You see, the Federal Reserve can simply allow the auditing of what everyone has access to already, and claim they are audited consistently, and so checks and balances are in place. They’ve even released a 52-page report this year on how many times they’ve been audited in the year, and their supporters cite this as proof that everything is ok, and the lack of auditing is a myth created by Federal Reserve detractors.
The truth is that the Federal Reserve loves these faux audits for the very reason they can cite them in making their case they’re being audited, without looking like they’re not being honest and secret about it. I say faux audits, again, because they audit what everyone already knows, while not having access to the data that really matters to the American people.

At the bottom of the page is a poll and the results thus far are rather startling 12.5k votes and 90% say yes to abolishing the fed.

Hardly a scientific poll but relevant none the less as it is on a mainstream site.
The article is actually about Ron Paul's plight to "end the fed and save the dollar"
