Liberty MavenRon Paul raps: The Fed, The Fed, The Fed is on Fire, We Don’t Need No Water, Let the…

If you don’t already know it, the headline is an embellished version of a quote from an old school rap song circa 1985 by Rock Master Scott and The Dynamic Three called, “The Roof Is On Fire“. The song is almost as unbearable to listen to as it is to listen to Rock Master Bernanke and The Non-Dynamic Timmy Geithner. The non-embellished version of the headline begins about 4:25 into the song so feel free to use the bathroom during the first portion after clicking on the link above so you don’t have to sit through the entire song.
Meanwhile, I can just hear Ron Paul singing my embellished version of the song as he walks around Capitol Hill grinning from ear to ear thanks to the recent explosion of support for HR1207, his bill to audit the Federal Reserve. The news hit yesterday afternoon that there are now 88 cosponsors of the bill, an increase of 33 in the past 2 days. Perhaps all those “End The Fed” signs at the Tea Parties twisted the arms of some of Paul’s peers.
I finally got a response from my Congressman about HR1207. Congressman Frank Wolf responded by telling me he’d consider the bill when/if it comes up for a floor vote. Well, thanks for putting your neck out there Frank. My question was, “Will you either cosponsor or support HR1207?” I can only assume at this point his answer is no to both. Yet another reason to vote for whomever is opposing him in 2010.
During Freedom Watch yesterday Ron Paul claimed confidence that the bill would come up for a vote at some point this year. Judging by the recent explosion of support for it, I can see why he is a confident man. Perhaps not confident enough to break out into his own rendition of an old school rap song on the House floor, but we all know he’s singing on the inside.
Contact your representative right now and ask him/her to support HR1207 if they haven’t already done so. If they have, then call them up and thank them for supporting it. Ending the Fed has to start somewhere.
After contacting your lawmaker, be sure to preorder Ron Paul’s upcoming best seller, not suprisingly entitled, “End the Fed”

Interesting. I always heard the song as "my ass, my ass, my ass is on fire…."

Keep pushing, I got the same stock answer from my congressman. It's a auto-generated response.
Tell me if it looked like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23430339@N03/3442530…
Call his office, ask to meet with him. I printed out the C4L petitions and had them signed by around 200 constituents (I am 20, and too poor to print more than 200 copies at kinkos). Then deliver them in person – and then if he doesn't cosponsor it make a huge racket.

Gnagy,
That is almost exactly the one I got as well. So out of touch these people are.

Marc, Actually, if you look up the bill on Thomas.loc.gov, it says there are 84 co-sponsors.

Yes, We are going by information from the C4L. Hopefully it is reliable.
They are up to 92 now.

Yeah, I just noticed that.
When does Congress usually update the co-sponsor lists, and do they work on Sundays, unlike the USPS? Lol.
Thanks.
