Ron Paul’s proposed legislation, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 (HR1207) now has 46 cosponsors. I must say that the aim of this legislation is so populist that I’m surprised there aren’t already 100 cosponsors. Perhaps the reason is that we constituents haven’t been active enough in getting our representatives to support this bill.

Today, join in the Fax Bomb for HR1207. The idea was originally introduced on RonPaulForums and is now being championed at The Daily Paul with a set of nice HR1207 supporting flyers for faxing. This is a great idea and we (obviously) encourage everyone to participate in faxing your representatives requesting they support the bill.

What I find interesting and perhaps a bit sinisterly amusing is that many Democrats such as Barney Frank who famously called for more transparency from the Fed and Treasury while George W. Bush was in office are AWOL on transparency now that the “chosen one” is President. I think I may fax a few items to Barney Frank respectfully requesting he use actions to back up his words on transparency.

If Frank doesn’t sign on to this bill it further proves that he is nothing more than a partisan lackey. Fax bomb them all today!

NOTE: We’ve added a counter graphic on the LM sidebar to easily keep track of the number of HR1207 cosponsors.
