HR 1207-- Audit the Fed?
Here's a very important bill that you probably won't hear much of from the mainstream media, most likely because it was introduced by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas-- a 2008 Presidential candidate in the Republican party who has a libertarian mindset (most of the media, even Fox News, doesn't seem to like Rep. Paul very much because some of his ideas). He is known for sponsoring pretty radical legislation but his bills do get quite a bit of grassroots support while not seeing any action. This may change if Congress hears from you because I personally can't see a reason why someone would be opposed to it especially now.
The only place I heard it mentioned was on libertarian pundit Glenn Beck's program that is broadcasted on Fox News every weekday at 5 pm. You can also watch him on weekends usually on Saturdays at 9 pm but that seems to change quite a bit.
Even if you don't link Ron Paul, I strongly recommend checking out this bill. It seems to be getting quite a bit of support in the House but has not seen any action in the Financial Services Committee. It was referred to the Committee on the same day it was introduced-- Feb. 26, 2009.
