This is the repsonse from my congressman Patrick Kennedy about H.R. 1207:

Dear (My Name):
 
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the Federal Reserve Transparency Act and other efforts to audit the Federal Reserve.  I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
 
As you may be aware, The Federal Banking Agency Audit Act of 1978 requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct regular audits of the three Federal Reserve Bodies.  Since 1978, the GAO has conducted over 100 audits of these institutions.  The Federal Reserve Transparency act seeks to eliminate certain restrictions on the GAO's auditing capabilities.
 
Please know that I share your commitment to strong financial transparency.  I believe strongly that oversight is necessary to ensure that the United States' central bank is held to appropriate standards of openness and fundamental stability.  I will keep your support for this legislation in mind as it comes before me in Congress.
 
Thank you again for your correspondence.  Also, if you would like to receive information on this and other issues pending before the Congress on a regular basis, I would like to invite you to sign up for my e-newsletter.  This newsletter is distributed by my congressional office and covers events going on in Congress and in our Congressional District that may be of interest to you.  To sign up, please visit my website: http://patrickkennedy.house.gov.
 
I hope you will not hesitate to contact me in the future regarding this or other issues of importance to you.

I was watching a Movie Trailer of the new film 'Bruno' by Sacha Boran Cohen (who was the star of the film Borat in 2006) where he plays a gay austrian fashion designer. By the end of trailer I was suprised to see Congressman Ron Paul in same room as Bruno (Sacha Boran Cohen) proceeded to drop his pants and a second later Ron Paul walking out of said room obviously upset.

Has anyone else seen this or know of Ron Paul being in the film by the same guy who did Borat?!

By the way here's the Link:
