Now it's all up to the Senate. Lets hope they come through.
Hundreds of young libertarians gathered Wednesday night to celebrate the legacy of retiring Rep. Ron Paul hours after the House passed legislation to audit the Federal Reserve that the Texas congressman has been pushing for years.
We had a little vote today in the House of Representatives, Paul said to roaring applause at the Young Americans for Liberty event in his honor.
After the young crowd began chanting, End the Fed! End the Fed! Paul responded: Ive always argued that once the Fed gets audited, the Fed will end.
While the House overwhelmingly passed Pauls signature legislative desire Wednesday, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Sen. Harry Reids office has signaled that he wont bring the legislation to a vote in the Senate.
Pauls son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul who also addressed the crowd at Catholic University on Wednesday night urged those assembled to email Reids office and plead with him to call a vote on the legislation.
The lawmaker said his staff uncovered video showing Reid in the 1990s going to town, talking about how we should audit the Fed.
Now, you have to convince him that he still believes that, Rand Paul said. And so one of the things you can do, if everyone in this room left here and emailed Harry Reid, I think it would help.
Ron Paul predicted that the Senate would pass the legislation if actually brought to a vote.
The Texas congressman said, If they did have an up or down honest vote in the Senate right now, Im convinced the majority would vote for it.
The remarks were made Wednesday at the national convention of the Young Americans for Liberty, an organization that grew out of the students supporting Ron Pauls presidential run in 2008...
