TAKE ACTION!
We need to let Congress know (repeatedly) how we feel about this. Perhaps even more important, we need to recruit new members to the cause. As always, there’s power in numbers, and the more of us making a ruckus, the faster we’ll get this done.
Please leave a comment below to let us know what you’ve been doing, and how it’s working out
If you’re doing something that’s having a big impact, we’ll add it to our list and send reinforcements your way!
Check out these projects and ideas:
CONTACT YOUR REPS
Call, write letters & email your reps. Schedule face to face meetings with them to politely explain your concerns, and emphasize that this is an opportunity for them to show whether their allegiance is to their constituents or to their friends at the fed. And, of course, if they make the wrong choice, they’re OUT!
JOIN ONE OF THESE COORDINATED EFFORTS:
- The official Audit the Fed Campaign from Campaign for Liberty
- DownsizeDC.org’s campaign to Audit the Fed

OUTREACH
Submit letters to your local newspapers geared toward introducing regular people to what’s happening with the Fed, and why we need to demand an audit and prevent it from getting additional power
Talk to people about what’s going on, and start up conversations wherever you go – I wear my End the Fed shirts everywhere, and people always ask me about them (or give me high fives).
If you are part of a business or networking group, bring them up to speed on the issues. Check out ByteStyle partner Small Business Against Big Government (SBABG) for information and efforts relevant for entrepreneurs and small business owners. They have a big group on Facebook here

Another great video about the Fed:

“To understand how unwise it is to have the Federal Reserve, one must first understand the magnitude of the privileges they have. They have been given the power to create money, by the trillions, and to give it to their friends, under any terms they wish, with little or no meaningful oversight or accountability. Thus the loudest arguments against greater transparency are likely to come from those friends, and understandably so.”
- Ron Paul

We need numbers – it doesn’t matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this behavior is an affront to America, and it must not be tolerated.
