On Sunday, November 22, 2009, local activist group End the Fed Houston will be joined by Congressman Ron Paul at Buffalo Bayou Park between 1:00pm and 4:00pm to peacefully protest America’s central bank as the source of 2008’s economic woes. The Rally is titled “Save the Dollar, End the FED!” According to the group, the central economic planning and controlled devaluation of the U.S. Dollar have perpetuated and exacerbated past and present economic conditions.
“Politicians and banking officials have purposely used hard-to-understand banking terms to disguise the true nature of our central banking system.” Organizer Charlene Keller said, “This successfully confuses the public and hides the fraud that is actually going on. We plan to break it down in plain English.”

These crises are then complicated by changes in value of the U.S. Dollar. “It’s like trying to build a house, but the measuring stick you use keeps changing.” Said organizer, Jonathan Kocurek, “In our case, the measuring stick is the value of the U.S. Dollar.” The group further purports that the Fed controls the value of the dollar by expanding or retracting the currency supply and this constant meddling leads to systematic instability.
The rally is endorsed by a wide variety of local and national groups including Young American’s For Liberty – University of Houston chapter, The Harris County Libertarian Party, The Houston Area Liberty Campaign (on Meetup.com) and Restore the Republic.
