Rand Paul: "Audit the Fed" Will Be My First Senate Bill

David Weigel at Slate reports that Rand Paul has sent an email out to the Campaign for Liberty list, where he writes:

As I write you today, I’m preparing for my swearing-in on January 5 and putting the finishing touches on what will be an aggressive agenda for 2011, beginning with my plan to cut $500 billion from the budget. And, of course, I will be working closely with my Dad to pass a full-scale Audit of the Fed. In fact, it will be the first bill I introduce in the Senate. To accomplish our goals, Dad and I are going to need a strong grassroots presence to keep the pressure on.
