Video: Ron Paul on Sanders' Senate Sell-Out -- May 6, 2010
From Ron Paul's Facebook page:
Bernie Sanders has sold out and has sided with Chris Dodd to gut Audit the Fed in the Senate. His "compromise" is what the Administration and banking interests want - they'll allow the TARP and TALF to be audited, but no transparency of monetary policy decisions, discount window operations or agreement with foreign central banks. We need to take aciton and stop this!

According to Congressman Paul, the new Sanders amendment is essentially the same as the Watt amendment that was defeated in the House last Fall.
It is supported by the White House, the Federal Reserve and Treasury.
As a possible alternative, Politico reports that Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) wants time to draw up an alternative to the new Sanders amendment, which some in the GOP viewed as "gutted."
Call Senator Sanders' office at (202) 224-5141 and give his staff your thoughts on his last-minute sell out.
After almost 100 years of secrecy, a decimated dollar and trillions in bailout agreements, the American people deserve a completely transparent, independent audit of the Federal Reserve.
