Conservatives Ask Fed for Access to ‘Yellen’s Promise Factory’

Conservative activists are pushing Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to grant them the same access that they say she gave liberal organizations last month.

Yellen should keep the central bank non-partisan and “show the country she is willing to listen to all sides,” Steve Lonegan of American Principles in Action said today at a press conference in front of the Fed building facing the National Mall in Washington. He said Congress should scrutinize the Fed with additional audits of how it makes monetary policy.
