Congressman Ron Paul has introduced HR 1207 - The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009.   This bill would allow the Government Accountability Office to audit the Federal Reserve in a way that is currently crippled under the law. The people deserve the full information not just some FED approved "audit".  Let's make history!

H.R. 1207 is getting surprisingly good bipartisan support and thanks to our hard work and dedication, HR 1207 now has 276 cosponsors. There are now 17 US Senators as cosponsors! The companion legislation in the Senate is S. 604.  Get your Senator to cosponsor today!

Now is the perfect time to make our voices known to Congress.   It will still take a massive grassroots impact on Congres to get this "Audit the Fed" bill passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President.

You are encouraged to help by phoning the toll-free congressional switchboard number, 1-877-851-6437, and asking to speak to the offices of the members of the House Financial Services Committee, and then, asking to speak to those representatives who have cosponsored H.R. 1207 to praise and applaud them.

If you want to see if your congressman is already one of HR 1207's cosponsors?  All you have to do is click here and type in your zip code.  Once you do that, your congressman will automatically appear along with an indication of whether or not he is a cosponsor.  The appropriate sample letter will appear below that information.  You can use the sample letter, or you can write your own.  Either way, make your voice heard!   If your representative is already a cosponsor, please offer your thanks and insist he or she fight for a roll call vote on this crucial bill.

If he or she hasn't yet cosponsored, please use the form on our website to send your representative an email right away urging them to support Dr. Paul's bill.  This will be a great way to do your part in supporting our national effort!

The video below is the best one I have found to promote to your friends.   Copy the web URL in the address bar on your browser to an email to all your friends.   DO THIS TODAY!!!   Let's get this to go "viral" and be the biggest outpouring of support in modern political history!  KEEP READING... don't hang up yet, more action info below.

Campaign for Liberty has been on the Hill regularly lobbying congressmen to support HR 1207, Ron Paul's bill to Audit the Fed, and we're pleased to report that the bill's momentum shows no signs of slowing down!

C4L's Jesse Benton has visited well over 50 congressional offices, and reports that "the reception has been unbelievable.... Between our Hill lobbying, the work of Dr. Paul's congressional staff and the work of all the tremendous grassroots activists in our movement, we are making progress unthinkable a few years ago."  Read his report on the C4L blog here.

If the media didn't know what to say about all our "Audit the Fed" signs dominating the Tea Party visual landscape on April 15th, just wait till they see Congress slammed with tens of thousands of C4L petitions!

Make no mistake: We're turning this spirit of freedom into real legislative action.

All C4L members all across America are being asked to take their petitions to their representative's district offices.  Phone calls and emails are powerful tools, but nothing compares to a personal office visit.  (Plan to bring along your cameras! when you turn in your petitions.)  If you want to gather more signatures to take to your non-cosponsoring Congressman, we have a new streamlined petition available here.

Stay tuned to our national home page often for the latest information.

Let's flood their offices with our petitions.  Let's fill their inboxes with our messages.

Your letter, combined with all the thousands of petitions that we are dropping on Congress and across the country, may just start a tidal wave that no one will be able to stop.

We're putting our momentum into action and declaring a National Petition Push.

Pressure still needs to be applied and the word needs to get out to local media and political supporters. If Democrat, send appeals to them to call upon the Rep to cosponsor. Go to it! We only need 32 more cosponsors to pass the House!!!

All you Durham NC Libertarians/republicans need to remind David Price that he is out of touch with his district by not supporting HR 1207. He needs to show his district he isn't a Nancy Pelosi rubber stamp and co sponser Hr 1207. If he doesn't then we have a viable candidate to replace him. And this time it will happen. E-mail, Phone, Fax David Price and tell him to support HR 1207.
