The Honorable Harry Reid

Majority Leader
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Senator Reid,

On behalf of Campaign for Libertys nearly three quarters of a million members, I urge you to
schedule a standalone, roll call vote on S. 209, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, the Senate
counterpart to H.R. 24, immediately upon your return to Washington in November.

For the second Congress in a row, the peoples House of Representatives has spoken
overwhelmingly in favor of complete accountability at the Federal Reserve by voting to pass the
Federal Reserve Transparency Act, better known as Audit the Fed.

On September 17, 2014, the House passed H.R. 24 under suspension of the rules by a vote of
333-92, a margin even larger than when it passed 327-98 in July 2012. This shows that, far from
2012s passage being a one-time fluke, support for transparency at our nations central bank is
stronger than ever.

Additionally, polls consistently show nearly 75 percent of the American people support fully
auditing the Fed.

Unfortunately, despite telling voters in a debate during your heated re-election campaign in 2010
that you support auditing the Fed and even called for a Fed audit in 1987, you have prevented
this legislation from having the simple up-or-down vote it deserves in the Senate as a standalone
bill since the 111
th
Congress.

Again, I would urge you to act quickly to do what is right politically, philosophically, and
economically for our country by scheduling a vote on S. 209, or its House counterpart, at the
beginning of the lame duck session. Time is running short.

For Liberty,



Ron Paul
Chairman
