Tough Tough Times in California’s Economic Crisis

What have you done about it?

Here’s a start - H.R. 2755: The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act

To abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes.

Per the Congressional Research Service the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act Abolishes the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as well as each Federal Reserve Bank and repeals the Federal Reserve Act.

This Bill has been referred to House Financial Service Committee (See Below)

Committees are like "mini Congresses". Most bills begin by being considered by one or several congressional committees which may "report" the bill favorably or unfavorably to the Senate or House as a whole allowing it to receive consideration by the full body and move forward, or may fail to consider a bill at all preventing the bill from moving forward. Most bills never receive any committee consideration and are never reported out. House bills start in House committees and enter Senate committees only after being passed by the House and received by the Senate, and similarly for Senate bills.

Information on committee proceedings is notoriously opaque: committees vary in what information they make public and often do not provide basic public information such as the results of votes electronically or in an understandable format. Furthermore, if your Member of Congress does not sit on any committee relevant to this bill, you generally have no opportunity to voice your opinion on the bill while the bill is receiving its most important consideration.

California, it’s time to make the change, not just believe in it. Find your congressional district here: http://www.calvoter.org/voter/maps/statewide/congress.pdf

Then check if your rep is in this list and call in a favor, make sure they know their next election is at stake:

Rep. Maxine Waters [D-CA] – 35th

Rep. Brad Sherman [D-CA] – 27th

Rep. Edward Royce [R-CA] – 40th

Rep. Gary Miller [R-CA] – 42nd

Rep. Kevin McCarthy [R-CA] – 22nd

Rep. John Campbell [R-CA] – 48th

Rep. Joe Baca [D-CA] - 43rd
