I am trying to purchase half of my gifts here in the USA this Christmas.

Can you answer this question? Thanks in advance.

Christians need to start spreading the word to stop the hate. Why can you not discuss this issue in a public format. Christmas is a festive holiday season. Chistmas is about peace and goodwill. Hanukkah is the same. This holiday season should be focused on mending wounds. This holiday season people should be discussing solutions to the problems. And sharing more openly about their faith. Tolerance needs to be found. Jesus is about love and sacrifice. What does Moses stand for? Why does Mohammad not believe that Jesus was the Son of God? Speak your mind.

I really like the idea of supporting American manufacturers. Even if it cost a little more, they hold or increase their value.

The leaked information was sent to MSNBC In fairness ABA stated that they did not accept the proposal.

If the Tea Party joined forces with Occupy Wall Street on this one issue, they would be a force to be reckoned with.

Also, John tell me more about the financial overthrow of Greece, Italy. It appears France may be next.... I can't stop thinking about my family's Spanish, Scottish, Slovakian, and Irish homelands. And May the Lord Forbid it coming to the United States of America. We as a PEOPLE need to know actually where the wealth comes from. What is the secret formula? (Coke reviewed their secret recipe). Special thanks to the Discovery, History, PBS for putting the pieces together. And CBS 60 Minutes should be given extra applause for revealing the cronyism going in the halls of the United States Capitol Building.

The way the Federal Reserve behaves in disclosing information that is of the interest of the WE THE PEOPLE, if nothing is done with them it can be assumed that there could be a overthrowing coming to the United States of America. In the a Financial Dictatorship in the form of bribing and extorting our executive, legislative, and judicial branches and public servants. I challenge every global citizen to telephone the Federal Reserve Board of the United States and 011+1+202+452+3204 Ask the following queston: If the Federal Reserve Board for the United States answers, I challenge every American to post what response they get everywhere. It means every place where people can connect to it using all forms of media. And please share what you found out here on DCMessageBoards.com,

According to Wikipedia, Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve is independent within government in that "its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government.

A friend I admire and respect replied... I responded... this was in the light of day. Did you read the Vatican's statement? http://www.news.va/en/news/full-text-note-on-financial-reform-from-the-pontif VATICAN QUOTE This process must also involve the emerging and developing countries in defining the stages of a gradual adaptation of the existing instruments.In fact, one can see an emerging requirement for a body that will carry out the functions of a kind of “central world bank” that regulates the flow and system of monetary exchanges similar to the national central banks. If you have time watch the CSPAN video and see how coherent his response to other questions. But, when it came to the soldier's question on the Federal Reserve's response to One World Bank, like a true politician, Bernanke responded without answering the question. He could have stated, "The Federal Reserve's position is not to adapt to One World Central Banking system. One world bank is a fear. As we can see it was difficult to even get a small snapshot of what the Federal Reserve was doing during the financial meltdown. And what was revealed was not good at all. Now imagine the difficulty of having a UN mandated bank. The oversite would be nil. In reality banks would have complete control of the world. My friend replied... Luke, I don't doubt that some want a one-world bank. I just suggest that nobody of consequence in our government agrees. Moreover, our government is so divided this sort of initiative could never get close to passing. There is no doubt that our economy is highly connected to the EU economy, and vice versa. There is also no doubt that contagion impacts us and our institutions. But no US politician could possibly support moving away from the dollar as our currency, or globalizing our central financial institutions. Neither party supports this, and our divided government would never pass this. No matter what the Vatican says, or wants. I responded... I must remind you that the Federal Reserve was created in secret. How can you or and I know the position of our legislators. Did you watch 60 minutes this Sunday. [/url] I just telephoned the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and asked for clarification of their position. Their number is 202.452-3204 I stated at this time of unease it would be good PR to state they are and plan to be only the Central Bank for the United States. And not for the rest of the world. You are a journalist. Use your power and ask. If they contact me I will tell you. If you get a response, then please do me the same courtesy : ) A second good friend responded... I'm more concerned the Federal Reserve is "cozying" up to the military, that is not a good sign................. And the First responded... Luke, I'm just saying our government cant agree on anything, so there is no chance they will all agree on something of this magnitude, or something this politically unpopular. Also, I haven't been a journalist for a long time. Yes, I saw 60 Minutes, and it was highly offensive.

http://www.c-spanvid...rogram/302618-1 Ben Bernanke on the Economy and Financial LiteracyNov 10, 2011Federal ReserveFederal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke held a town hall meeting with military families at Fort Bliss, Texas. Topics included the state of the U.S. economy, fiscal sustainability, the European debt crisis, and financial literacy. Go to the video.00:22:1523 sec. My problem with the Fed Chair response is that he did not answer the question. The only thing I got was a lesson on how our government is responsible to pay any debts our States default on to the Central Bank. The European Union does not have the same system in place. The EU Central Bank is not a government, so it is not responsible to pay that defaulting member country's debt. Bernanke failed to answer the Vatican "One World Bank" question. The Chairman of the Federal Reserve should be able to clearly state an answer. I just hope we do not have another Jekyll Island story where our leaders meet in secret and create one Central Bank of the World.

This is a sad moment for Joe Paterno. My dad and I would watch Penn State vs. Maryland every year. 60 years is a long time to coach. I just shocked in disbelief.

Hope you do not back Rick Perry. After the last debate he needs to step out of the race. What is weird is that he piloted C-130 Hercules cargo planes, which takes intelligence. But, he just does not appear to be the one who can fix our broken economy.

It appears that people of Jewish Faith do not believe in it...

I took my kids to Occupy McPherson square this Sunday afternoon. I saw a tent with an Gandhi avenue address. I wonder if they are getting into a mail system. The people tend to be very kind. Some of the occupiers invited my boy to carve pumpkins with their kids next to the General McPherson statue. Overall the appearance of the place looks about the same, although more hunkered down for the cold weather ahead. Had an interesting conversation with the librarian at Occupy McPherson (Yes they have a library). He believes that outsourcing is not the reason we have unemployment. Rather it is technology that is replacing our workforce. I told him that I believe that both factors were at play. When the topic of currency manipulation came up, he explained that all banks are at fault and we should have no currency at all. Another woman joined in an explained that we should have multiple trade currencies not affiliated with banks. I asked her if she ever used Paypal. She stated that she knew of it and left the conversation. I observed a group of senior citizens being given a tour of the area. Their church clothes stood out in a backdrop of people that have camped out for a few weeks. They seemed to enjoy the enthusiasm of the occupiers.

Too many progressive and conservative extremist want their way or believe "your against us." There was once middle ground between sides. I want a leader in the House and Senate that will compromise. Nancy Pelosi is extreme. John Boehner is extreme. Harry Reid is extreme. Mitch McConnell is extreme.

Imagine turning our nation's garbage dumps into an oil mecca. This man's device converts a kilogram of plastic to one liter of fuel. Gas, Diesel, Kerosine. Imagine skimming all the plastic and Styrofoam floating in our oceans can be skimmed into fuel. People are going to get rich, because of this idea. Spread this idea everywhere.

The Decline in Manufacturing has been going on 40 years now. No Republican or Democrat has changed the decline. This last decade we have seen a much steeper decline due to the opening of outside markets. This decline coupled with increasing government debt is spiraling our economy downward at an accelerated rate. If you add to those two factors the fact that Republicans and Democrats are not working together has created a government that can no longer legislate a solution to the problem. This means Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell need to step down from their governing positions. This means John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi need to step down from their governing positions. Both sides of the aisle need to caucus and get new leadership withing the already elected body that want to work on solutions.
