After we broke through the 218 cosponsor threshold on H.R. 1207, I didn't think today could get any better. However, we have even more news.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) today became the first cosponsor of S 604, H.R. 1207's companion legislation. We still have a long way to go before we pass real legislation to Audit the Fed, but this is yet another major step toward our ultimate goal.
Sen. DeMint is highly respected and one of the most principled conservatives in Washington. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), 604's lead sponsor, is a firebrand Independent progressive. To see these two guys on a bill together has to tell you that something special is going on.

Isn’t Sanders a Socialist? Wtf??? LOL. Many socialists see the Fed as a bunch of bankers who are stealing money from the public when that should be the government's sole prerogative.

Well, given that the Fed is a private institution, that kind of makes sense eh? DeMint wants it for the good of the country, Sanders probably wants it to get more control (as any good socialist would).

If you have been paying attention even the hard left is against the Federal Reserve (not for the same reasons we are-but hey the are “allies of convenience” on this issue..)!
