Yesterday, Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve received its 290th cosponsor. If you include Paul that makes 291 lawmakers supporting HR.1207. This makes it a veto-proof 2/3rds of the House. That is of course assuming all the cosponsors vote for the bill, which hasn’t always happened in the past.
It is truly a bipartisan bill. Sometimes the political winds blow in such a way as to make the “right” thing happen. This is one of those times.
The companion bill in the Senate now has 27 cosponsors with Barbara Boxer being the most recent signatory. See the full list of cosponsors.
To demonstrate the bipartisanship for this bill just look at the fact that Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist introduced the bill (S.604). Jim DeMint a strong hard-line conservative was the first to cosponsor the bill. Not too long after that the moderate conservative John McCain cosponsored. And now the arch-liberal from California Barbara Boxer is on board. What a bunch of bipartisanship!
With this number being reached and the news that there will be hearings on the bill it is so true what Victor Hugo said and Ron Paul echoed during his Presidential campaign:
“No army can stop an idea whose time has come.”
Feel free to put our “Audit the Fed” counter image on your own site. Details are here. Also, if your representatives are not cosponsors why are you still reading this? Contact them right now and demand they cosponsor an audit of the Federal Reserve.

First an audit of the Federal Reserve (which isn't federal, nor has any reserves), then get rid of that unconstitutional agency. After the fed is gone, next comes its collection agency (which BTW is by definition the largest terrorist organization in the world) the IRS.
Time for this country to return to not only sound money but, constitutional money system and a constitutional taxation system.

Glad the Federal Reserve is on deck for an audit. Hope they start the process with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. It's a sick place of favoritism, cronyism, discrimination, "the annointed." It's a white boys club of "both sexes," and NO GAY MEN need apply. It's quota is filled by a couple of favored tokens (mainly lesbians who don't pose a "threat" to the boys of the club), so move along. For some, the great thing about the Federal Reserve is that you can fuck your way in to all sorts of great positions that are yours FOR LIFE–particularly in the IT department–if you're a long-legged, barely college-graduated bimbo. That should appeal to many. But don't be fooled: all are not rewarded as some. Equal work does not mean equal opportunity for pay, promotion, and support. And if you're NOT an economist and do not have a PhD, do NOT even thinking of being "bright" or "smart." You will threaten and you will be suppressed.
