Take Action in August to Audit the Fed
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Dear Friend of Liberty,
Turn on the TV . . . pick up a paper . . . surf the news sites . . . even visit Youtube.
Everywhere you look, Congressmen are catching heat in their own backyards.
They thought going back to their districts during August recess would be a breath of fresh air and a time to unwind. Boy, were they wrong!
Now they can’t wait to run off back to Washington, D.C. to escape the mobs of outraged constituents in their home districts.
So that’s why we need to make their return to D.C. as politically unpleasant as some of these townhall meetings.
Campaign for Liberty is launching a mass action movement, and we need you to be a part of it.
Starting right away, it is time to double down on collecting signatures for S 604, the Senate Audit the Fed Bill.
While Congress is still on recess, townhall meetings are a great place to gather tons of petition signatures.
To make things interesting, Campaign for Liberty is upping the stakes. The person who gathers the most signatures in each state will win a pocket Constitution and a copy of Dr. Paul’s new book End the Fed, both autographed by Dr. Paul himself.
And whichever state collects the most signatures (as a percentage of population) will win a $1,000 gift certificate to the Campaign for Liberty store.
A recent Rasmussen poll shows that 75% of Americans support a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve, so there are plenty of willing signers out there just waiting to be asked.
With 3 out of every 4 people a supporter, you could gather hundreds of petitions just hitting a few blocks door-to-door!
But collecting the petitions is just the first step.
When the Senators return to D.C. on September 8th, we want to let them know right away that we haven’t let up. We want them sweating as soon as they get back.
So, for the first week (September 8th – 15th), let’s keep their phones ringing off the hook about Audit the Fed. Let’s keep at least one staffer in every office busy from morning to night.
If everyone makes just one call a day, they will be overwhelmed. And believe me, they will get the message.
And that’s when we hammer it home.
On Tuesday, September 15th at 4PM, it’s finally time to deliver those petitions!
Your local leaders are already developing a strategy for the most effective petition drops, so please check your state page for plans and updates.
Similar pressure brought almost two-thirds of the House of Representatives on board with Audit the Fed, and it’s high time the Senate shaped up.
Can you imagine the reaction at each Senate office to hundreds of patriots delivering thousands of petitions, all on the back of a week of non-stop calls and a month of townhall protests?
The effects of displays like these are two-fold, because in addition to putting political pressure on your Senators, they generate local media coverage and help spread the Audit the Fed message to more voters.
Which in turn puts more pressure on your Senators.
So let’s turn up the heat. Gather as many S 604 petition signatures as you can. Hit up the townhall protests and any other liberty-minded rallies.
Remember, the winning signature-gatherer in each state wins a copy of End the Fed and a pocket Constitution, both autographed by Ron Paul.
Not to mention the winning state gets a $1,000 Campaign for Liberty shopping spree!
When the Senators finally retreat to Washington, D.C. on September 8th, call their office daily to ratchet up the pressure for Audit the Fed.
And then, on Tuesday, September 15th at 4 PM local time, we’ll really let ’em have it! We’ll deliver those thousands of petitions simultaneously, in front of news camera and the public eye.
Check your state page for specific petition drop plans for your state.
This Mass Action Movement will be critical in getting Audit the Fed passed in the Senate. I hope you will take the time to join in this winning fight.
In Liberty,
John F. Tate
President
