GET INVOLVED and let's make this thing BIG, folks.

This event will be held at Federal Plaza from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

To raise public awareness of S 604, the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009 (which is the companion bill in the U.S. Senate to HR 1207 to Audit the Fed!), a peaceful rally is being planned for September 15th. The rally is also meant to generate publicity in the local media and bring pressure to bear on our U.S. Senators from Illinois, Senator Richard J. Durbin and Senator Roland W. Burris to cosponsor S 604 and to explain their respective positions on the bill.

This event is being organized on a statewide scale--specifically in Chicago and Springfield, where both Senators have offices. Our concerted and organized effort will raise public awareness of this important issue and bring political pressure to bear on our Senators for standing in the way of transparency for the Fed. The event will culminate with concerned citizens presenting over 2,000 petition signatures in support of S 604 to both of the senators' offices.

Please see the discussion on the Campaign for Liberty Illinois forum to offer your ideas, suggestions, criticisms, and support for this important event.

I am developing fliers to promote this event and we will be issuing press releases to local media. If you would like to help organize this event, please contact me. I can use all of the help that I can get!

I also need all of the help that I can get petitioning for S 604 in the next few weeks to substantially increase our petition signature count.

Please join the Audit The Fed Illinois Facebook group here.

Also, sign on to AuditTheFed.com and sign the petition there! AuditTheFed.com will also be used to organize a national call-a-thon week leading up to September 15th in order to inundate our U.S. Senators from Illinois with phone calls.
