Cain Buys Copies of His Autobiography with His Own Campaign Funds-Another move like a true insider!

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!

Recently in a presidential debate, presidential candidate Ron Paul responded to Herman Cain's statement about the Federal Reserve saying "spoken like a true insider".

Paul's response was said after Cain defended the Federal Reserve and one of it's former chairmen, Alan Greenspan. Cain then explained that he had a couple of  people in the wings for chairman of the Federal Reserve position if he becomes President, but they would have to remain "secret" until he is elected. That's when Paul responded with the words "spoken like a true insider".

"Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny."  Robert A. Heinlein

Let's not forget the fact that Cain is a Pro-Fed Shill that claims he can reform the Fed by sticking another "Alan Greenspan" type of individual in the position of Chairman, but has also in the past worked for this private banking cartel as Former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City!

But wait! - there's more...

Herman Cain is one of the presidential candidates running in the 2012 elections, and is being promoted as a hopeful contender against Barack Obama. A recent Rassmussen Poll claims Cain beat Obama in a recent telephone survey with 43% while Obama had only 41% support.

An article from Fox News  on September 29, 2011 reports that Herman Cain is now striking a chord with the GOP faithful as well. The article states:

Long-shot Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is not such a long shot anymore. His short declarative sentences, resonant voice, and plain-spokenness is a style that's apparently striking a chord among the GOP faithful.

The article goes on to state that " Cain's strength comes as his latest book is poised for release on October 4th..."

The book is entitled "This is Herman Cain, My Journey to the White House".

In a bloomberg article coming out this morning however, it shows the true Herman Cain - the one whose campaign has spent $4 million dollars to his motivational speaking company for airfare, lodging, supplies and his books!

Although his autobiography was published by a division of Simon & Schuster Inc., Cain paid Stockbridge, Georgia-based T.H.E New Voice Inc. $36,511 for books. His campaign spent $4 million through Sept. 30, including more than $64,000 paid to his motivational speaking company for airfare, lodging and supplies, as well as the books.

 Of course the smooth-talking former CEO of  "Godfather's Pizza" has defended the move by saying the sales are in compliance with FEC rules since his campaign is buying the books at the going rate for the materials.
The conflict with this is whether the money is coming back to Cain's pockets - money that is from campaign contributions!

The FEC allows campaigns to buy candidates books as long as they do not profit from the book sales.

The article shows that another GOP candidate and Insider Newt Gingrich faced similar ethics issues in 1994 with one of his books:

Another 2012 Republican presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, faced ethics issues over a $4.5 million book advance he was offered in 1994 from a publishing unit of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., shortly before becoming House speaker. Amid critism from lawmakers from both parties, Gingrich agreed to forgo the advance and just take royalties.

Ron Paul is right about Herman Cain, he is truly another Insider who will follow in the same steps as Bush and Obama when it comes to policy. Nothing will change with the Fed, foreign policy, or domestic issues currently in place which are destroying our nation. By his own words he has shown that he will not seek to End the Fed, but instead continue on with the private Banking cartel that has devalued our currency by 95% since it's establishment in 1913.

Take some time and research the track record of Ron Paul. Look at his history of voting consistently within the bounds of the constitution. The future of the Nation depends on each of us.
