This is very, very important legislation and it is gaining traction but needs additional cosponsors to ensure it makes it through committee < the usual bone yard.
"There are already 311 cosponsors for HR 1207, and 30 cosponsors for S 604! You can view the list here, or begin your efforts by signing our online petition. A treasure trove of information on Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill and stories from fellow Campaign for Liberty members can be found below."

Try voting and getting involved, like the OP, instead of watching Super Bowl, Whirrled Series, Final Four, etc. Politicians spend money like it's not their's because there's not much accountability.
Make each voter pass a basic test on ALL the candidates, what they stand for, and what their campaign promises are. If you fail, you don't get to vote.
That would be something. I don't have a lot to offer so I'm assuming I'd be effed.
... what are you talking about. I don't care to back useless legislation. If that's not the case, please let me know. As I understand it, the bill in it's current form does next to nothing.
Yeah, get pissed and get behind something that doesn't change anything. That will show them.

I would rather support a useless bill than a bill that will make things worse. For example the healthcare bill, the cap and tax bill, for the faux stimulus bill. Those are all bills that will do nothing but make things worse ... so why do you support them?
to regulate is to own. Obama and thse Dems want to regulate everything and promote ignorance and make ignorant people. Our dollars are worth nothing because we let the man get carried away.

Uh.
You supporting a useless bill sends the message to Congress that they can pass useless legislation to placate the masses.

I will support it until Ron Paul pulls his endorsement. At that point, you can be sure it has been neutered. What it sounds like is that parts of the bill are being stripped and included in different legislation.
But it says nothing about the bill itself being changed. I guess they aren't expecting it to get passed.
The bill in its original form required audits of Fed transactions with foreign banks, of its deliberations on monetary policy, of the activities of the Open Market Committee, and disclosure of communications between the Federal Reserve Board and reserve banks. All of these provisions, according to Congressman Paul, have been removed. “There’s nothing left,” Paul told Bloomberg News in a telephone interview. “This is not a partisan issue. People all over the country want to know what the Fed is up to, and this legislation was supposed to help them do that.”
Support "Audit The Fed" Legislation, Here is How:
