Three In Four Americans Support Federal Reserve Audit

National Poll Shows Vast Majority of Americans Want Transparency for the Fed,
Underscores Campaign for Liberty`s Efforts to Pass Audit Bill
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
A recent poll conducted by highly respected Rasmussen Reports found that 75
percent of Americans support an audit of the Federal Reserve, our Nation`s
secretive, quasi-governmental central bank. Only 9 percent of respondents
opposed an audit, a further indication of overwhelming support for Fed
transparency.

Congressman Ron Paul`s bill H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Bill of
2009, and S. 604, its Senate companion bill, are experiencing tremendous
momentum on Capitol Hill.

H.R. 1207 currently has 279 bi-partisan cosponsors, including every Republican
and 101 Democrats. S. 604 enjoys 20 cosponsors including Independent Bernie
Sanders (I-VT), progressive Russ Feingold (D-WI), and conservative stalwart Jim
DeMint (R-SC).

Campaign for Liberty has been the leader in a push for a Federal Reserve audit,
using its nationwide grassroots network to educate millions of Americans about
sound monetary policy and the need for transparency in our banking system. The
groups has generated hundreds of thousands of petitions and phone calls to
lawmakers, distributed massive amounts of educational material and canvassed
countless neighborhoods across the country.

"Campaign for Liberty is proud to be the leader in the nationwide push for
Federal Reserve transparency, and this Rasmussen poll is a strong indication
that efforts are working," said Campaign for Liberty President John Tate. "The
Fed is at the heart of so many of our Nation`s financial problems and Americans
deserve to know what is going on behind the shroud of secrecy. Through
innovative mobilization efforts, both online and on the ground, we are bringing
this critical issue to the American people with overwhelming success."

"Politicians everywhere should take note: Americans are demanding transparency
at the Fed. Campaign for Liberty will continue our fight to pass legislation to
produce a full audit of the Federal Reserve," continued Tate.

Campaign for Liberty was founded in July of 2008 to continue the grassroots
momentum generated by Congressman Ron Paul`s presidential campaign. The group
has over 180,000 activist members and enjoys leadership and support in all 50
states.
