Today thousands of citizens created awareness about the myths and dangers of the Federal Reserve central banking cartel by organizing rallies at over 35 federal reserve offices/banks nationwide.
Congressman Ron Paul, who introduced HR 2755 aka Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act in 2007, spoke at the Houston rally today.

Today, Nov 22, also happens to be the anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination.
No doubt this was not lost on the organizers of today's End the Fed rallies. 
A few months before he was killed, JFK signed executive order 11110 as an attempt to eliminate the Federal Reserve.
There is coverage of today's End the Fed rallies from call ins around the nation through midnight tonight at www.rtrradio.com

Former presidential candidate Ron Paul's speech in Houston today covered sound money alternating with central banking as America's monetary system throughout history. He also shared details of his questioning of Ben Bernanke upon the Fed Chair's retrun from his meeting with the European central banks. Dr. Paul states that Bernanke operates within the parameters of the law, but not the constitution, when he refuses to confirm or deny plans to participate in a global federal reserve system.

Most anyone paying attention to urban development in the Quad Cities is familiar with Dan Carmody. Carmody spent 18 years reinventing and re-energizing Rock Island as director of Renaissance Rock Island. He recently accepted a similar position in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (See "The Man Behind Rock Island Renaissance," River Cities' Reader, October 19, 2005.)

Over the years, the Reader has often written about Carmody's projects and ideas, including the most recently published "Vacation Manifesto: Radical Ideas to Grow the Quad Cities" (River Cities' Reader, June 14, 2006).

Davenport's Third Ward alderman, Keith Meyer, upon reading that "manifesto," requested that the city hire Carmody to speak to city leaders regarding his ideas and other important growth issues.

Subsequently, the City of Davenport Design Center hosted a presentation by Carmody, at the Figge Art Museum inside the Deere Auditorium last Monday evening. The event was billed "A Game of Twenty Civic Questions: a lively, interactive session that considers key questions for successful regional development with emphasis on urban core development and global issues."
