House Rejects Audit the Fed. See the Hall of Shame.
Dear Friend in Liberty,
Yesterday, the House rejected Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed by a vote of 198-229. The Audit was included in a Republican motion to send the Dodd-Frank Fed Empowerment Act (H.R. 4173) back to committee.
If the measure had been approved, H.R. 4173 would have been changed to include the thorough Audit.
Even worse, the majority of those who voted against it were cosponsors of H.R. 1207.
Check out our “Hall of Shame” to see if your representative is on the list of those who abandoned their so-called “support” for Audit the Fed (while voting to further empower the secretive Fed) when real action was required.
Be sure to let them know you will make your fellow constituents aware of their failure to support full accountability from those responsible for this latest economic crisis.
If your representative stood with Ron Paul by supporting Audit the Fed, thank him for his support and urge him to fight any future efforts to expand the Fed’s powers.
See the complete roll call on the motion here.

There’s still time to stop this Fed powergrab in the Senate.
Find your senators here. After you contact your congressman, please call your senators and demand they stand up for the American people by defeating H.R. 4173 and taking a standalone vote on S. 604, Audit the Fed.
We’ve come too far to let the Fed off the hook for its actions. Call Congress today!
In Liberty,
John Tate
President

As usual, the bill introduced was countered with another bill and then tacked on to that one in diluted form. As per the politicians avoidance to represent us in an honest and responsible way. The interesting thing is that this issue is split on party lines. So the big question (clue) is why almost all the democrats are against this reasonable measure? Can we hazard a guess?
