Now that the Senate is back from their long recess, I want to restart the Audit the Fed Bill Phonebombing.  Here are some talking points as well.

I recommend posting the following messages on Facebook or anywhere else you think would be a good place to speard this message.  We now have 25 sponsors and cosponsors of this bill in the Senate (and I know of two more Senators who support the bill but have yet to cosponsor it). We need to keep pushing if we want this bill to pass.

Please make your calls and pass this information onto your friends and family.

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.

H.R. 1207 is the Audit the Fed bill that I wrote about earlier.  I wanted to give a quick update on the status of the bill.  This bill now has 165 cosponsors in the House of Representatives, plus the support of its author, Congressman Ron Paul.

If the bill gets 218 cosponsors, it will undoubtedly pass the House, as 218 is over half of the total House members.  Support for this bill is rising.  Please call or email your Congressman to tell them to support this bill.

Senator Bernie Sanders, a self described socialist from Vermont is the sponsor of the Senate version of this bill.  This bill has such a  diverse group of supporters, from the ardently free market capitalist Ron Paul, to the socialist Bernie Sanders.  This bill is a common sense effort at transparency for our central bank.  Our national bank, which has been given the power to print money and set interst rate and banking policies has never been audited in over 95 years of existance.  I see no reason whatsoever to oppose this bill.

Congressman Ron Paul has proposed an interesting bill in the House of Representatives.  No, it isnt another “crazy” proposal from the Congressman, but rather a very sensible one.

If passed, this bill would require that an audit of the Federal Reserve take place before December of 2010.

The Federal Reserve was established in 1913 and has never been subjected to a government or independent audit.   The Federal Reserve controls the Nation’s money supply and has the power to print new money as it sees fit.  It also controls interest rates, and therefore has a great deal of influence (to say the least) on our economy.

It is also a private corporation, owned by its members–the same large banks who are being blamed for the current financial crisis.

Requiring an audit of this institution is just plain common sense.

I do not see how any sensible, reasonable person could oppose this on any grounds.

This bill now has 112 cosponsors in the House.  The number is growing every day.  This bill is also getting bipartisan support.  One of the cosponsors is California Representative Lynn Woolsey.  She is vice-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and was the first House of Representatives member to call for withdrawal from Iraq.  Georgia Representative Tom Price, a staunch conservative is also a cosponsor.  This bill also has the support of plenty of other prominent Democrats and Republicans.

I would not be surprised if President Obama threw his support behind this bill.  The President claims to be a very big proponent of transparency.  Supporting this bill would be a great way to prove it.

From Congressman Paul: “Since its inception, the Federal Reserve has operated without sufficient transparency or accountability to the American people. In fact, current law specifically excludes the Fed from audit or real congressional oversight. No government agency has such an utter lack of sunshine.

There is a similar bill now being proposed in the Senate.

Please click here to email and/or call your Senator, Representative, President, and/or Vice President.

With your help, an audit of the Federal Reserve will soon take place.
