Grassroots Rising: Audit The Fed Illinois

An “Audit the Fed” Rally in both Chicago and Springfield is planned for Tuesday, September 15th, 2009. The events will serve a manifold purpose–to raise public awareness of the debate (or lack thereof) about Auditing the Fed, to educate our fellow citizens regarding HR 1207 and S 604 and the nature and origins of the Federal Reserve, to attract local media attention, and finally to take action in delivering our thousands of S 604 petitions to the offices of Senator Richard J. Durbin and Senator Roland W. Burris.

Our Chicago “Audit The Fed” Rally will begin at 2:30 PM at Federal Plaza. For those interested in participating in a petition drive prior to the rally, participants will be meeting at 12:00 PM at Federal Plaza and will head over to the Financial District to gather more signatures and attract more people to the rally. Beginning at 2:30, we will have speakers, and then at 4:00 PM sharp, designated teams will deliver our petitions to both Senator’s Durbin and Burris.

We will make a concerted and organized effort to persuade our senators from Illinois to cosponsor the legislation and to seek roll call votes for the bill–or at least respond to the petitions of their constituents and explain their respective positions on the bill. We currently have over 3,000 petitions of citizens of Illinois urging Senator Durbin and Senator Burris to cosponsor this common-sense measure, and we intend to increase that number.

Our vehicle for accomplishing all of that, along with Campaign for Liberty and the recently announced coalition website, AuditTheFed.com, will be a new group called Audit the Fed Illinois, which is a transpartisan coalition for greater transparency, fiscal responsibility, and accountability.

Audit the Fed Illinois is now on Facebook, Twitter, and RestoreTheRepublic.net. Please spread the word and join these social networking groups. I think that we’re going to make an big impact if we can combine our efforts to Audit the Fed on a statewide scale–and this is your chance to be a part of something that could be an historic event. It’s now or never! GET INVOLVED!
