Try something like this:

Hi, I am a constituent and noticed that you, my congressman (or woman) has not yet signed on to co-sponsor H.R. 1207. H.R. 1207 is a bill to bring a little transparency to the federal reserve. With the latest crisis on Wall Street, I think we can all agree that transparency is a good thing, yes? The bill is very short. Just a few paragraphs. Other congressmen in this state (if you can say that) have already jumped on the bandwagon. Won't you please ask the congressman to join them?

I would appreciate a short note explaining the congressman's position on this. My address is ….

It worked in my state. The next day my congressman joined the group of co-sponsors. But, I got the impression that if I hadn't made the call, his office never would have heard of this. He was willing to be a co-sponsor, but his office had never heard of the bill.

So, come on folks. Get busy. Let those folks out there know that you want them to support this bill. If you get resistance, try shaming them into it.

Something like:

Look, this is just a bill to AUDIT the fed, not to control it in any way. Surely you are not saying that we are all better off not knowing what the fed is doing with our money? You can't be suggesting that hiding your head in the sand is better? All this bill does is to allow us to know what the fed is up to. How can you run this country if you don't know what is going on with our money?

Good luck.
