critic
H.R. 1207: Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009

To amend title 31, United States Code, to reform the manner in which the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is audited by the Comptroller General of the United States and the manner in which such audits are reported, and for other purposes.

Currently "We The People" have no idea of what goes on behind the doors of The Federal Reserve.

So, should The Federal Reserve be audited?

    • Hey S3th.

      Great point I was just talking about that exact thing with my girls friend and a friend.

      Yesterday it was the NUMBER 1 story. Today it is all the way on 33. NEVER EVER that happens on current it is not possible that this story will go all the way down that fast. Post this link to everybody you know to bump it up again.

      WE NEED TO STAND UP TO THOSE THIEVES. Called the Federal Reserve.

    • Why did this go from the number one spot all the way off of the first page so quickly?

      Is CURRENT riddled with scumbag propagandists trying to bury the truth by voting this down?

      Will CURRENT feature this?

      CURRENT could be a vital link in raising the awareness of AMERICAN CITIZENS about how the Federal Reserve works. Another link in the chain of common sense we should all be prepared to put around the necks of those who have sought to enslave us for their own personal, and families fortunes.

      WAKE UP!

      And CURRENT, keep in mind what is truly important, and keep it in THEIR FACE!

    • America lets wake UP. Lets call our congressmen lets sign petitions. We have to end this madness called the FEDERAL RESERVE PRIVATELY OWNED CENTRAL BANK.

      Monday morning I have sent a letter to my Congressman Henry Waxman Rep 30th District of California. That says that we as people demand audit to the Federal Reserve. Please I beg you all who is awake and cares about his freedoms and his rights as an American. DO THE SAME-send a letter to your representative create a petition and make people sign it. They need to know that this what the people want. Also I am going to send a letter to this Lobbyist lady That the Federal Reserve is hiring and let her know that we as people object to her lobbyist efforts to try and throw away this proposition H.R. 1207 from the floor.

      People we need to organize and do something to get this bill passed. If the Federal Reserve (Privately Owned Bank- by numerous powerful banker families) didnt have anything to hide, why would it want to hire Lobbyist.

      It is not a meter of Democrats VS Republicans that is all they want, to think that politicians are the problem. Federal Reserve is the entity that controls money and money in turn controls all governments.

      SPREAD THE WORD OUT.

      Also check this story about the Federal Reserve is trying to lobby his way out of this bill with the help of the same lady who was lobbying for ENRON. Up that story so more people can see it on current...

    • Is this a joke? Of course they should be audited and in my opinion revoked, canceled, abolish the IRS and have the U.S. Government take back control of its own currency.
      The Federal Reserve is no more federal than FedEx! The Fed is owned by a bunch of private citizens who hide behind big corporations. We couldn't even find out who owned the Fed if we tried, other that a string of corporations that most are not even based in the United States.
      C'mon Government --- Take back control of our own money supply and kick these fascist Feds out of our country.
      The Fed is the true root of the problem when it comes to banks, inflation and every other "economic cycle." It is all made up to benefit the few, Period.

      Most people in congress are clueless as to what the Fed actually does. It's merely a means to educate those lawmakers. End goal: to abolish the federal reserve.

    • Don't videotape Federal Reserve buildings, or else!

      Or better yet, do videotape the buildings, and see what happens to you.

      Then post your video here...

      Let's really piss em off!

    • Educate yourselves, your kids, your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers about the FEDERAL RESERVE, from the history of it's creation, to how it operates.

    • In all actuality, we must audit the Federal Reserve because as the central bank of America, they have no oversight by Congress or any other branch of the government. Their power is unmatched and their control over the well being of every day Americans through financial terrorism must be stopped. The government will not step in though, because it is through the power of the Fed and the power of greed and corruption that many of our governmental leaders will turn their heads. Timothy Geithner, Sec of Treasury, was the president of the NY Federal Reserve; do you think he will have any interest in bringing it down? The power must be restored to the people. I say we storm the Fed and count the money ourselves.

    • hmmm im pretty sure this will never happen.
      its like the federal reserve is a bottomless money pit. sure they create money that shouldent exist, but.... ummm ..... yea well it should be regulated but auditing something like that would make u.s. seem unstable.... or , even more unstable....

    • I don't think that it should be audited because it would show the world that we in fact do not have any money to pay back the debts we owe.

      The world already knows that. Our foreign debt alone is to the order of $3 trillion. M0 (actual currency) is only $1.8 trillion (and that was recently doubled from $900 billion). Yeah, the Fed is responsible for that as well.

    • I wouldn't go so far as to say they're criminal. But, the fed is the most unregulated institution of them all. And have you seen the inside of that place? Outlandish!!

    • Yes, the Federal reserve needs to be shut down. Auditing the PRIVATE federal reserve is a good start to putting an end to this creature from jekyll island.

      the federal reserve is not a government agency. they are as Federal as "Federal Express" They receive no funding from congress, and act outside of all executive departments.

    • I think the gov should get a audit. It might not look pretty after they tally the results but at least we'll know what economic standing we are truly in and see how we could fix it.

    • There is no good reason not to audit the fed.res. I think it is absolutely absurd that the fed thinks it can secretly control the monetary system.

    • Absolutely! This criminal banking cartel is unconstitutional and has been manipulating U.S. currency and its economy since its secretive inception. They have no intention of allowing the American middle class to remain successful and steal our wealth at every given opportunity.
