Ron Paul on Fed Interest Rate Cut

Ron Paul on Fed Interest Rate Cut

by | Aug 2, 2019 | ,

Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul issued the following statement regarding the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it will be reducing interest rates for the first time in a decade: “The Federal Reserve’s reduction of its benchmark interest rate from 2.25% to 2% is a textbook illustration of a popular definition of insanity: taking the same actions over and over again and expecting different results. Since the stock market meltdown of 2008, the Fed has unsuccessfully tried to pump up the economy via historic low interest rates and Quantitative Easing. As anyone except those who believe...

This Week in Congress

by | May 23, 2019 |

The House is in session Tuesday through Thursday. Among the legislation the House will consider is H.R. 1500. This bill officially changes the name of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It also lays out the responsibilities of the agency and limits the amount of political appointees that can serve at the agency and requires the Executive Branch to provide “adequate staffing” for the agency. The bill is a response to the Trump Administration’s efforts to reduce the CFPB’s power to impose costly regulations on the financial services...

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Movement

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Movement

by | May 2, 2019 | ,

Since today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is fitting to reflect on the legacy of Sophie Scholl, leader of the White Rose movement. The White Rose movement was a group of German students who distributed pamphlets calling for active, albeit peaceful, resistance to the Nazi regime. The White Rose movement came to an end in 1943 when its leaders were arrested, tried, and beheaded. Even though they knew they faced certain death, Sophie Scholl and her fellow White Rose members refused to renounce their beliefs. Read more about the White Rose movement here. Here a few of my favorite quotes from...

Norm Singleton: Trump Has Been Neo-conned

by | Apr 17, 2019 |

Campaign for Liberty President Norm Singleton issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s veto of S.J.Res. 7, which directed him to end US involvement in the Yemen Civil War: “As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to end military interventions in conflicts unrelated to American interests. Not only are there no American interests in Yemen, US support for Saudi Arabia’s horrific actions in Yemen endangers America by giving the region one more reason to resent the US. It is disappointing (to say the least) to see the president once again neo-conned into supporting a...

When They Came for Julian Assange

by | Apr 14, 2019 | ,

You probably heard Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, was arrested by British authorities yesterday. Mr. Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012. Assange is expected to be extradited to the United States, where he will face charges for “conspiracy to commit computer intrusion,” for helping then-Private Bradley Manning create a secure password to allow Manning to hack defense department computers and download classified documents. The documents would then be transmitted to Wikileaks via a drop box. The US Government’s argument is that anytime an individual...
