Is there an approved message to send my congressman? Mark Meadows isn't a co sponsor yet.
There is no approved message. You can say something along the lines of "I urge you to support H.R. 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2013, because the Federal Reserve should not be allowed to conduct monetary policy deliberations that affect the country in secret."
You can also mention that the North Carolina GOP's recently adopted 2013 platform includes support for a full audit of the Federal Reserve (see Article II, Number 7 here: http://www.ncgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2013-Platform-Passed.pdf)
Harry Reid isn't going to allow it come to the floor for a vote. The only hope is to see a Republican controlled Senate. However, pressure still needs to be applied on everyone, especially the House.
Rand has only gotten one Democratic Senator (Mark Begich) to cosponsor his bill in over two years. However, because the House voted on Ron's bill in 2012, we got a lot of Democrats on the record of where they stand. Five of those Democrats who voted for Ron's bill in the House are now Senators. Many more Democrats who voted for the bill are running for Senate (like Bruce Braley in Iowa).
There are some Republican Senators who oppose an audit (like Bob Corker of TN) so we're going to need some Democrats to support the bill when Republicans gain the Senate majority.

I received the following e-mail from my House Representative, Richard Nolan (D-MN) CD8....
Dear Mr. XXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns with the Federal Reserve.
I have always supported more oversight, transparency, and disclosure in our government, including the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve must be reformed to serve the needs of working families, not just CEOs on Wall Street.
To that end, I support H.R. 33, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2013, as a means to grant American taxpayers more oversight and more control of their hard earned money. The Federal Reserve has never been required to fully disclose the details of how they manage our nation's money and legislation that lends transparency and honesty to this non-elected body will be both welcome and worthwhile. Rest assured, I will continue to keep you informed as this legislation progresses.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate your advice and counsel, and hope you will continue to stay in touch. Please let me know whenever I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Richard M. Nolan
Member of Congress

Good to see since he wasn't in Congress when they voted on Audit the Fed last year. H.R. 33 is the duplicate Audit the Fed bill so hopefully he'll sign on as a cosponsor to H.R. 24.

Congressman Nolan also voted yes on the Amash NSA surveillance bill last Wednesday.
As a Minnesotan, I have been closely following our congressmen and their voting records and I guess there is some sense of relief that we have someone who seems to be on the side of the people, at least some of these critical issues as of late.
