Coalition Guest Commentary - Rep. Michele Bachmann: Federal ACORN Funding Cutoffs Must Be More than Political Posturing
Coalition Commentary - September 21, 2009 - 2:32pmTwo weeks ago, the AP reported that acting under a tip from ACORN, authorities in Florida have arrested 11 individuals accused of falsifying hundreds of voter applications during a registration drive last year. According to the press report, "the suspects collectively turned in about 1,400 registration cards, of which 888 were later found to be faked."
While this was certainly a smart move on ACORN's part to assist in this criminal investigation, this controversial organization is far too often implicated in these falsified voter registration activities. read more »
Say no, Treasury Secretary Geithner, to giving up on American dollar for a global currency
Capitol Notebook - April 1, 2009 - 5:02pmAn upcoming young leader in the United States House of Representatives, second-term Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a Republican from Minnesota, has introduced a bill which would ban global currency.
It is beyond comprehension that Barack Obama's Treasury Secretary actually left the option of ditching the American dollar as the anchor of the global monetary system and adopting a global currency.
The United Kingdom's "Telegraph" said that "US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner shocked global markets by revealing that Washington is 'quite open' to Chinese proposals for the gradual development of a global reserve currency run by the International Monetary Fund."
Obama's Treasury Secretary has now caused two mini-stock market crashes during Obama's presidency with his inappropriate remarks. Undoubtedly, Geithner was trying to gain some favor with the radical internationalists at the Council of Foreign Relations during his appearance before them last week.
The "Telegraph" also reported that the dollar plunged instantly against the euro, yen, and sterling "as Geithner's comments flashed across trading screens all over the world. David Bloom, currency chief at HSBC, said the apparent policy shift amounts to an earthquake in geo-finance. 'The mere fact that the US Treasury Secretary is even entertaining thoughts that the dollar may cease being the anchor of the global monetary system has caused consternation,' he said." read more »
