I just sent this letter to Senator Nelson. I called him too.
There is a vote in the Senate tomorrow to re-confirmed Ben Bernanke as head of the Federal Reserve.Until S. 604, the Audit the Fed Bill, is given an up or down vote on the Senate floor, Senator Nelson should vote against his confirmation.
I called your office, and the person who answered the phone said Nelson already supports a different "audit the fed" bill. Last time I checked, he was the only co-sponsor.
Nebraskans' are not stupid. Supporting this bill (a bill that has no chance) simply allows him to tell people he supports an audit of the Federal Reserve, even though he has no desire for a real audit. Politics as usual - seems to be a trend with Senator Nelson.
The fact is, the Federal Reserve can buy anything from anyone, using money they create to pay for it, and NOBODY - not even Congress - knows who that money is going to or what it is buying. Currency is the foundation of any economy. Destroy its value and you destroy the wealth and prosperity of the country.
For every dollar that the Federal Reserve creates, the purchasing power of MY savings and retirement is reduced. I'm sick if it.
If Nelson cares at all about Nebraskans, he will vote for a REAL audit and vote against Bernenke's confirmation.
Thank You.
Nelson is in real trouble in Nebraska. His policies and politics align more with Washington D.C. then with Nebraska. He could potentially redeem himself somewhat in my mind if he put up a real fight against the Federal Reserve. I highly encourage everyone out there call him (and Sen. Johanns) and tell him to vote against Ben Bernenke's confirmation.
Senator Mike Johanns: 202-224-4224
Senator Ben Nelson: 202-224-6551
No Audit, No Bernenke.

Excel_Geek I called Nelson's office and let known my desire for Senator Nelson to not vote to reconfirm Bernenke unless he co-sponsors and then votes in favor of S. 604. "Mark" said he'd pass along my message.
