Also called the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, HR 1207 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives of the 111th United States Congress by Campaign For Liberty's Honorary Chairman, Congressman Ron Paul (TX-14). The bill proposes a reformed audit of the Federal Reserve System (the "Fed") before the end of 2010. As of May 25, 2010, it has 319 cosponsors and has been referred to the Committee on Financial Services. A Senate version is called the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009 (S.604) and currently has 30 Cosponsors. A related bill uses the same two names in reverse order.
The official Campaign for Liberty website encourages members to lobby in support of the bill. Following a link on the homepage, users are brought to the Audit the Fed website devoted exclusively to this effort.

“I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
““End of tomorrow.
Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
