HR 1207 - Federal Reserve Transparency Act - Tops 245 Co-Sponsors

Bookmark and Share

Support has really picked up for HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act written by Ron Paul. When I first started reporting on the bill back in March, 2009 there were only 28 co-sponsors. Since that time people have been calling their reps and demanding that they support this bill.

The response has been pretty overwhelming and so has the support in the House. Back in the beginning of May I did a followup post and at the time there were 111 co-sponsors.

Now I am thrilled to report that there are 245 co-sponsors, that represents more than half the members of the House and this bill would surely pass as it sits right now. If it could just be placed on the calendar.

The Federal Reserve Transparency Act would allow the Government Accountability Office to audit the Federal Reserve. Currently there is no oversight into what the Federal Reserve - a private institution - is doing to the value of our dollar and who they are giving money too. It is totally in secret and is against the Constitution which put appropriations in the hands of Congress.

The bill is simple and to the point. There are not 500 pages of garbage in it as it stands. You can see the co-sponsors and read the text of the bill yourself.

Below is a video of Ron Paul explaining HR 1207. And below the video is a list of those in the House who have co-sponsored this bill. If you don't see your rep's name call the Capital Switchboard and ask for them by name, then demand that they co-sponsor HR 1207 The Federal Reserve Transparency Act
