The latest Washington state congressman to announce his intention to cosponsor the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 (HR 1207) is Jay Inslee from Washington’s 1st congressional district.

Rep. Inslee Promises to Cosponsor HR-1207 by 5/12

Inslee held two town halls this weekend. The first town hall was in Shoreline. Numerous people wanted to know whether he intended to cosponsor HR 1207, but I heard that he made no commitment either way in Shoreline.

I attended the second town hall in Woodinville. A man representing a group of local Democrats expressed his anger about the banking oligarchy. This received a huge applause line, as well as a laugh when Inslee remarked that there must have been few oligarchs in attendance.

The next questioner reminded Inslee of the Democrat’s pledge of greater government transparency. The questioner said this should include the Federal Reserve, and suggested HR-1207 would be a great way to demonstrate his commitment to that pledge. Inslee agreed and promised that she would find his name on the list of cosponsors by 10am Tuesday morning.

The crowd erupted into applause. Watch the TheConcernedVoter’s movie and see it for yourself:

It was a great moment for Inslee, the Campaign for Liberty and the Democratic process.

I am looking forward to finding Inslee’s name on the list of HR 1207 cosponsors. He will be in good company.
