The St. Joseph News-Press did a follow up story on a post we did last week on Sen. McCaskill’s recent “Kitchen Table” talk in independence. What we focused on in the post was the senator’s skipping and dodging of a simple request from a constituent named Paul Hamby: “Will you support a current amendment to audit the Federal Reserve?” She called the ideas of the sponsor of the amendment, Cong. Ron Paul of Texas, “wacky.”

“Paul Hamby flinched not a bit at the description. Surprise does his activism little good.

He stood in a crowded meeting room to ask U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill about a piece of legislation that would mandate an audit of the Federal Reserve. Congressman Ron Paul, the former presidential candidate, offered the bill and made the cause a rudiment of his followers’ post-campaign movement, Campaign for Liberty.

Mr. Hamby, a Campaign for Liberty regional coordinator, heard the senator call some of Dr. Paul’s ideas “wacky.”

Nothing that followed suggested endorsement of the proposal, nor did it unsettle Mr. Hamby. If the idea was to marginalize the idea and the people backing it, he’s seen that before. Read more…

We applaud Mr. Hamby for being both informed and persistence. He is just the type of citizen that Mr. Nixon and Ms Napolitano seem to like to investigate.
