Harry refuses to answer why he has changed his vote and has made statements to the fact that he block the bill from seeing the light of day in the US Senate. Seems Democrats don't want to upset the status quo and they only went along with this bill to gain some popular support and now their true masters (major banking intuitions) are putting on the pressure to kill this bill before it can do some good.
In addition 8 of the original democrat co-sponsors filp sides and vote against the bill.

Reid was for FED Audit before he was against it
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has said he will block the popular Audit the FED legislation from seeing the light of day in the U.S. Senate. Reid is taking this position even though eighty percent of the American people want a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve. Audit the FED legislation passed with bipartisan support in the House of Representatives yesterday by a whopping vote of 327-98. Consequently, some voters are questioning Senator Reid's motivation.
What people may not know is that Senator Reid was a strong proponent of Audit the FED legislation in the past as this video from 1995 proves. Not only did Senator Reid propose and sponsor such legislation, but he also made impassioned speeches in the well of the Senate championing the idea.
Reid correctly pointed out that the FED improperly manipulates interest rates and that hurts the American people. He also pointed out that the FED operates under a veil of secrecy, which is a process that should end. He called the FED system the largest unfounded mandate we have in America today.
So, why is Senator Reid blocking the same bi-partisan legislation today? Undoubtedly he will offer a series of excuses about the content of the proposed bills today being different than in the past, or do some other such political maneuvering. However, it seems more likely that Senator Reid could be responding to political pressure from the banking, business, government, and media interests that control the United States. Will Senator Reid have the courage to buck those interests on behalf of the American people? Time will tell.

In addition 8 of the original democrat co-sponsors filp sides and vote against the bill.
All House Republicans voted in favor of the bill, except for New York Rep. Bob Turner. Ninety-seven Democrats — notably including the party’s House leadership — voted against the bill, and 89 Democrats voted in favor.
The eight co-sponsors, all Democrats, that voted against their own legislation not only sponsored the 2012 bill, but each also co-sponsored its 2009 incarnation.
