Glenn Beck: The SEC is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act

So now the fed gets no audits and the sec does not have to comply with the law, in other words your money is their money, and that's just the way it is. All people should be writing and phoning the congres and tell them to repeal this statute now, or there will be Heck to pay.

this cannot be allowed to stand.

repealing this legislation is just important as repealing Obamacare.

Folks we are that ' ' close to ending as a republic. If you can say we are even now a republic. November and 2012 are the last two opportunities we have.

Then what?

Anyone here sign up for Beck's Insider Extreme? You need to. Read the Weather Undergrounds manifesto.

…you are most kind.

I'm working on supporting various entities and sites that currently have better resources/finances (like this great work from RS), some with research… all with participating as cogently, clearly, and fact-based TRUTHFULLY as possible.

But maybe someday, soon (I'm actually thinking of doing daily vid-casts on news, history and Constitutional items of importance for the day/news…).

I'm not surprised. You surprised? Shouldn't be.

Like Glenn said, we can't get violent, though. We're also close to having a breakthrough. ^_^

Now Obama can use the SEC to shut down political opponents businesses that he disagrees with for “irregularities” and you wont even be able to ask why.. America is over an the Banana Republic has formed , i cant wait until the riots start

Can you smell it?….. Good ol communism.

I save a lot of pages using IE by clicking on PAGE at top next to tools. Yours may be different. If you see PAGE, click the down arrow then save as ,then you will see Web Archive, single file MHT I Save a lot of Web Pages that way. It works about 90% of the time.

This is very bad news indeed. Not only does this make SEC held unaccountable by us, it could lead us in the near future of another financial collapse. Remember that this is the same agency that missed Bernie Madoff and some of their employees were caught looking at porn sites during work hours, on our dime. I am just disgusted! I hope there will be someone who will challenge this in court.

Governmental transparency is gone. GONE. The government can now SHUT YOU DOWN and not respond to you questions as to 'why' or 'what did i do to get shut down'? They can JUST DO IT! America use to be 'We the People' not 'We the Government'. What happened to Obama's transparency?

Seriously, I'm afraid. Obama is our new dictator and he has to go!

Look this is just the beginning. Soon all departments will be able to reject request. But think about it it is a program that was born out of government corruption in the 60's. And in good government behavior, they put the policing powers in the government. So the government oversees the government using FOIA. How useful was FOIA anyway. They let some things out sure, but there is a lot more that doesn't leave a directors office. When they fix this, they should make FOIA a non-governmental program (business) available directly to the public as a paralegal service and not a program in the government. It should be provided by private sector employees and not feds.
