You’ll never hear the name of Samuel B. Fuller in your African American Studies class. His story is a remarkable one, but not exactly a narrative your Marxist professor wants heard.
On January 12, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (S. 2232) is scheduled for a vote in the Senate. Authorizing review by the Governmental Accountability Office of our nation’s monetary policy, the bill was introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). But the bill’s final vote is arguably due to the legacy of the Senator’s father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), who championed the causes of sound money and central bank transparency over his 12-term career in Congress. Dr. Paul is the subject of this week’s Profiles in Liberty.
On Wednesday evening, FreedomWorks was proud to host a town hall meeting with Congressman Thomas Massie in the Cincinnati suburban community of Erlanger, Kentucky. The event was co-hosted with the Northern Kentucky Tea Party, a group of local grassroots activists fighting for fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. Mr. Massie has a lifetime FreedomWorks score of 94%, indicating a pristine pro-liberty voting record.

But nearly as often, right-to-work laws at the private sector level were also explored and implemented, perhaps most infamously in the case of the state of Wisconsin under Governor Scott Walker.
