The Indiana Daily Student's article on the area's tea party interviews Indiana University YAL member Meredith Milton, who explained that her chapter was circulating a petition at the event in support of Ron Paul's bill to audit the Federal Reserve, H.R. 1207. The full text of the bill, which currently has 55 cosponsors in Congress, may be read here. Is your congressman on the list of sponsors? (Mine isn't, which has me highly unsatisfied.) If not, go here to find your representative's contact information, and shoot off a couple emails to their local and Washington offices.

i've found govtrack to be the best and most reliable source on bills. i trust them just as much as c4l for updates on HR 1207. thinking about doing an op-ed on 1207 for the final issue of my campus newspaper. might be a nice way to close out the year.

Perhaps govtrack is more reliable.. I had always thought that loc.gov was the primary source, being that it is from the gubment and all.

The cosponsor list was at 58 until last week when three of the names were removed due to clerical errors. Here is the campaign for liberty post about it: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=15460
