Harry Reid won't even allow a vote on it...

[tsai3904]

Harry Reid won't even allow a vote on it...

Yea he won't but getting the House to vote on the bill in 2012 was a huge deal.

Five current Democratic Senators are now on the record of voting for Audit the Fed while they were members of the House. There's also several Democratic House members who voted for the bill and are now running for Senate (Stephen Lynch in MA, Bruce Braley in IA and possibly Nick Rahall in WV). This is why it's important to at least get the House to vote on the bill again to get any potential Congressmen who have Senate aspirations on the record.

When Republicans gain control of the Senate, we're going to need every vote we can get and having Democratic Senators who voted for the bill while in the House is going to be very important.

bump for more sponsors! Also remember there is an #AuditTheFed #Twitterbomb coming up on April 15 at 8pm EST to push HR 24, S 209 and to get people to pressure Reid to fulfill his oft repeated promise to support an audit by bringing S209 to the floor for a vote!

Is there an approved message to send my congressman? Mark Meadows isn't a co sponsor yet.

[tsai3904]

Is there an approved message to send my congressman? Mark Meadows isn't a co sponsor yet.

There is no approved message. You can say something along the lines of "I urge you to support H.R. 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2013, because the Federal Reserve should not be allowed to conduct monetary policy deliberations that affect the country in secret."

You can also mention that the North Carolina GOP's recently adopted 2013 platform includes support for a full audit of the Federal Reserve (see Article II, Number 7 here: http://www.ncgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2013-Platform-Passed.pdf)

Has there been any updated news regarding Harry Reid and his suppression of this bill thus far? I was watching this closely for months but stopped after it looked idle.

[tsai3904]

Has there been any updated news regarding Harry Reid and his suppression of this bill thus far? I was watching this closely for months but stopped after it looked idle.

Harry Reid isn't going to allow it come to the floor for a vote. The only hope is to see a Republican controlled Senate. However, pressure still needs to be applied on everyone, especially the House.

Rand has only gotten one Democratic Senator (Mark Begich) to cosponsor his bill in over two years. However, because the House voted on Ron's bill in 2012, we got a lot of Democrats on the record of where they stand. Five of those Democrats who voted for Ron's bill in the House are now Senators. Many more Democrats who voted for the bill are running for Senate (like Bruce Braley in Iowa).

There are some Republican Senators who oppose an audit (like Bob Corker of TN) so we're going to need some Democrats to support the bill when Republicans gain the Senate majority.

[goRPaul]

Being the first democrat to co-sponsor Audit The Fed in 2009, Alan Grayson should be a shoe-in for this bill. Has anyone called him about it?

[Michael Landon]

I received the following e-mail from my House Representative, Richard Nolan (D-MN) CD8....

Dear Mr. XXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns with the Federal Reserve.

I have always supported more oversight, transparency, and disclosure in our government, including the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve must be reformed to serve the needs of working families, not just CEOs on Wall Street.

To that end, I support H.R. 33, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2013, as a means to grant American taxpayers more oversight and more control of their hard earned money. The Federal Reserve has never been required to fully disclose the details of how they manage our nation's money and legislation that lends transparency and honesty to this non-elected body will be both welcome and worthwhile. Rest assured, I will continue to keep you informed as this legislation progresses.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate your advice and counsel, and hope you will continue to stay in touch. Please let me know whenever I can be of assistance.

Sincerely,
Richard M. Nolan
Member of Congress

[tsai3904]

I received the following e-mail from my House Representative, Richard Nolan (D-MN) CD8....

Good to see since he wasn't in Congress when they voted on Audit the Fed last year. H.R. 33 is the duplicate Audit the Fed bill so hopefully he'll sign on as a cosponsor to H.R. 24.

[Champ]

Congressman Nolan also voted yes on the Amash NSA surveillance bill last Wednesday.

As a Minnesotan, I have been closely following our congressmen and their voting records and I guess there is some sense of relief that we have someone who seems to be on the side of the people, at least some of these critical issues as of late.
