Paul’s amendment, co-sponsored with Alan Grayson of Florida, will be a comprehensive audit of the activities of the Federal Reserve.  The vote was 43-26.  (I thank several places including the Ron Paul News blog.  I think Glenn Greenwald and the Huffington Post explain it best, so I’ll leave it there.

I will add:  No institution in a free republic is above the law or public accountability.  Of course there are secrets that cannot be disclosed to the public or the timing of the disclosure might be injurious; however, the general rule is all are accountable to the people or their representatives.  Find out if your representative is a sponsor of Audit the Fed and if not, let them know.  I personally spoke to Cong. Cantor (I do not claim he saw the light just because of me!) at the Virginia GOP convention last summer. 

PS:  I can’t believe I cited Greenwald, Huffington and Grayson in ONE post!  I might get kicked out as a conservative!  I agree with Greenwald sometimes, almost never with Huffington or Grayson!

UPDATE:  FireDogLake also wrote about the Paul/Grayson amendment.  I’ll surely be expelled as a right-winger now!  If you want REAL bipartisanship, perhaps Paul’s your candidate…

UPDATE II:  I found Greenwald at Lew Rockwell’s blog.  Thanks to Lew.  I don’t agree with him super often but he’s a great source of Ron Paul and related news.
