On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote YES on S.Amdt. 1217 to H.R. 4366, the vehicle for the minibus bill that is currently pending in the Senate, to audit the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve currently operates under a veil of secrecy and uses its power to fulfill its absurd mandate of devaluing our currency.
