So who's job is it then to "pull that trigger"? Who will kick the plan in to gear? You say it is an act of congress to do so.. but we all know anything the peopl want is seemingly dismissed in congress... Who can veto such an act?
Could the FED turn around and say.. "you know what? You OWE us BIG time.. so until we're paid off" we're not going anywhere". If you can't pay us back then you'll have to work it off, slave"... or something to that effect..
Which entity to the people need to lean on to get things moving in terms of ending the FED?

Okay so lets think about this.
We know the FED needs to end. We know the FED is privately owned but poses as a Government entity.

Op, this is a very simple answer Aricle 1 section 8 in our constitution vests that only congress holds the power to print-coin money.
Congress has power to incorporate a bank. ...
The Government of the Union, though limited in its powers, is supreme within its sphere of action, and its laws, when made in pursuance of the Constitution, form the supreme law of the land.
There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States similar to the Articles of Confederation, which exclude incidental or implied powers.
If the end be legitimate, and within the scope of the Constitution, all the means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, and which are not prohibited, may constitutionally be employed to carry it into effect.
The power of establishing a corporation is not a distinct sovereign power or end of Government, but only the means of carrying into effect other powers which are sovereign. Whenever it becomes an appropriate means of exercising any of the powers given by the Constitution to the Government of the Union, it may be exercised by that Government.

I think Herman CAIN will be a good start.
Yes, he was a key player there but I think if he is the real deal, he knows it has to go or be revampted.
CAIN is looking more Able every passing day.

It will need to be an “Act of Congress”.
Congress must repeal the Federal Reserve Act.
The other method would be the Supreme Court would need to find that the Federal Reserve Act is Unconstitutional. Which it actually is, since the Constitution is very explicit in the manner in which the Federal Government is to handle finances.

You might think me nieve to say this, but I believe it with all my heart. If we get Ron Paul in, and he stands strong and surrounds himself and works with, like minded officials, he could at least....kick the Fed Reserve out of this country. This country.
