Shuler Refuses To Accept Petition In Support Of HR1207

Posted on April 30, 2009 in Action Alerts, FederalNo Comments »

Matthew Hoagland, a local activist and BCGOP member, who collected signatures in support of HR1207 at the Asheville Tax Day Tea Party, sent the below message today. Matthew was scheduled to hand-deliver his petition to Representative Heath Shuler today. HR1207 is a bill to Audit the Federal Reserve. What follows is his account of what happened:

Friends of Liberty,

Earlier today I went to our nations capital to deliver our H.R. 1207 Petition to Rep. Heath Shuler. Not only did he not acknowledge the delivery of the petition, he had his secretary, after a brief closed-door consultation, tell me that no Press Secretary or other staff member of any importance could sign off on the delivery.

Of course, Shuler, who remained in his office for the entire hour I was in his office building, refused to see me or even be reached as well.

Our new mission is clear. It is now our duty to flood Rep. Shuler’s Washington office and come out in strong support for this bill. The pressure is mounting and with enough phone calls he will cave.

Shuler’s Washington number is: (202) 225-6401. Please call and push this important legislation through.

In Liberty,
Matthew P. Hoagland
