The last link is the most relevant.

Obviously Ezra isn't God or anything, but he throws a little wonky left-of-center stuff out there that would perhaps contradict the need for this to be the omfg-call-your-senators moment of your life.

And even more obviously this forum is too bipartisan and process-oriented for any real call to action to be effective.  There's nothing you can say here that would result in a single call to a Senator's office.  

No matter your political ideology or your opinion on the audit movement, there is a very cool process story behind this Sanders amendment.  

And I have a hard time believing that Sanders is a genuine sellout, he would probably be in the top 5 of Senators who would be willing to be the lone votes for or against bills, no matter how popular or unpopular, up there with Coburn, Bunning, Leahy, etc.

96-0: Fed Audit Passes Senate

Sanders expects us to believe that a bill that easily passed the U.S. Senate unanimously actually does anything to really rein in the Fed?

Why does Sanders have this incentive to pull the corporate wool over our eyes, exactly?  Is he a pawn too?

How should I know what Rahm and the banksters promised (or threatened to do) to Sanders?

I'm sure they threatened his reelection chances and then his family.

Ron Paul is the only politician you should trust.
