Demand a Senate Vote on the
House's "Audit the Fed" Bill
Today, July 25, the House of Representatives passed Ron Paul's Audit
the Fed bill (H.R. 459) 327-98. 
Here's what Senator Rand Paul
said about today's House passage of his father's Audit the Fed
bill:
An audit of the Federal Reserve is more
urgent than ever. A GAO report from July 2011 revealed the Fed
bailed out banks and corporations to the tune of $16 trillion in
taxpayer dollars. A full and thorough audit will finally bring
transparency and accountability to the secretive institution that
devalues Americans’ savings, drives inflation, and enables big
government. I applaud its passage in the House today.
I also
congratulate my father, Rep. Ron Paul, who has long fought at the
vanguard of this movement when he first introduced Audit the Fed in
1983. Now with 271 co-sponsors and having passed the House, I call
upon Democrat leadership to allow a vote in the Senate on this
much-needed transparency bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
has already vowed not to allow a vote on Audit the Fed in the
Senate. However, Senator Rand Paul's companion bill in the Senate,
S. 202, does have 22 cosponsors. And, the political dynamics of the
upcoming elections could lead to a situation where sufficient
pressure is applied to Reid to enable a vote on Audit the Fed in the
Senate this year.
Your job is to apply grassroots pressure on
your two senators to get a vote on Audit the Fed scheduled in the
Senate. Click here to send a message to both your
senators in support of a vote on Audit the
Fed.
Thanks.
