We are making good progress towards getting this bill more support.  We have to keep up the effort!  The Senate is still preoccupied with the health care debate, but a vote is expected on that issue soon, meaning that there will be more time for Senators to focus on passing S 604.

In case you didnt notice, I put up an entire section devoted to this bill.  You can find it right under the Americanly Yours logo, or by clicking here.

If you use Facebook or GMail, please consider adopting the following messages as your “status” daily.  Even if you are not willing to make these messages your status, please consider calling the Senators.  This is very important!

I was recently interviewed by Walter Hudson for his the Fightin Words Podcast. I spoke with him mostly about the Audit the Fed bill, but we also touched on health care.  I hope this is the first of many interviews for me on the Audit the Fed bill.

Its a very interesting podcast and he hits on the health care debate from a different perspective than I usually do.  My interview starts at around 16:35.

Please check out Walter’s blog as well.

I want to give those of you who have never called a Senator’s office some talking points for how to get your message across when you call.  My conversations seem to follow this pattern:

I usually say something like “hello, i am calling to find out if the Senator has decided to support Senate bill 604.”

There is usually a pause or they ask what bill that is.

I let them know that it is the bill to audit the federal reserve.

Then they usually tell me that the Senator hasnt released a statement on the bill yet, but that they’d be happy to pass along my opinions on the bill.

So I say something like “I think that Senator (XXXX) should absolutely support this bill. this bill is about transparency.  I think its a good thing for Americans to know where the trillions of dollars in bailout money has gone.

Then I reference how Democratic representative Alan Grayson asked Ben Bernanke which foreign central banks received $500 billion in money from the Federal Reserve and Ben Bernanke–the Chairman of the Federal Reserve did not know.  I tell them to check out one of the youtube clips of this testimony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJqM2tFOxLQ&NR=1).

I reiterate the point that this bill is about transparency, and then I remind them that the Federal Reserve is a private institution that controls our Nation’s money supply and that it has never been audited in its 95 year history and that the American people deserve to know what happening with our money.

Then i say something like “please let the Senator know that I would really appreciate it if he would support this bill, thank them and then get off the phone.  It usually takes about a minute and a half or less.  Easy stuff.

As I said on Friday, I started an effort to bombard Senators’ offices with phone calls to let them know about this bill.  Hundreds of calls are being made for this effort daily.  If you are on Facebook, please consider adopting the following statuses this week.  If you arent on Facebook, please get the word out about this bill and the effort to call these Senators any way that you can.

For those of you who havent read the bill, here it is.  The bill itself  is 335 words (337 if you count the words “a bill) and has no scary legalese to it..

If you can take two minutes out of your day every weekday and call these Senators about this bill, we can get it passed.  We are now 8 House members away from having a veto-proof majority in the House, with persistence we can get a majority in the Senate.
