Four more House Reps co-sponsored HR1207 on December 1:

Rep Reyes, Silvestre [TX-16]
Rep Rodriguez, Ciro D. [TX-23]
Rep Kilpatrick, Carolyn C. [MI-13]
Rep Boren, Dan [OK-2]

The state of Oklahoma is now a premier member of what we call the "HR 1207 100 Club", where all House Reps have co-sponsored Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill. 

Other HR 1207 100 Club member states:  Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississipi, Montana, Nevada, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming.

Now, the real test will be whether these 317 co-sponsors will support HR1207 as a stand-alone bill rather than as added language to the woefully inaccurately named ""Financial Stability Improvement Act" (wherein the Fed would be given even more power and thus give us even greater instability).

Every HR 1207 co-sponsor needs a phone call from you to remind them that HR1207 has everything required to stand very well on its own, thank you very much.

Find the full list of co-sponsors here.  Then, click here to find your U.S. House Representative's phone number.

If you see that your House Rep hasn't co-sponsored yet, you might want to ask them why....

After all, isn't transparency exactly what we were promised last fall?

I actually wrote to Reyes about HR 1207, finally he decided to cosponsor it. However, I had the help from my fellow members, if it wasn't for them I would not be able to say that we did our best.

Glad to have helped get Nevada in the 100. Still working on our Senators though.

This was my reponse from Pennsylvania Congressman Murtha I appreciate your contacting me regarding H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. While the Federal Reserve System is a part of the federal government, it is subject to checks and balances, just like all federal departments, bureaus, and independent agencies. It is important that these checks and balances are maintained. The Federal Reserve Transparency Act has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, a Committee on which I do not serve. I will keep your comments in mind should this bill come to the floor of the House for a vote. Again, I appreciate your contacting me on this issue and I encourage you to keep in touch.

Dear Representitive, Passage of HR 1207 as a standalone Bill is my litmus test for the 2010 election. Three major economic meltdowns in under 100 years suggests that our central banking monopoly is unworkable or faulty. HR 1207 is the full audit required.
