Everyone should know about the End the Fed rallies that are being planned on 11/22-- and here in Houston, we're having one too at our Fed Branch Bank.

The local organizers have done a great job of getting equipment, pulling permits, promoting the event and lining up speakers-- which should include (a 99% chance) Dr. Paul -- we are closest to his home town! :)

Having Dr. Paul give a full-blown speech in front of the Fed should be a historic event. Some of us were able to see Dr. Paul in front of the Fed in NM at the conclusion of the Walk for Freedom recently and there was certainly a lot of energy. This should well top that, I certainly will be there and plan to doing a quality recording in hi-def video.

The organizers are however still short on fund raising, so if you can spare a little or a lot, it will help assure the event is one for the history books.

Here is the web site with a chip-in:

Note: they've collected a lot off-line so they aren't that short.


For those near the Houston area, be sure to join us!

Excellent!! I will match (but in person to avoid paypal fees. :))

Totally agree. I just got word that a friend of mine with the same hi-def camera will be there to shoot and give me the footage, so I'm really going to work up something big.

Please donate and spread the word! Make it if you can come- big crowds make for good video too. :)

That would be an awesome documentary/informational video - a DVD entitled "END THE FED"

Can you put up a google map or mapquest link with the location of the fed site.
I may travel to attend such an event and it would make it easier for me to find my way.
Also, a website and a general call to convene would be cool.
We can spread the message through the campaign for liberty site too.

I think a huge demonstration would be news worthy, especially if you invited the local news to show up.

I live in the Florida panhandle..we always get left out of things...jacksonville is too far and miami is out of the question, birmingham is as far as jacksonville. Whoever organizes this stuff should remember us...Pensacola would be a good place...tones

That's what I'm going to see what I can do. Maybe something short- 10-15 minutes, something that gets the message out but it's too drawn out.

Here's the web site, not sure if this is what you're interested in:

They are working on getting the media, but I won't hold my breath for much coverage. :)

I moved a bunch of post into this thread to keep this important one from being too hijacked. The discussion was getting good and should continue, check it out:

So Ron Paul IS confirmed for this? In that case, I will try to be there.

I also just received notice that he has been invited to speak at an upcoming Mises Institute event in Houston on Jan 24th.

http://mises.org/events/108

Not sure if there's already a thread on that event, but I thought I would mention it. Also not sure if Ron will be at the Mises event, but if he is I will probably attend that along with the aforementioned End the Fed event.

Makes me even more glad to be a Houstonian, to have so many Ron Paul-attended events to enjoy. :D

Also, if someone's traveling in from out of town and they need a couch to crash on, feel free to PM me. I have a house relatively close to the event.
