Illinois September C4L Wrap-Up
Dear Friend of Liberty,
The month of September was a busy, yet exciting month for the Illinois Campaign for Liberty. Concerned patriots from across the state answered the call to bring awareness to S 604, the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act, by gathering signatures on petitions, writing letters to the editor of local newspapers, calling talk radio shows, and participating in rallies in both Springfield andChicago. The efforts, led by Justin Kapacinskas in Chicago, and Greg Bishop in Springfield, both included marches through the streets of the cities, ending at our Senator’s offices, where thousands of petitions were dropped off. The media took notice of our Springfield rally; be sure to check out this link.
On September 25, HR 1207 received it’s first hearing in the House Financial Services Committee. Read all about what transpired that day here. Without the hard work and dedication of members across the nation, this hearing probably would not have taken place, but despite this incredible accomplishment, we can not afford to let up on our efforts. With 299 cosponsors in the House and 30 in the Senate, “Audit the Fed” should pass in both Houses rather easily, however, it is extremely important that we continue to call and write our Representatives and Senators and insist that they vote for this bill in it’s current form and not attached to any other legislation. Those Illinois Representatives that have cosponsored HR 1207 should continue to receive communications thanking them for their support, and requesting that they oppose any changes to the bill. Those Illinois Representatives, as well as both Senators, who have not committed to the transparency of the Federal Reserve should continue to hear from us demanding their support.
