On November 22nd we will celebrate the one year anniversary of the launching of the End the Fed! Movement. Imagine...in less than a year we have forced the Establishment to hold hearings on our bill to Audit the Fed! The END is much Nearer!

Let's keep spreading the words, waking up minds and not let the Fed and their associates have a good night's rest.

Please spread the word everwhere. Join your local ETF group here and get started right away planning your local ETF rally.

The National ETF Rally group is here: http://endthefedusa.ning.com/group/etfleaders/

Join that group to network with others nationally and share ideas and information, answer questions and get your questions answered, post and share graphics, materials and videos and help each other make November 22nd a great day for Freedom!

Probably some Micheal Moore fans or something I noticed many clips from Capitalism: A Love Story maybe just coincidence and they are against the bail-outs I guess.

Nah, they're the Alex Jones/Zeitgeist/Ron Paul types whose heads are in the right place, but think that all the problems in the country can be linked to the american federal reserve.

Yeah the anti-Fed people are fundamentalist libertarians of the Ron Paul type.

Yeah. they watch Zeitgeist and don't read into politics anymore beyond that. i respect their heart, but it really shows the stupidity of humankind.

"End the Fed" is a slogan that's chanted by Ron Paul supporters in reciting Paul's position on abolishing the Federal Reserve. While that may seem noble, the solution would be disastrous for the economy since they want to replace it with a gold standard.

In addition, Paul for some reason blames all economic problems on the Fed, neglecting to explain thoroughly what we should have done for problems that occurred before 1913. The little fact that Libertarians don't want you to know (or don't know period) is that the government basically took a laissez-faire approach to the economy and it ended up creating some rather long recessions, and it was usually caused by either speculative bubbles or some large company going out of business. Whether or not the creation of a central bank really fixed that is still debatable today.

In my opinion, Marx identified the root of the issue right on the money (no pun intended). It's almost a little scary at how capitalism hasn't changed since the 1800s.
