Anyone want to take all their money out of the banks and see what type of mayhem that will reap?

Years ago I was going to
Years ago I was going to picket a bank, but before doing so I did some research. I discovered that there is a federal statue that makes it a crime to defame or cause a run on a bank. (sort of like yelling fire in a crowded theater, is how they look at it) So, not wanting to spend any time in jail I decided not to picket the bank. I would recommend caution here because you could get into big trouble.
No! Do not link this to the campaign!
This is horrible!
It's like yelling fire in a crowded movie theater!
This could snowball into something that causes consiquences bigger then we can handle or want to be associated with.
Just imagine a 2rd depression BLAMED on Ron Paul!
Please, we do not want to cause problems, we want to fix them.
This is NOT peaceful and could go bad, real bad.
It breaks my heart that the video is even out there. If the banks and MSM could blame this on us, it would be soooo detrimental to our battle. I just think if the banks go bad, we should let them, not provoke it.
Um
I don't think it will be all that effective, besides getting the media's attention. I personally doubt more than 1000 people will have the chutzpah to do such a thing, or have enough money to cause such a severe catastrophe. Remember how many people attended the granny warriors rally?
It will be a good, peaceful way to get attention to the problem that Americans can't see-our money is debt. It might also get people talking about the great evil-Central Banks.
The banks are bad, they have been since they started loaning on fractional reserves. We need to point this fact out to people.
Just because I don't like it
doesn't mean others can't do what they want. I just hate to see this linked to the campaign, that's all.
As much as I don't want people starving in the streets, I do want to see the FED come crashing down.
I imagine you are right about 'not enough money or people' to cause a catastrophe but, RP supporters are already radical terrorist according to most people and this would give them ammo. Just think how they could spin this, even if nothing happened.
Heck yes! (napoleon D voice)
I've already scheduled this on my 3 meetup groups. Hey, this would be good for a sign wave too, signs that just say "thisjune5th.com".
