reserve has "lent" the $2 Trillion out to) 10 years from now after some really nasty class-action suit and our financial system has completely collapsed" said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. (Bloomberg News, December 12, 2008, http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aGvwttDayiiM&refer=home).

Therefore, we are petitioning the Federal Reserve to release this information. Should the Federal Reserve refuse to release the information, we are calling for an immediate National Advisory Referendum to be held on this issue 90 days from the time that Congress authorizes the election.

The severity of the economic crisis that this Country is in means that the American people cannot sit back and let events take place. We are at a point of whether or not our economic system, and therefore the Country, will survive. It is imperative that every American act now!
