To the Reader -
I sent this letter to Congressman Dent urging him to vote to audit the Federal Reserve system through his contact form on May 5, 2009. I had previously contacted him on this issue through this contact form in March and April, and left a message at his office in April. Although there has been no reply to-date, this does not mean it is being ignored as his traffic maybe too heavy.
However, I recently discovered that I am not the only one. Wouldn't it be great if after contacting your representative you could see who else has and what they had to say? This is one of the accountability problems my campaign will address.
Dear Congressman Dent -
Please consider co-signing HR1207, the Federal Reserve Accountability Act. This will open the FED to an audit of their monetary policy aspects by the GAO. As you may be aware, no one, including Congress, has any specific details on what our Central Bank is actually doing with our nation's currency, and Bloomberg even filed a Freedom of Information Act request for information on the TARP bailout and disclosure of $2 Trillion in loans.
The American people also deserve to have an independent audit completed of our physical gold holdings.
I had previously called your Washington, DC office and written to your website on this issue last month with no reply. There are currently 124 co-sponsors of this bill. For more details, please read this article I wrote in March or feel free to contact me.
I would also like to bring to your attention that I have decided to run for Congress during the next election in our district. The biggest reason for this is our current monetary policy, which I strongly disagree with since it is not benefiting the people of our district, nor of this nation.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Bravo, Jake. All the best on that run for Cartel — uh, I mean, Congress. You should receive beaucoup support, starting here. And hats off, as always, for your inspiring efforts in the struggle for individual liberty.
But here is what I want to know: What does it take to get this bill out of committee and on the floor of the House for a vote? How many cosponsors does it need to force that? Or does that even matter? Is it really a matter of getting Barney Frank to move it to the House for a vote? What's the process? Does anyone know?
