On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to cosponsor the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2017, H.R. 24, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). The Federal Reserve Transparency Act, which already boasts 44 cosponsors, would require a full audit of the Federal Reserve by the Government Accountability Office.

Last month, the Senate voted 56-41 to rescind the Department of Labor’s “Fiduciary Rule” using the Congressional Review Act. This was after a House vote of 234-183 to repeal the regulation. Under the Congressional Review Act, the House and the Senate reserve the right to jointly overrule unnecessary or burdensome acts of regulatory overreach. Today, as promised, President Obama has blocked Congress' efforts to deregulate. This is the 10th veto of the Obama presidency.

Recently I got to chat with my friend Jason Stapleton, host of the popular online show the Jason Stapleton Program, and founder and CEO of TradeEmpowered. Jason took the time to answer some important questions and shed light on the crisis regarding entitlement reform, and how the millennial generation is getting scammed out of a prosperous future.

Imagine if you will, you're just an everyday a socialist in training. You are trying your hardest to take over the what was once the greatest engine for job creation and innovation in the world- the US economy, by using government and overall federal coercion as your grand method. How would you hid this scheme to steal America? The greatest case of grand theft in all of history is occurring right before your eyes.

On January 12, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (S. 2232) is scheduled for a vote in the Senate. Authorizing review by the Governmental Accountability Office of our nation’s monetary policy, the bill was introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). But the bill’s final vote is arguably due to the legacy of the Senator’s father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), who championed the causes of sound money and central bank transparency over his 12-term career in Congress. Dr. Paul is the subject of this week’s Profiles in Liberty.

On Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul will finally secure a Senate vote on his perennially authored bill to audit the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. This is a bill that has been offered by Paul, and by his father Ron Paul before him, every year since 2009, but this will be the first time the Senate has actually voted on it.
