Just an update for those who are interested in this. Ron Paul's HR 1207 now has 207 co-sponsors!! and is still building momentum.
And get this: The Federal Reserve is planning to fight the tide by hiring a veteran lobbyist to “manage its relations with Congress,†according to Reuters.
The Fed plans to hire Linda Robertson, who previously worked for now-defunct energy company Enron, as well as the Clinton administration. She is currently head of government, community and public relations at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
I doubt it she can turn the tide though....
