July 24, 2014: House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will be marking-up Ron Paul’s #AuditTheFed bill

Dear Thomas Jefferson, Tomorrow, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will be marking-up Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 24), which was introduced in this Congress by Representative Paul Broun. This is a major step toward getting House and Senate floor votes on Audit the Fed this year. And it is a tribute to the efforts of Campaign for Liberty members like you! But we cannot drop our guard! Although Campaign for Liberty staff has heard that the Committee intends to mark up a clean bill, some members have tried to amend the bill in the past to water down the audit. If we can secure victory in the committee, we can then turn up the pressure to get a last-minute vote on Audit the Fed before the August recess. Another win in the House would greatly help us force Harry Reid to finally schedule a Senate vote on Audit the Fed before the fall election. So please, call Rep. Jackie Speier at (202) 225-3531 and tell your representative to do all they can to make sure the House passes a clean Audit the Fed bill before the August recess! If your representative is on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, ask them to vote against any amendment that would water down Audit the Fed or attach unrelated issues to it. Note: Campaign for Liberty is supporting one amendment, offered by committee Chairman Darrell Issa, to remove redundant language from H.R. 24. You can see the list of Committee members here. At the beginning of this Congress, many political observers predicted that with C4L Chairman Ron Paul no longer serving in Congress, Audit the Fed wouldn’t get anywhere. But you proved them wrong! Immediately after Georgia Representative Paul Broun introduced Audit the Fed, C4L members began flooding the House with petitions, emails, and phone calls demanding their representative support the bill. And you helped make history. Because of your actions, Audit the Fed obtained the support of a majority of cosponsors for the third Congress in a row! But now is no time to rest on our laurels. You can bet the Fed and the well-heeled lobbyists for the Big Banks and Wall Street firms that benefit from Fed secrecy will keep fighting us tooth and nail to foil our attempts to get a vote on Audit the Fed. And once we get it through the House, we are going to need all the resources we can muster to turn the heat up even more on Harry Reid and wavering senators to get a vote in the Senate. With many of Reid’s Senate cronies already feeling the heat from the ObamaCare disaster, they may not want to continue to help Reid do the banksters’ bidding by blocking a bill that has twice passed the House of Representatives and is supported by nearly 75% of the American people. As you can see, we may have our best chance yet to get Audit the Fed voted on in the Senate! But first, we must win in the House, so please call your representative today. Tell them to support a clean vote on Audit the Fed. If your representative is on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, urge them to oppose any amendments that would water down or weaken support for Audit the Fed by adding unrelated issues to the bill. And if you can, please support C4L’s efforts to pass Audit the Fed with your most generous contribution of $50, $30, $20, or even $10 to help us make a final push in the House and carry our momentum into the Senate. In Liberty, Norm Singleton Vice President of Policy P.S. Thanks to the hard work of Campaign for Liberty members like you, Audit the Fed (H.R. 24) is moving in the U.S. House! Tomorrow, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will mark up H.R. 24 - a huge step toward getting a House floor vote. So please, call Rep. Jackie Speier at (202) 225-3531 and ask your representative to do all they can to make sure the House votes on a clean version of Audit the Fed before the August recess. And if your representative is on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, tell them to oppose any amendment that would water down Audit the Fed or attach unrelated issues to it. Note: Campaign for Liberty is supporting one amendment, offered by committee Chairman Darrell Issa, to remove redundant language from H.R. 24.
