The original proposal to have independent audits of the Fed was voted down.
The vote that passed which PR Watch reported on was a limited one time audit. That vote gave our representatives cover that they are fighting for us--bull!
The banks are winning as witnessed by the vote against the Kaufman-Brown amendment to break up the "to big too fail banks."
Thanks for letting me know about this PR campaign. I'll buy one for my wife, one for my mother, two for my daughters. Maybe S&W will give you a commission for promoting their products and programs.
Dear Ms. Taliaferro:
You are absolutely correct, and I very much appreciate your pointing that out. I have corrected this and added some additional information. I once knew this but had focused on her experience in state politics and recalled her lack of prior federal judicial experience. I really appreciate your taking the time to write in and help improve our work! Lisa
I wish I had something constructive to add, but I don't. I feel powerless. I appreciate your emails and writings to keep me informed and help me to take action.
Toward the end of the article you state that: "In contrast, Sandra Day O'Connor, who had no judicial experience, turned out to be more of a fair pragmatist than I have sometimes given her credit for."
While I don't think prior judicial experience should be considered a requirement for appointment to the Supreme Court, I believe this statement is incorrect. Sandra Day O'Connor did have prior judicial experience. She served on the Arizona Court of Appeals, and before that on the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Thanks for letting me know about this PR campaign. I'll buy one for my wife, one for my mother, two for my daughters. Maybe S&W will give you a commission for promoting their products and programs.
